Okay then.<br />The Ranger class entered service on Reference Stardate 2/1710 which in 'real' terms is slightly after TMP. You can see forward, dorsal and port views at <a href="http://www.shipschematics.net/startrek/images/federation/scout_ranger.jpg" target="_blank">http://www.shipschematics.net/startrek/images/federation/scout_ranger.jpg</a><br />Please note that those are NOT full size warp nacelles as the whole ship is only 87m long (w: 57m h: 21m). The crew complement was 77. The aforementioned FASA book gives deckplans of the three (or just three main?) decks in the saucer.<br /><br />108 vessels were constructed. (As with most FASA class sizes this is larger than other sources would like). FASA assigned registry by type with 6000 to 8999 going to scouts. It seems likely, though it was never stated, that 7100 to 7207 were Ranger class scouts. Though as FASA registries often skipped numbers the upper number may be too low.<br /><br />The USS Strider was assigned in the early-mid 2270s to Task Force 13 on the Klingon Border and was commanded by Captain Kristine Reardon. And the basic plot of the FASA scenario is that someone managed to order Captain Reardon into entering Klingon space and hence provoking a conflict. These events took place on Reference Stardate 2/1809 which is about a year and half after TMP or four years before TWoK (FASA dates in this period are hard to convert to real dates as five years FASA time are roughly 15 years real time).<br /><br />Is that enough? <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#E5EAEF"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>O Captain Mike Captain</b> <br /><small>Member # 709</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(2002,9,1,19,14,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">October 01, 2002</span> <span class="timeformat-0">07:14 PM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> fascinating.<br /><br />i disregard stuff like the 100+ vessels of each class, but info like that is awesome..<br /><br />BTW those ships are the ones that i saw dozens of getting blown up on a page of Knutson art in the Tactical Combast Simulator manual.. that artwork was amazing! <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#A3B9CC"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Mark Nguyen</b> <br /><small>Member # 469</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(2002,9,1,19,34,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">October 01, 2002</span> <span class="timeformat-0">07:34 PM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> Ooh...

Everything I wrote applies to the Mk II version. There were also Mk I and Mk III versions. The Mk I entered service in 2/1210 which is the last year of the five year mission and 102 were built. The Mk III version entered service in 2/2001 (either three years after TMP or two years before TWoK) and 54 were built. As the total number built was 159 there must have been some refitting between versions.<br /><br />That full page artwork of them getting blown up only appears in later printings. In my copy that pages is actually full of Defense Station damage tables which are one big error - the correct tables fit entirely onto the previous page, hence the huge art piece in later print runs. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#A3B9CC"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Identity Crisis</b> <br /><small>Member # 67</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(2002,9,2,2,13,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">October 02, 2002</span> <span class="timeformat-0">02:13 AM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Originally posted by Mark Nguyen:<br /><strong>Ooh...
