[QUOTE]Originally posted by Commander Dan: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by The Mighty Monkey of Mim: [qb]Just like to point out that Chekov's screen in TSFS also reads "Constitution-class"... [/qb][/QUOTE] O.K., Actually, that is pretty good evidence that the refit-Enterprise is still a Constitution class ship. In the 80s, it was certainly undisputed by most (if not all) fans that the refit Enterprise was an Enterprise-class vessel. In order to “explain” oddities such as the one you mentioned, we would often rationalize that while the ship had been refit and updated, perhaps not all of the “databanks” had been brought up to current specs. Of course, that explanation is pretty weak, and I can certainly see how it might be more reasonable to presume the refit-E is still a Constitution-class vessel, as that is certainly reinforced by TUC. To be honest with you guys, after the publishing of Okuda’s Encyclopedia, as well as the release of TUC, I (reluctantly) began referring to the new Enterprise as a “Constitution-refit.” I was not happy about it, but I decided that I could probably accept it. In fact, Starstation Aurora published a set of “Comparison charts” in the 80s that listed the refit Enterprise as the following: Enterprise-class (Constitution II) Keeping this in mind, I came to use the “Constitution-refit” designation when referring to refit-E. However, I am most excited about the new “evidence” from the TWOK that establishes the “Enterprise-class” as being somewhat canonical. So needless to say, I am inclined to discard the “Constitution-refit” designation and revert back to “Enterprise-class.” I am, after all, an “old school Trekkie!” [/QB][/QUOTE]
