[QUOTE]Originally posted by Lee: [QB] Given the registries, the length (75-100m longer than the range of accepted lengths of the original) and the obvious elongation which can be used to account for it, the “Excelsior II” can only realistically be a refit. The most extensive one since the Constitution. Of course if we were to ask them about it they’d say no. Because, on a fundamental level I’m not sure they really “get” it. Sure that sounds like me gatekeeping, but there are plenty of examples in nuTrek where little easily-avoidable mistakes have been made. Do I care about the overly sequential registries? Not really. The idea of thematic naming hasn’t been overused, at least. The insistence of the STO class ships having VERY round numbers is stupid and just emblematic of the lack of getting-it on that regard. They also seem to have abandoned the NX designation. Do I care about that? Not really. It always seemed a bit nonsensical. Of the… four? … classes we ever saw onscreen, two were later changed to normal NCCs (Excelsior & Galaxy; I always rationalised this as, once the class is tried & tested & in production, it’s no longer really experimental, is it?), one was at least a true one-of-its-kind prototype (Prometheus) and… well, the Defiant stayed a NX so they could re-use stock footage, and continued to do so even after the São Paulo was renamed. So THAT exception to the rule can fuck right off. But what about the Stargazer being a brand new ship but called Sagan-class? It’s the Crossfield-class Discovery (and Glenn) all over again. Maybe the class ships in those examples were lost. Or retained as testbeds for further development. The new Stargazer - a new ship and a refit according to dialogue (FML), well, I reckon it’s a refit of a slight-older ship presumably with all that Borg tech added (which is a rant for another day!).
