how about whether the Mirandas and the Oberths seen in TSFS were refits of earlier ships - ie TOS versions a la the Constitution class

also when the Romulans got warp

I was actually planning to put up a page similar to what Frank suggested, presenting all imfamous problems like the Defiant size. I think Frank will be faster, though. The page setup could look like this:
- Problem: The starship **** [image link] is supposed to be ****, however, this is in contradiction to ****.
- Evidence: [heavy quoting, images]
- Solution #1: [description]. This is supported by the individuals a [external link], b, and c.
- Solution #2: ... supported by d and e.
- Personal solution: ...

There could be several links to my own pages as well as to other websites with different arguments, after all we're not working against each other.

Frank and The_Tom have already given a number of good suggestions. Maybe we should open some threads each of which discusses exactly one of the problems or all of them in a questionnaire. We should try not to throw in anything else this time, so it can serve as a basis for Frank's (or another individual's) web page.

Well, in many cases, we don't necessarily want a solution, just an explanation of the problem. It really depends on the issue, though.

Well the Defiant thing really depends on whether we put the show or the intentions of the producers on the first place of ranking.

Exactly - that's what needs to be explained.

Theory...

Reason for the lack of an Enterprise Class is because we have already had one...

I'm looking forward to this page, and the opportunity to hack it apart *L*.

Seriously though, while we may disagree with Frank his work tends to be very thorough and well thought out.

How about is the USS Nash registry a valid registry? I seem to recall that debate just not to long ago.

(I may be repeating some)

Do all class ships still have NX registries?

Conflicting on screen references? (I know there is a reference from Second Chances but I don't have my notes here).

Does use of FASA material or Franz Joseph material or Shane Johnson material validate the information that was used onscreen, or listed elsewhere in the book?

Do refrences to Animated Series validate information from that source?

I'll post more when I bring my ship list tommorrow to look over while posting.

Just off the top of my head: Theories behind how Starfleet assigns registries, in particular why the Prometheus has such a low one. Another would be to compile a list of ships that have more than one registry like the Ahwahnee.

Speaking of registries, we should also talk about the low-registry ships like the Akira that still appear to be new. (After all, the Phoenix, NCC-65420, was definitively commissioned right before the Enterprise...

My theory on Assigned registry numbers

0-29999
These were assigned linearly ( when they were commissioned they were given one)

30000-79999
They were assigned by Construction Contract and place of construction.

ie USS Yamato NCC 71807
7 Denotes it was constructed at Utopia Planita
rest of the numbers indicate the construction contract at the place

Rather impossible, actually. Examples to contradict:
USS Defiant NX-74205, built at Antares
USS Voyager NCC-74656, built at Earth Station McKinley
USS Enterprise NCC-1701-E, built at San Francisco

The same would probably go for all the other ships from 3xxxx and up, for all ships for that matter
