[QUOTE]Originally posted by AndrewR: [QB] Yes I think that it was Jefferies' plane. Also that 1701 was choosen cause he discarded numbers that would have been hard to see from a distance so the eliminated, 2,3,5,8 and 9. He also suggested that 17 meant that it was the 17 class produced and the 01 of that line. Which sorta makes sense for ealier ships - i.e. 8** for the oberth and that the new Excelsior class was 2000 - so the Constitution could have been 1700... It fall apart - maybe when we get to 24 century ships - but maybe they changed the system... It sorta works - i wen't through the Art of ST and the ST sketch book - if you take all of MJ's designs for the Enterprise - i.e. all the variations - they nicely fit up with 17... this includes a TOS Oberth, Daedelus, Miranda and Challenger looking ships - i.e. those ships designs built with TOS parts. then there are two more 'modern' looking ships that could be the 1800 or the 1900 and the 2000 would be the Excelsior - which makes sense if it was started only a few years after the Enterprise - that is if they assign registries when they start the project... The excelsior I assume would have been a long time in the making, i.e. Transwarp etc. I also have a theory that after a certain number of ship registries have been assigned - the 'gaps' can be filled by newer ships... i.e. newer connies have 1600 numbers the Reliant was in the 1800's and the Sydney was 2010 - i.e. I'm sure there wouldn't have initially been many 2000 ships... so the 2010 was available to use - even thought the original line of Sydney class ships were the say 2300's or even the 500's the Jenol*n could have been built well after the first batch. This allows new classes to be kept close together - i.e. the Danube ships - and irregularities with older registry numbers being used i.e. the ships from First Contact - maybe they just used unused registry numbers from the 50000's... It also works with that Ambassador that falls within the 10000's either it was in the first batch of Ambassadors, or it just used an unused registry number... [/QB][/QUOTE]
