I'm actually trying to figure out a system that accounts for all these ships without the necessity for earth to have upwards of 1200 spaceships running around in the early 22nd century. My current thinking is that the first digit denotes the class while the other two denote a particular variant this would allow a much smaller fleet since not every permutation would have to have been built, only those that were commissioned by whatever company or organisation wanted them.<br />The classes with an extra letter as seen on the "Up the Long Ladder" list (like DY-500[N] ) may indicate a special refit or overhaul made after the ship was launched or a specialied variant of that class, like a hospital ship or a tanker.<br /><br /> </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"> Very nice work there Rev. Which of those again are official/semioffical? </font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Most of the class numbers are taken from the "Up the Long Ladder" list, you can skip over to Ex-Astris to see exactly which.<br />As for the designs only the 100 & 500 are taken from cannon sources, the 245 (which I simplified to be the 200) is from the original Star Trek Chronology although as Shik has rightly pointed out it was reffered to as the 750 in that book (I'll get to you in a moment Shik).<br />Finally the 300 is taken straight out of the old Star<i>fleet</i> Chronology, the rest are mine although as I said before the later ships are meant to look like forerunners of Masao's Bison-Class.<br /><br /> </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"> Oh and I read that as S.S.

I thought it was just me.<br />Yes you are correct in that this design is from the original Chronology and yes it was meant to be a DY-750.<br />My reason for moving it down to be the 245 is quite simple; it didn't look like it came after the DY-500, it looked much more like an imediate successor to Khan's DY-100.<br />Of course this is because the model they used is obviously a kitbash of the Botany Bay design. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#A3B9CC"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Reverend</b> <br /><small>Member # 335</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(2002,10,22,10,57,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">November 22, 2002</span> <span class="timeformat-0">10:57 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 Aban Rune:<br /><strong> so... cool.<br /><br />I may have totally missed it, but is there somewhere I can see rendered versions of all of the ones you have done so far? </strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Yes, Bernd was kind enough to put up what I had done so far up on <a href="http://www.treknology.org/dy.htm" target="_blank">JoAT</a>.<br />That chart is quite a few months old and I've only recently started work on the proper 4-view charts so what you see is little more than a bunch of early sketches.<br />Indeed it's all very much a work in progress. <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
