[QUOTE]Originally posted by EdipisReks: [QB] i also think that the prometheus was originally designed decades ago and then mothballed when the design wasn't practical. hey, we can use this for lots of things! [b]question[/b]: why does the new looking akira have such low registry numbers? [b]answer[/b]: it had a serious design flaw, and thus the original order of were ships put on hold until the design flaw was fixed. because of this, many akiras have low registries even though they were built in the "modern" (post TNG) period. [b]question[/b]: why do ambassador class ships have low registry numbers when some excelisiors and even mirandas have higher ones? [b]answer[/b]: the ambassador class was originally designed in the 2310's, but there were design flaws/technical limitations that made it impractical (and it was also unneeded at the time due to all the pretty brand new excelsiors). the ship was set aside until the 2330's when tech could make such a large ship practical, but the original order still bore registries from the 2310's. everything, especially stuff like this, can be explained in a way that keeps all of the "if it's seen clearly on the screen then it is good enough for john q. nielsen" crap without going all the way to the "the enterprise had a huge rubber duckie in case they ever needed to give a bubble bath to a giant" crap. --jacob [/QB][/QUOTE]
