[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] Until recently, I was happy to interpret the ugly little ship as the first to have had an "Enterprise-class" warp drive installed. Just the sort of thing Scotty would get nostalgic about. "Ach, before the good old PB-28SP model, you couldna call them warp engines for real!"... The ship in that scenario would have dated back to the early 23rd century, perhaps the 2230s or so - that would have explained the TOS-style markings on her, and the TOS-like saucer-hulled design, and would still have allowed for some time to have passed, to justify the line "the descendants of the crew might still be alive". The Bonadenture could possibly have been the first ship to feature dilithium in the engines, or duotronics in the computers, or some other quantum leap in her propulsion or navigation capabilities that would justify calling her "the first". But now that we know that saucers have been a starship design feature for all eternity, and that the markings haven't changed all that much either, I'm willing to squeeze the ship in somewhere earlier in the timeline. Heh - perhaps even a prototype for NX-01 propulsion systems, dating back to the 2140s (again not the very first ship with a warp drive, but the very first with something Scotty would dignify with the name warp drive).
