[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] While wear-and-tear is not a (big) consideration, the march of progress certainly is. Consider, the Federation expanded by leaps and bounds since the heyday of the Connie Refit as new races and their tech joined the melting pot of Starfleet. On a lesser scale, the Romulans and Klingons also greatly improved their tech. This severe out distancing between the tech standards of the TOS to TNG era (and the fact that we never saw a Connie on TNG but did see every other old ship design in service) leads me to believe that (like the Soyuz) the old class was completely de-comissioned or is, at most, serving with severe automation in "home fleet" defense for low-risk colonies or as the occasional trainer for private commercial intrests (i've never thought commerce was or could be under Starfleet's control). Taking the example of the DeMoines class ships "kept just in case", imagine some foreign power makes one uber-battleship that cruise missiles and nuclear warheads cant scratch: does the US Navy crew up it's obsolete Demonies class ships with able bodied victi...er....sailors and send them to fight said uber-ship? Fuck no. Thus, I speculate that, [b]if[/b] it [i]is[/i] a Connie refit, it may have been a civillian ship (even a passanger liner) that responded to the first distress calls or was pressed into service as emergency evac/hospital duty and got destroyed along with the others. But not part of the intended "fleet". [QUOTE] MY question to you guys is whether we should make this Connie a pre-exisitng one whose name we know, or make one up and give her an NCC in the upper XXXX range.[/QUOTE]I'd give it an old name and number, but something other than the "NCC" prefix to indicate a change from active fleet status. Didn't we see an Oberth with a non-NCC registry on TNG? [/QB][/QUOTE]
