OK, I scanned in a crisp pic from the Fact Files (I don't buy it, but I'd thought I'd get it this time for the pic.

here it is, there is definately 4 numbers.

NCC-4301??

Hmm... the first two numbers are open to debate... the last two definitely are 0 and 1, but I would not call the first two "cristal clear". This has to be an OLD Excelsior...

I would say the first one is a 4, the second hm... a 8 (??), the third a 9 (??) and the fourth a 1.
I think only the first and last one are clear.... if you can call that clear.

To me it looks like 4201 or 4281, but it's not very clear.

I really wish you had compressed the image further. It's rather large.

It's NCC-42111. If you look at the first two digits, and then look at what you think is a Zero, the Zero is WAY too thin. Then notice the tops and bottoms of the Zero. They are thinner then the sides. Why? Well, because those are hull lines, not paint for the number. Also, the name still looks long enough to be Fredrickson again.

Also, anyone notice how unusually thick the "lip" of the saucer is?

I think your right, BTW is it my imagination or are those windows on the upper hull? I don't remember any other excelsior having them. (Just hit me if I'm wrong, it happens all the time

)

I don't think they're windows... the ship is ??under construction?? (or possibly being rebuilt)

Also that isn't 111 its two numbers... I guess I'll have to try and scan it again, but the last number is further apart than the 3rd and 2nd last digits...

Andrew

P.S. Does anyone know what this ship's name is supposed to be?? What was that NCC 42111 supposed to be called?

The name has a little blurry bit at the start and then a gap - the USS part.

then it seems to have an 'A' at the start and maybe at the end... (they have pointy tops)

I adjusted with PhotoShop for awhile and this seemed to be the best I could do.

It can't end in 111, the spacing is off between the first two 1s and the last 1.

The second number is either an 8 or battle damage they made just to cause this confusion.

AndrewR, can you scan it in again with 2400 grayscale?

The spacing is not off. There's a hull line running between the first two 1s, right up against the first 1, making the space between them look smaller.

According to the Encyclopedia 3 the NCC-42111 is the Fredrickson.

A suggestion
Let's reconstruct the ship and attempt various ship registries.
An explanation
Remove the registry and name.
Trace the hull lines and other hull features on the primary hull.
Then try each registry.
This may give an answer.
Am I clear?

takeoffs are optional; landings are mandatory
