I was reading the threads and I came upon an interesting fact. In one of the threads, Mr. Okuda had sent an e-mail which contained information on the ships in the encyclopedia. He wrote that the main entries were by him and were considered more authoritative than the diagrams and lists. I see this as a possible loophole for two issues we have discussed here before-the USS Antares and the USS Carolina, of TOS.

In the main entries, there is no registry or class associated with these ships. Registry and class is located in the ship list, a list considered less definite than the main entries.

I like this loophole. [Smile]

Only if you're talking about the first edition. Edition 3 Encyclopedia has an individual Carolina entry on page 66 with a drawing of a USS Carolina-labelled Daedalus Class, NCC-235.

Newark is referring to this post of mine.

I made a mistake in not posting my original message to Okuda along with his reply, as it seems to have been misleading in this area. In the context of the message I sent him, the "errors" are merely typos, such as the mispelling of a couple of ship names and the like. He simply was telling me that the main entries were more thoroughly proofread than the list. Not for continuity errors, but rather for mistakes in mechanics.
