[QUOTE]Originally posted by Alpha Centauri: [QB] I don't think that saying the Bonaventure was the first warp-capable ship necessarily clashes with the events in ST:FC. The Phoenix was merely a *craft*, while the Bonaventure was supposedly a real *ship*. This is a real difference; even the TNGTM mentions the distinction between ships and craft: [QUOTE] [i]Smaller vessels with impulse or limited warp capability, such as shuttles [but can also be applied to the Phoenix, IMO], are referred to as craft, to distinguish them from the larger starships.[/i] (page 5) [/QUOTE]Although I consider TAS to be a 'real' part of the Star Trek lore, I qualify it lower than the other series, so I'd dismiss the Constitution-ish appearence of the Bonaventure, rather than saying that the entire ship didn't exist. I also don't think that it is an problem that the Bonaventure was already zipping around at warp speeds as early as the 2060s. It could have been constructed and commissioned even prior to the launch of the Phoenix. Even the TNGTM says that 'existing vessels were equipped with warp drive with surprising ease'. Perhaps even written with the Bonaventure in mind? Kyle: the Ficus-chart goes back to 2102, not as far as the 2000s. Mighty Monkey, thanks for your elaborate description, but I only wanted to know if any 'official' registries were available. I knew of all the ships and how they looked like. :) [/QB][/QUOTE]
