Well it slipped by whomever did the entry on Memory Alpha, so maybe you should sign up and do them a favour. [Wink]

I think there are some other question marks there too.

Anyway, here's two versions for the Pasteur. Real and alternate future version.

I'd bet that the other officers on that list 'served' on runabouts too [Wink]

I don't think Sisko's list should be so long, is what I'm saying, because to me every runabout is a 'temporary' position. Kind of like listing every shuttle anyone ever piloted somewhere.

Well since the Runabouts were commissioned ships, they should at least have a CO listed, but it would be silly to list the station's entire senior staff as being assigned to the runabouts.

Yeah, I just wouldn't have made the runabouts commissioned ships if I were in charge of Star Trek B) I always thought they should properly be assigned to a mother ship or station similarly to shuttles.

Well either way they didn't get plaques, so it's neither here nor there.

Funny, that's what the Star Trek Encyclopedia says it had too. [Razz]

Fine.

Though finding good quotes is starting to become a problem!

I dunno, I've never been at a loss. But then, I have an Oxford Dictionary of Quotations, plus I look online a lot.

Oh I know about wikiquote, but you still have to FIND a good quote, preferably a terse, relevant one that isn't overused. The terse ones tend to be overused and the relevant ones tend towards the verbose.

Did they ever use "Eureka, I have found it!" or something similar for an Oberth or other sciency type ship?

And I like the use of Cyrllic in the Tsoilkovsky's plaque. But was it actually called the K.E. Tsoilkovsky in canon? I don't remember. However, you've called it the K.Z. Tsiopkovskij by mistake [Wink]
