[QUOTE]Originally posted by TSN: [QB] Obi: Okuda says that's what they printed on the [i]Equinox[/i]' dedication plaque. Now, regarding the [i]Prometheus[/i]... I've just come up w/ a new theory. *glares at the people groaning in the back of the room* Anyway, I'm sure most of you are at least vaguely familiar w/ my theory about suffixed registries. Well, this is an addendum to that. Perhaps, when an NX ship is given a reused registry, the suffix is left off. After all, if there were an NX-1701-F, it couldn't very well be the seventh "NX-1701". Granted, the successive "NCC-1701-G" wouldn't be the eighth "NCC-1701" because of that NX thrown in, but it's possible that it's just one of those things SF decided to do. Anyway, perhaps the [i]Prometheus[/i]' [i]real[/i] registry number was 74913, its suffixed registry was 59650-B (or whatever letter), and the one printed on the hull was 59650 [i]w/o the letter[/i], because it was an NX. Slightly convoluted, I know, but it fits pretty much everything. The only thing unexplained is why the plaque and computer displays wouldn't give the 59650 number, but that isn't terribly significant... [/QB][/QUOTE]
