[QUOTE]Originally posted by Bernd: [QB] Timo: Sounds reasonable that the ships were assembled for a certain purpose and not just because there were accidentally some parts from different ships available. Another suggestion is that the ships in question already existed prior to the war, but they were not in outer space service. Let's say the Curry was rebuilt from an old Excelsior to serve as a transport on a Starfleet depot. A department of Utopia Planitia or a smaller fleet yard could have converted several old ships in the same fashion so that the effort of rebuilding was worth while. The Centaur belongs to a real class IMHO. The Yeager is an Intrepid variant and has nothing to to with the Maquis raider, of course. We don't get a close look at the ship, but it would reveal (at least the *real* ship would reveal) that the engineering hull only roughly resembles the Maquis raider. Maybe the Yeager is the Intrepid forerunner, not yet with foldable nacelle pylons. The Intrepid/Constitution kitbash is crap as it is depicted. I am quite sure now that it's actually supposed to be the Voyager prototype built by Rick Sternbach. Rick is not quite sure, but a model built by Greg Jein could have made its way to DS9. I suggest this is a distinct class and has no hull parts in common with the Intrepid. The Constitution variant might be a tug or something like that. Since it's not built for high performance, the design might have survived much longer than the Constitution. It is possible that the tugs are actually rebuilt Constitutions. This should have happened around the year 2300, so the ships of this class wouldn't be *too* old. The three-nacelled Excelsior is crap. I don't find any argument for the third nacelle or the upside-down saucer. It's nonsense. DS9TM ships summary: 1 crap, to be ignored 2 "kitbash" quasi-classes 1 prototype (possibly a singulary design) 2 real classes [/QB][/QUOTE]
