From Sternbach, on rec.arts.startrek.tech, regarding what would go in a Voyager TM:

"We have a ton of new material to show off and new concepts to flesh out technically, like a final complete whole galactic sector numbering scheme (deliberate tease)."

Hm... Since sector numbering hasn't been all that consistent (though not irreconcilably so), I think it's safe to assume that something's not going to work right w/ this...

That's pretty much what I was thinking. But the idea is sufficiently complex to warrent my curiousity.

There has never been such a thing as a numbering scheme. All sectors were named or numbered completely arbitrary, so it will be impossible to include every sector into a new scheme. On the other hand, I agree with anything that creates consistency for upcoming episodes, such as the introduction of the Alpha through Delta Quadrant (well, it's actually not as consistent as it could have been).

I hope they won't be as sloppy as with the DS9 TM

Of course they will. The Intrepid class will utilise reclaimed Daedalus components. Cargo Hold 2 (Seven's hangout, actually on Deck 4 I think)will be located in the main shuttlebay on the diagrams. And any map will show them as still being deep inside the Delta Quadrant.

Not to mention Warp 6 = 1000 ly/y.

As far as the sector numbering is concerned - no biggie. They'll make up a good system as far as it goes and chalk the rest up to deliberate deviations (as in somebody picking a cool car registry such as 1701

Well there HAS been some sort of sembelence of a sector numbering system, well at least according to Nemecek's TNG Compenium, where a few of the 'background' notes (which I loved) mentioned that the Romulans and Klingons were on the federation's 'right' with sector numbers in the low 10's -> mid 100's and that the Cardies were on the left with the Talarians - in the 5**** sector number range.

Seeing how they work for Voyager, I foresee fewer boo-boos than the DS9 TM.

I like this numbering scheme. I hope they'll introduce it on the shows permanently... Would make things much more fun.

Yes, the VoyTM definately has potential. I would think that Sternbach knows the USS Voyager better than any other ship in Trek history.

Well, at least that one is a guaranteed fact, not a supposition
