[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] Interestingly, if we assume that the NAR numbers run separately from NCC numbers, then the difference between the ferry in ST6 (NAR-20000 or thereabouts) and the Raven is surprisingly small. In NCC-registered vessels, a difference of just 10000 numbers seldom indicates a major difference in construction and design philosophy. Yet the ST6 ferry seems "basic" enough, almost TOS-like in its simplicity (save for the miniature Galaxy class nacelles in its belly!), while the Raven has many Voyageresque and Danubesque features: the design of her deflectors is only seen in the Voyager and her type 9 shuttles plus the Delta Flier, while the cargo hold arrangement, the cockpit windows and the overall design are very Danube-like. Are NAR ships built in such low numbers in comparison to NCC ships that a 2280s-90s design and a 2350s one can get nearly matching NAR registries? Are NARs perhaps allocated so that every number from 1 to n is used, while NCCs regularly skip numbers? One could use this as an argument against separate NCC and NAR numbers. Then again, one could also argue that a 32000-range registry cannot describe a ship with Intrepid and Danube features, which are usually associated with NCCs in the 72000+ range, so NCC and NAR numbers [i]must[/i] be separate!
