[QUOTE]Originally posted by Dukhat: [QB] [QUOTE]Well, it is now. What Peregrinus means is that when "The Naked Now" was filmed, Mike Okuda created a dedication plaque for the U.S.S. Tsiolkovsky, with the registry of NCC-53911, and the class called the "Oberth," after Hermann Oberth, a famous German rocket scientist. Both Okuda and Sternbach were going under the assumption that the Tsiolkovsky model, once it was built, would be a newer class of ship (but not as new as the Enterprise-D). That's why the registry number was so high.[/QUOTE]EDIT: After looking at the Tsiolkovsky's dedication plaque again, I found another interesting thing: the ship was launched only a year before the Enterprise-D was launched. So really, whatever model Okuda thought they were going to use should have looked extremely similar to a GCS. At this early point in the series, Okuda probably meant for new ships to have a 5XXXX registry, and only later did that number get upped to 7XXXX. But instead, thanks to the budget, we now have a Grissom-type ship built in 2363. Talk about long-lasting... :rolleyes: What sucks even more is that the budget restrictions necessitated the use of the Grissom model, but two episodes later they built a brand new alien ship model for "Haven." So a one-off alien ship took precedence over a new Starfleet ship that would most likely get reused again??? (Yes, I realize that the Tarellian ship got reused as well, but that's not the point).
