[QUOTE]Originally posted by Dax: [QB] It looks like only two batches of Ambassadors were built. We've got the 10xxx and 26xxx batches. Every Ambassador we've seen fits into those groups, except of course the 1701C, but it's reasonable to assume she was a part of the 10xxx series. It's also worth noting the coincidence of there being two batches of registries as well as two variants of the class. I speculate that all 10xxx Ambassadors were of the first variety (looking like the Ent-C) and all 26xxx Ambassadors were of the second variety (with the underslung Excelsior shuttlebay etc). In contrast, the Excelsior class seems to have multiple batches of regos. The last batch appears to be 42xxx. Now it goes without saying that 42xxx is a lot healthier than 26xxx. To put it simply, it tells me that Starfleet preferred to build Excelsiors long after the last Ambassador was launched. Why this is the case is uncertain. One basic theory I have is that the Ambassadors were never intended as a replacement for the Excelsiors, in the same way that the Sovereign class is not no replace the Galaxy. Instead, the Galaxy class has replaced the Ambassadors and eventually the Sovereign class will replace the Excelsiors. [/QB][/QUOTE]
