[QUOTE]Originally posted by AndrewR: [QB] Aban and Altair... I'm just referring to the fact that (yep they may have just been refitted) that the four new ships seen... have lower registries with the aspects of the newer Sovereign - I know its a lengthily debated topic - but if I'm going to talk registries - i.e. the Pasteur - I have to talk Steamrunner/Akira registries too. Its either - the registries a chronologically ordered... thus the Pasteur is quite an older ship in the AGT... future. Or that registries are assigned in groups and that if there are numbers left over once the original run of ships have been made - then they can use them freely... thus allowing for 'newer looking ships' to have older numbers. This also caters for the Constitution numbers... 1700 may indeed have been the first Constitution the, Enterprise the second and so on, say till 1705. Then we it came time to build some more - the production of ships that were around the 1300's had finished and there were numbers there available to be used... so they used them. This also accounts for the large jump in reistry numbers between Star Trek VI and Star Trek: TNG... This ALSO accounts for the first three Danubes... all next to each other. When it came time for new danubes - the 'registry appliers' then had the choice of using the next number 74600 or what ever (around the time of Voyager) or picking a number that had been unused previously... say 74515 (a random example). The probably with the turn over of the five digits - disallowed any new ships with four numbers... or like when you want to get a new telephone number - you have to pay for easy to remember numbers like 555-1111 instead of something more random 555-9813. Anyone follow that? Andrew [/QB][/QUOTE]
