[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] I like the idea of the design at first using Ambassador style engines. Those are sufficiently smaller to make the ship look palatable even if there are three of them. Perhaps the original ship wouldn't have been just a prototype, then, but part of an operational class built in small numbers to accompany the Ambassador class. Perhaps only one vessel would have been converted into an engine testbed for the Galaxy engines. But why would the registry of the ship change with the conversion? It wasn't even an NX registry, but a regular-service NCC one. If the original Ambassador-like ships were just a slightly more powerful explorer class parallel to the Ambassadors, and served with distinction, Starfleet may have tried to build a new batch with newer engines to meet the same role. The new ships weren't experimental, nor complete failures, but they were *relative* failures nevertheless - and the failing wasn't understood until the first Nebulas were introduced and shown to be so much better with just two engines. By that time, Starfleet had already NCC'd the registry of the newbuild Princeton, though, and perhaps even built her a sister ship or two. Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
