[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Mighty Monkey of Mim: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by J: [qb]I just don't get it, I don't see how people easily accept the Miranda being pre-TOS in an unrefit version and the Neubla and New Orleans coming before the Galaxy Class but they do not accept a Pre-TNG Akira, Norway, Sabre, and Steamrunner.[/qb][/QUOTE]Just for the record, I accept neither of those assertions either. Registry numbers don't necessarily mean a thing. While it's true that many of them appear to be roughly chronological, there's just too many instances of this being ignored to make it a reliable way of determining the age of a ship. Granted, design asthetic is not concrete either, as has been pointed out. But in my view its much too overpowering in this situation. I don't like to make up unnecessary explanations for stuff. Here's what happened: 1.) Alex Jaeger designed four new ship classes for FC. 2.) The cgi models got assigned registry numbers that didn't exactly jive with a chronological registry system, because ILM had no knowledge of (or at least felt no obligation to adhere to) a chronological order to the registry number system. That doesn't change the fact that these classes were designed to be and are NEW. Sure, you can theorize about refits and such, but why? The only reason is so you can make these vessels fit in with your notions of a chronological registry system. I don't believe such a system exists, at least not without exceptions such as these ships. So I don't need to rationalize by making up backstory that has no purpose other than to make that particular theory appear true. -[b]MMoM[/b] :D [/QB][/QUOTE]
