What would be a good way of dividing ship production into periods for specific classes? For example TOS 2235-2269 > Daedalus class and original Constitution class POST TOS 2269-2293 > Constitution class refit, Miranda, Excelsior, and Oberth PRE TNG 2293-2363> Constellation ------>New Orleans TNG 2363-2371> Galaxy---> Intrepid POST TNG 2371-PRESENT Defiant------>Prometheus

Sounds like a good system, but the Defiant itself would go in one category and the class into another...Some ships could be from a few possible eras, though (Akira, Sabre), so... ------------------ Elim Garak: "Oh, it's just Garak.

Well, If you were going to put the defiant into two catagories, you would change the catagories.I think Catagory Groups there are good but maybe alter them a bit to account for the first appearance of the class, i.e. the registry number of the NX vessel. Daedelus Constitution Constitution Refit Excelsior Constellation Miranda Ambassador Norway Akira Steamrunner Galaxy Nebula Olympic New Orleans Cheyenne Danube Defiant Intrepid Sabre Sovereign Nova Prometheus Data's Scout Hmmmmmmm there seems to be about 4-5 classes with in each 'bracket' ------------------ "All is full of love, all around you" - Bj�rk

Just as a side note, I'd like to point out that the only ships that we've actually seen with an NX regestry are those carrying experimental technology, so NX may signify that instead of class prototypes.------------------ "I consider the foundation of the Constitution as laid on this ground: That "all powers not delegated to the United States, by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States or to the people . . ." To take a single step beyond the boundaries thus specially drawn around the powers of Congress is to take possession of a boundless field of power, no longer susceptible of any definition." - Thomas Jefferson to George Washington, 1791

Or you could conversely point out that every NX ship ever seen has been the first of its class.------------------ I do indeed and shall continue Dispatch the shiftless man to points beyond -- Soul Coughing

*SPOILERS*My theory on the NX system goes thus: the class ship which bears the designation keeps it only as long as the technology is considered new. . . the first time it receives a major refit or upgrade, it reverts to NCC. Therefore by the time we see the USS Galaxy it is 10-15 years old, and just adding some of the refinements they developed, tried and tested on the Enterprise would add up to a significant overhaul of systems. Likewise the Excelsior. If the Defiant had survibed long enough to merit such a refit, as opposed to hasty repairs (Like after FC), it too would have changed to NCC.

I agree with the top except switch defiant with intrepid.Defiant used Galaxy class type engine system and the Intrepid used the new "bradbury" type engine system

Just thought I'd point out guys that the Nebula Class was introduced before the Galaxy Class, not after. The registry on Maxwell's U.S.S. Phoenix was lower than the U.S.S. Galaxy's. The New Orleans Class which obviously uses similar parts was also introduced prior to the Galaxy.------------------ "Resolve and thou art free."

Andrew: I wonder why you list Norway, Akira and Steamrunner as ships contemporary to the Ambassador, or is there another reason to group them this way?------------------ Get your free signature at Ex Astris Scientia

First One: well, people keep telling me I look a decade younger than I actually am...I can adapt to higher ranges of temperature than most folks in my family, and still remain comfortable. I have a gift for memorization and factual recall. I can go for fairly extended periods without sustained physical activity (some call it laziness, I call it deep thought) without growing too restless. I can eat just about anything. With an average reading and comprehension speed of over two pages a minute, I can read your average novel in under two hours. Also, I'm counting on various gene sequences to reinforce each other, allowing certain obvious strengths to have a cumulative consequence. Like, when two people of high intelligence mate, sometimes their kids are smarter than they are. ------------------ 'In every country and in every age the priest has been hostile to Liberty; he is always in allegiance to the despot, abetting his abuses in return for protection of his own." ---- Thomas Jefferson
