<< I wrote to Mike Okuda about the registries on Starfleet vessels, are they chronological or semi-chronological? >>

Semichronological, to my way of thinking, at least. I've always assumed that whoever is in charge of registry numbers tends to issue them
chronologically, but does not always do so. There are some numbers that have been reserved, others that were assigned to projects that were cancelled, but might
later be reassigned. And other oddities that invariably occur whenever you have a big organization with many individual operating units. One reason for this assumption is the fact that the registry numbers for the Constitution-class ships in the original Star Trek series ranged from 1017 to 1371 to 1701, so they could not have been assigned in a sequential block of twelve. Further, if the Constitution was 1700, the numbers could not even have been chronological. Naturally, of course, there are others who have equally ingenious theories about these matters.

Hope this helps.

I hope you give me some sort of credit for finding this out.

Official announcement time.

I'm working on the official Forum FAQ. It includes everything from "How do I post a thread?" to "So what's up with this Capps fellow anyway?"

And some starship stuff.

Hm... Well, when he talks about the other "ingenious" theories, I think we all know he's talking about me... *LOL*

The existence of a FAQ was confirmed by Daryus way back in May in a thread I had on smileys. So there.

Great news, though.
Now I might be able to use this scanner beside me for something besides being my very own dust magnet.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, cough (ahem).
