[QUOTE]Originally posted by Ryan McReynolds: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by The Mighty Monkey of Mim: [qb]I'd say it likely meant that this was the simulator room for the class of trainees assigned to the Enterprise, as Shik said.[/qb] [/QUOTE] While that is the best explanation [i]now[/i] since we know the refit was still Constitution-class, it is very likely--certain, actually--that at the time it was meant to be Enterprise-class. [QUOTE]Originally posted by The Mighty Monkey of Mim: [qb]I think it's definitely been settled that the E-refit and E-A are Constitution-class.[/qb] [/QUOTE] Yes, after [i]Star Trek VI[/i] that is pretty definitive. [QUOTE]Originally posted by The Mighty Monkey of Mim: [qb]Which actually makes sense. The ship in TMP is the same vessel as we saw on the TV series. A ship can't change classes. Well, maybe in some fandom sources they can, but I've never been a fan of such ideas. Upgrading a ship, even drastically, does not make that ship a different class. Just an upgrade of the same class it's always been.[/qb][/QUOTE] In the United States Navy, and other navies, ships can and do change classes. "Some fandom sources" (read: [i]everyone[/i], including the producers of the movies) just assumed that Starfleet kept that method of class naming. Since Starfleet generally follows naval traditions, it would make [i]more[/i] sense if the refit [i]Enterprise[/i] was not Constitution-class. However, it is, and there's not much getting around that, so we need a different explanation for the simulator label. On the other hand, the label isn't any less canon than Scotty's blueprints in [i]Star Trek VI[/i], so one could make the arguement that the later movie made a mistake. Take your pick. [/QB][/QUOTE]
