[QUOTE]Originally posted by Woodside Kid: [QB] Unfortunately, we're never going to be able to stop going around in circles on this question. We're stuck with a fictional universe riddled with self-contradictions, and we have been since the beginning. My favorite from TOS: how can we have a whole ship crewed by Vulcans when Spock is supposed to be the first Vulcan in Starfleet (and therefore, presumably, the highest ranking)? Trying to iron out all the problems is like trying to make a perfectly accurate flat map of the world; it's inherently impossible. Personally, I lean to the 71807 side of the argument for two reasons: 1) It's more consistent with the prevailing numbering scheme (i.e. 5-digit registries for modern ships). AFAIK, the only other Galaxy-class ship (except for the E-D) that we saw clear enough to get a good glimpse of the registry was the Odyssey, and hers was 71832. 2) The only other Trek writing credit the writer had was for STII. It is therefore reasonable to assume he was unfamiliar with the staff's ideas as to how ships were to be numbered (if, indeed, anyone had informed him). Other than that, it's canon versus canon, and since both the visuals and dialogue have contained goofs over the years, we have to use other sources to determine which one should be accepted on a case by case basis. I think in this case, the evidence leans more towards 71807. [/QB][/QUOTE]
