[QUOTE]Originally posted by Peregrinus: [QB] First, to go back and massage things in the TOS-TVH era... The Cruiser class registries would go up by one for each new class, and fandom sources provided a rich and largely consistent pool of material to draw from. So not going too far back, we have this for the Starship class -- ships with 'NCC' prefices: 1600 -- [i]Baton Rouge[/i] class 1700 -- [i]Constitution[/i] class 1800 -- [i]Miranda[/i] class 1900 -- [i]Constellation[/i] class 2000 -- [i]Excelsior[/i] class 2100 -- [i]Federation[/i] class 2200 -- [i]Belknap[/i] class 2300 -- [i]Enterprise[/i] class (hi, Mim!) 2400 -- [i]Menagha[/i] class As of NCC-2500, all vessels would adopt the 'NCC' prefix. Newly built ships would continue to be numbered as they were ordered by Starfleet, and older ships of other types would also get new >2500 'NCC' registries. So now we come to the individual vessels within the crossover range, either in terms of registry or in terms of time period, that need either their prefix, number, or class changed to fit in. From TAS, the freighters need new registries altogether, I think. That suffix system never made sense to me. Barring that, at least a new prefix is needed. From TMP, the [i]Revere[/i] and [i]Columbia[/i] need new prefices. From TWOK and TSFS, the bridge displays of the [i]Saladin[/i] and [i]Ptolemy[/i] need to be considered to have at least different prefices. Not much problem, as the resolution is too crappy anyway. From TSFS, the [i]Grissom[/i] needs a new prefix, or else a new >2500 number. The time period of these three movies is when the [i]Constellation[/i]-class [i]Hathaway[/i] is said to hail from, with her registry of NCC-2593. The [i]Repulse[/i], then, with her NCC-2544 registry must have been laid down a bit earlier. The [i]Jenol*n[/i] and [i]Nash[/i] (that latter problematic already) also need new >2500 registries. And then, of course, most of Okuda's ships from those nearly illegible displays in TUC need a little work. The [i]Ahwahnee[/i] and [i]Challenger[/i] are perfect as pre-switch [i]Excelsior[/i]s, but the [i]Eagle[/i] has a registry more appropriate for a [i]Ranger[/i]-class Cruiser, the [i]Endeavour[/i] and [i]Emden[/i] should be [i]Miranda[/i]s, the [i]Springfield[/i] should be a [i]Constellation[/i], the [i]Scovil[/i] should be of the Cruiser class before the [i]Baton Rouge[/i]s, the [i]Constellation[/i] should be NX-1900, or else NCC-1974 should be some other [i]Constellation[/i]-class ship, the [i]Helin[/i] should be a [i]Baton Rouge[/i], and so on. If we want to keep them as the classes shown, they need different registries. Let me know if I missed any. Considering only two of these are seen clearly onscreen (the [i]Grissom[/i] and the [i]Jenol*n[/i]), the rest are very easy retcons indeed... --Jonah [/QB][/QUOTE]
