[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] Well, there's the flamewar-inducing argument about registry numbers (E-D is 71000 or so, 'xept she has that honorary 1701-D, while Pasteur is a lowly 58925). The Pasteur also features the squarish lifeboat covers familiar from the E-D and the E-C, but that's not a good indicator of ship age since the low-registered Steamrunners and Akiras have the "modern" triangular pods. Furthermore, the Pasteur has E-D-style LCARS displays on the bridge, and not the more complex (and IMHO more primitive-looking) E-E style - while at least one future timeline ("The Visitor") suggests new and modern ships of the "AGT" future era should have "non-2D" controls. It's still difficult to watertightly establish the Pasteur as an older type. But we do know semicanonically that ships of that class did operate back in the TNG era ("Interface"), so at least the Pasteur should not be radically newer than the E-D. Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
