These ships were seen on displays in "Conspiracy":<br /><br />USS Albert Einstein NCC-85183<br />USS Atlantis NCC-72007<br />USS Callisto NCC-?<br />USS Copernicus NCC-58637<br />USS Constellation NCC-55817<br />USS Discovery NCC-?<br />USS Elmer Fudd NCC-85343<br />USS Endeavour NCC-39272<br />USS Equicon NCC-1988<br />USS Ganymede NCC-18457<br />USS Gremlin NCC-72927<br />USS Heart of Gold NCC-42<br />USS James Fennimore Cooper NCC-4077<br />USS John F. Kennedy NCC-85183<br />USS Max Plank NCC-28573<br />USS Minnow NCC-19585<br />USS Mustang NCC-85343<br />USS Nightwing NCC-8342<br />USS Non Sequitor NCC-12999<br />USS Omaha Nebraska NCC-5252<br />USS Puget Sound NCC-85343<br />USS Robert Louis Stevenson NCC-1281<br />USS Sherlock Holmes NCC-?<br />USS Ticonderoga NCC-87270<br />USS Tranquility Base NCC-19585<br />USS Tycho NCC-85103<br />USS Unicorn NCC-?<br />USS White Sands NAR-0002<br /><br />Two other ships were also seen that couldn't be made out that well; it was guessed that their names were the Aleq and the Matte Fringe. Also, some scans from the Spaceflight Chronology book were used in both "Conspiracy" and "The Naked Now," showing the ship names USS Muleskinner, USS Greyhound, and the Transport Diana.<br /><br />My first impression is that this list probably shouldn't be taken too seriously, as it's filled with in-jokes, a ship that might have come from the founding of the Federation that's still in use 200 years later, several ships that share the same registry number, and several ships that have numbers of 8XXXX, which would be way too high for 2364 if registries were chronological. The NAR classification was also a tribute to the National Association of Rocketry, something I didn't know before. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#E5EAEF"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Fabrux</b> <br /><small>Member # 71</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(2012,7,15,21,47,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">August 15, 2012</span> <span class="timeformat-0">09:47 PM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> Well, this makes things interesting. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#A3B9CC"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Jason Abbadon</b> <br /><small>Member # 882</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(2012,7,16,8,3,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">August 16, 2012</span> <span class="timeformat-0">08:03 AM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> How can some ships be in the 8xxxxx numbers while there's stuff like the USS Equicon NCC-1988<br />and USS Heart of Gold NCC-42??!?<br /><br />Maybe those ships are part of the orbiting Starfleet Museum and still ply the Sol system, giving educational tours and such to grade school field trips...<br /><br />Who the hell names a ship "USS Heart of Gold" anyway? <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#E5EAEF"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>The Mighty Monkey of Mim</b> <br /><small>Member # 646</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(2012,7,16,9,26,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">August 16, 2012</span> <span class="timeformat-0">09:26 AM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> Neil Young fans perhaps?<br /><br />Or...<br /><br /><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technology_in_The_Hitchhiker's_Guide_to_the_Galaxy#Heart_of_Gold" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technology_in_The_Hitchhiker's_Guide_to_the_Galaxy#Heart_of_Gold</a> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#A3B9CC"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Fabrux</b> <br /><small>Member # 71</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(2012,7,16,9,53,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">August 16, 2012</span> <span class="timeformat-0">09:53 AM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> Is there any possibility those leading 8's are actually 6's? <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#E5EAEF"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>TSN</b> <br /><small>Member # 31</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(2012,7,16,12,52,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">August 16, 2012</span> <span class="timeformat-0">12:52 PM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> "Space, the finaw fwontier.
