[QUOTE]Originally posted by Ryan McReynolds: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by The359: [qb]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.[/qb] [/QUOTE] As Phelps mentioned, "Q2" (VGR) established that the five-year mission ended in 2270, not Okuda's conjectural 2269. While the [i]Enterprise[/i] refit only took eighteen months, Kirk was behind a desk for two and a half years, as he told Scotty. And later, Decker said that Kirk hadn't "logged a single star-hour in two and a half years." As such, even if the five-year mission ended in January 2270, the earliest that [i]The Motion Picture[/i] could be set is July 2272. Early 2273 is a perfectly logical choice if the ship returned in the middle of the year. Interestingly, I noticed that the current issue of [i]The Magazine[/i] includes the "Q2" date for the end of the mission, but strangely keeps [i]The Motion Picture[/i] in 2271. [QUOTE]Originally posted by The359: [qb]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?[/qb] [/QUOTE] The tech specs were mostly written by Alex Rosenzweig, collaborator on the [i]Avenger[/i] blueprints (and occasional Flare poster). It is almost certainly a reference to the [i]Surya[/i] and/or [i]Coventry[/i] classes from [i]Ships of the Star Fleet[/i], naturally. Incidentally, all of the names for the systems (RIM-12 phasers and so on) are taken or extrapolated from that book. [QUOTE]Originally posted by The359: [qb]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?[/qb] [/QUOTE] According to Alex, this means that it keeps the [i]Sao Paulo[/i]'s number and the reused visual effects in "What You Leave Behind" were nothing more significant than reused visual effects. :) [/QB][/QUOTE]
