This registry is completely out of range, even if it is taken into account that building a prototype takes considerably longer than a series production ship. There have been several theories about the Prometheus registry, one of the most promising being that the ship had been approved of and given a registry years before the project actually started. The ship was given its name probably in honor of the Nebula class USS Prometheus which almost definitely must have been destroyed, most likely in the Dominion War.<P>The situation has changed with the 3rd edition of the Star Trek Encyclopedia that depicts the MSD and dedication plaque, both images showing NCC-74913. While this registry perfectly suits a ship being new as of 2374, this number was never shown on screen, as opposed to NX-59650. Following a strict definition of canon, the latter number would be still the only correct one.<P>Both numbers might be included in one theory if we assume the registry has been changed some time after "Message in a Bottle". Maybe the old number was meant to conceal the real age of the ship, but, in this case it wouldn't have been a good idea to use the prefix "NX", representing an experimental ship. Moreover, the possible enemies of the Federation should have been aware this is one ship type they don't know and therefore highly likely a most recent one, rather than relying on the registry which is rather meant as a scheme for internal Starfleet use.<P>------------------<BR>Get your free signature at <A HREF="http://www.uni-siegen.de/~ihe/bs/startrek/" TARGET=_blank>Ex Astris Scientia</A> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#A3B9CC"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Bernd</b> <br /><small>Member # 6</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(1999,8,29,6,1,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">September 29, 1999</span> <span class="timeformat-0">06:01 AM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> The plaque was mentioned at<BR>startrek.expertforum.ricksternbach<P>Some got an E3 and a scanner?<P>------------------<BR>Get your free signature at <A HREF="http://www.uni-siegen.de/~ihe/bs/startrek/" TARGET=_blank>Ex Astris Scientia</A> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#E5EAEF"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Michael Dracon</b> <br /><small>Member # 4</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(1999,8,29,6,8,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">September 29, 1999</span> <span class="timeformat-0">06:08 AM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> I posted it there <IMG SRC="http://flare.solareclipse.net/smile.gif"><P>Is it NX-74913 or NCC-74913 ???? <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#A3B9CC"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>The First One</b> <br /><small>Member # 35</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(1999,8,29,6,15,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">September 29, 1999</span> <span class="timeformat-0">06:15 AM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> That makes it the highest registry we've ever seen, not bad for a ship that was obviously a prototype. � )<P>How about. . . the primary hull was taken off another vessel?

Personally, the only context in which I would use the word fix would be to fix a fan-drawn schematic after seeing the real thing. If you mean the hull proportions, they can be altered to match the actual shape more closely, but the MSD is not "wrong" because of that. It's just that Starfleet cares less about proportions in displays of this kind.<P>The registry conflict also has a reason. What's the pattern? In two cases, we've seen hull registries in conflict with the dedication plaques: a U.S.S. Defiant NCC 74210, as well as a U.S.S. Sao Paulo NCC 74205. We know that the plaques are correct in this case, hence there must be a reason for Starfleet to be changing them on the outer hull. Once we figure out what this reason is, we can apply the same to the 59650 of the Prometheus.<P>Boris<p>[This message has been edited by Boris (edited October 03, 1999).] <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#E5EAEF"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Hobbes</b> <br /><small>Member # 138</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(1999,9,3,15,20,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">October 03, 1999</span> <span class="timeformat-0">03:20 PM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif">quote:</font><HR>"...hence there must be a reason for Starfleet to be changing them on the outer hull."<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Perhaps they hired DS9's special FX people has their hull painters.<P>------------------<BR>"The keyboard, how quaint."<BR><A HREF="http://members.tripod.com/thefsd" TARGET=_blank>Federation Starship Datalink</A> - Starship site of the new millennium.<BR> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#A3B9CC"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Mikey T</b> <br /><small>Member # 144</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(1999,9,4,4,36,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">October 04, 1999</span> <span class="timeformat-0">04:36 AM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> I think they did...<P>------------------<BR>"All you people, can't you see, can't you see<BR>How your love's affecting our reality<BR>Everytime we're down<BR>You can make it right<BR>And that makes you larger than life"<P>-Backstreet Boys <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#E5EAEF"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Starbuck</b> <br /><small>Member # 153</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(1999,9,4,5,40,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">October 04, 1999</span> <span class="timeformat-0">05:40 AM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> Er...
