[QUOTE]Originally posted by AndrewR: [QB] Originally posted by Peregrinus: For starters, the registry is locked in when the ship is ordered/laid down, and has no bearing on launch date. --Jonah Darkwing said: That would make sense. The Galaxy project took a long time to come to fruition, so why couldn't others (like Excelsior)? The ship may have been (under construction) for quite awhile. [b] You know... that's what I said... I just took longer to say it[/b] :D Exactly - the Exxie was really NEW TECH - "the great experiment" - it could have been started way back - even during TOS... the Entente could have come along looking OLDER than the Exxie - since they still had to keep building ships - they couldn't just STOP and wait for the Exxie to be finished. Timo Said: Then again, if the Galaxies took so long to complete, why do they have such high registry numbers? Well, we've seen so many ships that have older registries, that use galaxy parts - even an Oberth (yeah right) using Galaxy testing tech - the Pegasus... I guess a general 'tech' test was taken out on various aspects on various ships over the years, but the actual Galaxy building/planning was when the registry occured. Compared where the Excelsior was TOTALLY new out-right - EVERYTHING was new/to be tested with her lauch. Andrew [/QB][/QUOTE]
