[QUOTE]Originally posted by Peregrinus: [QB] Wrong about the Ambassadors, Dax. The Excalibur (at NCC-26517) is of the exact same type as the Enterprise-C -- after all, it's footage from "Yesterday's Enterprise". The Zhukov and Yamaguchi are both earlier in the 26xxx batch, but they've got the additional shuttlebay, Bussard masks, alternate deflector dish, transporter emitters, etc... And for all we know, the E-C was of the latter batch, as well. The Renaissance class ended its production run in 2337 with the Hokkaido -- which would almost certainly have had a registry higher than the next highest known Renaissance, the U.S.S. Hornet at NCC-45231. And the E-C wasn't even lost until 2344. The Ambassador class is probably about fifty years old by the time of TNG, and construction would have ended approximately forty years before "Yesterday's Enterprise", "Redemption", and "Emissary". Thus, there's some other reason some Ambassadors look one way and some look another -- it ain't production batches... Plus, I like to muddy things further by including Andy Probert's original painting as an indication of what the class looked like when first introduced c.2320s: [URL=http://members.tripod.com/~DesignR/AmbasSHIP.html]http://members.tripod.com/~DesignR/AmbasSHIP.html[/URL] --Jonah [/QB][/QUOTE]
