I was just updating my ship list when I noticed that I had put in an unnamed Excelsior w/ the registry of 4381. I can't seem to remember where its from. I think its from Relativity, but I'm not sure. Anyone got a clue?

Yes, it's from "Relativity". It could be seen in a drydock in orbit of Mars.
BTW, the rego is NCC-4301. There has been a lot of discussion about the rego (people claimed 4201,4281,4301,4381,42111 etc.), but I'm 100% sure that it's 4301. I used a magnified portion of a screencap from that scene, and ran it through an incredible number of filters and enhancers. It clearly showed NCC-4301.

Altair? *looks in thread* Where's Altair? I don't see Altair. I see Alpha Centauri, but I don't see Altair. (isn't it funny that they're both stars? )

IT'S 4301 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'll see if I can post my enhanced screencap; however, nobody can access my URL. The screencap REALLY, BELIEVE ME, says NCC-4301.

Hey, forks, doesn't the "Ships of the Line" calendar also feature this Utopia Planitia panorama with the NCC-42111/4301 prominently displayed in her dock? Is the picture big enough to show this detail? The scan available at the Pocket Books site isn't, but the original might be.
Look at the second picture: The 3rd number is definately a 0. The second number appears to be a 2. There are 2 'lumps' on each side, indicating either an 8 or a 2. But the lump on the top right is larger than the bottom right, even accounting for looking from an angle that can only be a 2. Also the bottom left lump is triangular, also indicating a 2.
BTW: I don't know who made these pics.

These are pics from "A Time to Stand" and it is Fredrickson I believe (the ship being towed by the mystery tug). The font they use is called Microgramma Bold Extended and the only number in that fone that differs in width from the others is the 1. The first two numbers in that registry are clearly 42 (to me anyway). I think the next numbers are 111 badly spaced by whoever stuck them on. If the number after the 2 is a zero, it's way too thin. It should be the same width as the 2.
