[QUOTE]Originally posted by The359: [QB] I figured I should just put this in a new post instead of putting it in the existing once. After reading thoroughly through the book today, I'd like to point out some inconsistances and stuff that I think we need to address. 1) Constitution Class apparently was launched in 2245, same year as Enterprise. For those of you who believe registries are chronological, this screws with things. 2) Only 2 starships of the class had been lost by 2270. Unfortunatly we know Constellation, Defiant, and Intrepid were all confirmed as lost. 3) Apparently the Enterprise only had 2 phasers, stuck in a single bank. Now, if I remember correctly, weren't there other phaser banks stuck elsewhere on the ship? 4) According to the book, the Constitution Class entered refit in 2270 and was returned to service in 2273. Unfortunatly, this goes against Decker's comment in TMP that the ship had only been in refit for a year and a half. Book also claims the events of TMP took place in 2273 as well. 5) The book claims that before the USS Miranda was launched, a old class of frigate was refitted to be similar in design to the Miranda Class. Could this possibly be a reference to the Soyuz Class? 6) In the Nova Class section, the book claims that the Oberth class was first commissioned in 2290. Unfortunatly, this date is utterly impossible since the events of Star Trek III: The Search For Spock (which featured the Oberth Class USS Grissom) as well as Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (Which featured the Oberth Class USS Copernicus) both happened before 2290. 7) Commissioning date of Akira class put at 2368, which jives with those who believe registries are chrnological. 8) At the end of the Defiant section, it says the following line: "Another Defiant-class vessel, the U.S.S. Sao Paulo, was assigned to Deep Space 9 as a replacement. A special dispensation was made by Starfleet Command for the ship to be renamed Defiant, and to retain its original registry number." Now, does this mean it keeps the DEFIANT'S registry number or the SAO PAULO'S registry number? 9) Apparently the Sovereign Class has 3 torpedo launchers, even though the studio model had 5, and then we have the mysterious "6th launcher" in Insurrection. 10) The Intrepid class page seems to repeat the backstory that 4 Intrepid Class starships were launched, and Voyager was the 2nd. 11) Obviously someone didn't look very well at the Prometheus model. They claim the ship has 4 primary nacelle and 1 back-up nacelle (doh!) 12) Launch date of Prometheus is 2374, and it also has the NX-59650 registry. Again, another jive for people who like chronological registries. I didn't really read over the Alien ship section, so I have no comment there. [/QB][/QUOTE]
