[QUOTE]Originally posted by Pensive's Wetness: [QB] [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). [/qb][/QUOTE]perhaps there's more to this. Lets think about the climate of the set, too. How much was the Art folks allowed to do, as far as making stuff? During the first two seasons was the FJ arguement and 2 Nassle law was placed. certain GR was putting a lot of lip into the TNG vision. I think one of the things to ask is that where there honest attempts at making new designs or were they told NOT too... and why? BOBW's ships were no made until GR was dead or no longer a active... well... hinderance? I actually feel bad saying that, that way... [/QB][/QUOTE]
