[QUOTE]Originally posted by targetemployee: [QB] Monkey, I accept your position that the term 'starship' has changed in meaning. In Star Trek, the term 'starship' referred to the capital ships of the fleet. 'Starship' in the later series came to include all ships of the Starfleet. When I attempt to identify a ship as Starfleet, I listen or look for certain indicators. In the spoken dialogue, the indicator is 'U.S.S.' or '(Federation)' starship. Indicators for visual identification are 'U.S.S.' or the first three units of the registry, ex. 'NCC'. For the Antares, I have only the dialogue to give status as to identity. This ship is not identified with 'U.S.S.' or as a starship. As for Mr. Okuda's encyclopedia, I feel that any reference material worth its salt should give the bibliography for stated facts. Many of the details of starships and spaceships are given without this reference. For instance, in what episode is the U.S.S. Adelphi identified as an Ambassador Class starship with the registry of NCC-26849? Or, another case, where is the diagram in "Space Seed" that allegedly has the name and registry of the U.S.S. Constitution? [/QB][/QUOTE]
