Got a little bored so I decided to have a bash at some dedication plaques.

Thinking in funny directions tonight.
A possible explanation of the "RT" series of space vehicles, one of which is on the "Up the Long Ladder" list.

Going by my conjectural idea that All the various Antares Class ships are of the SUPERCLASS Antares - you could change that above to U.S.S. Antares
Antares Class

Like U.S.S. Enterprise Starship Class. Where all STARSHIP is a SUPERCLASS. Antares Class vessels may all be cargo type vessels of some sort. And not referring to their configuration, which as we've seen are all different.

Well I generally go by the assumption that this is Starfleet's Antares-Class and that all the other alien freighters are unrelated ships built by a civilian ship yard or company.

FYI, here are a bunch of quotes from "Charlie X" which show that (among other things) the Antares was refered to as being more than just a freighter or transport.

quote:
Quotes compiled by Ryan McReynolds

--From the opening captain's log: "Now maneuvering to come alongside cargo vessel Antares."
--And here's the ultimate proof, that I'd even forgotten! Kirk mentions that the Enterprise has a lot of entertainment for the Antares crew, if they wish. Captain Ramart responds, "No, we have a tight schedule to make, Captain. Just 20 of us; we're making out fine." There it is, definitively: the U.S.S. Antares had a crew of 20.
--Kirk jokes about the rarity of a "transport ship" not needing anything, even Saurian brandy.
--Charlie is dumbfounded when Yeoman Rand arrives to escort him, asking her, "A-are you a girl?" There were no women aboard the Antares.
--After Charlie destroys the ship, Kirk's log reads, "UESPA headquarters notified of the mysterious loss of science probe vessel Antares."
--Kirk considers the situation over a game of chess with Spock. "A survey ship with 20 men aboard, lost."

And that, as they say, is that. The Antares is a cargo/transport/science probe/survey ship with a crew of 20. =)

Thank you for that bit of information. I had always wondered about the Antares. Reverend, your Antares is the best that I have ever seen. How is the refit coming along? [Big Grin]

Assuming that the bridge and nacelles are of the same dimensions as the Constitution class... that is one big ship for a crew of 20!

Apart from the Science Probe line - the rest fit into the Cargo-ish/Transport-ish line which is what most of the TNG Antares ships have been.

yeah, how come every ship has to be a Constitution kitbash? a small ship probably has smaller components.

BTW, to the ASDB guys.. 'Maitanance'?!.. apparently Starfleet's logo designers don't have spell-check

We have finally settled on the Concordance Antares, refined and rescaled by Kris. The ship's saucer and nacelles are similar in their appearance to the Constitution class. Yet, they are not simply scaled down, as there are considerable detail changes.

None of which were starfleet vessels, save the Hermes which was never seen. Hence the conclusion that Starfleet has it's own Antares-Class that has nothing to do with the various civilian freighters that have been seen.
All of this is laid out on the Antares page, I think Bernd has been quite thorough.


Oh and yes, that is a typo on the Proxima badge.

As for the size of the Antares, I believe this shows the approximate scale.
While a crew of 20 is certainly small it should be adequate to run a ship when most of the internal volume is given away to cargo bays, science equipment and guest accommodation.

Ahh, I see know what you were all getting at in that Antares thread a while back. Nicely summarised.

So the other ships are 'Antares class' - cause the translation to English is also Antares (i.e. they named it after that same star)?
