[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Mighty Monkey of Mim: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Dukhat: [qb]I don't know why you guys are getting so bent out of shape over this. All you have to do is think like an Enterprise TPTB. In some third-rate TNG episode produced back in 1993 or whatever, Data mentions an old Starfleet vessel from the early days of the Federation, U.S.S. Essex, NCC-173, and says it was a Daedalus class vessel. Later, Greg Jein, in an effort to make Sisko's office more decorative, builts a small model of a ship referred to in a TOS episode, the U.S.S. Horizon, and makes up a registry number for it, NCC-176. Although Okuda conjectures that this model represents the same class as the Essex, [b]nowhere on the model does it say that the ship is a Daedalus class vessel[/b]. So canonically, there's no evidence that this model is of that class. Furthermore, TPTB probably know nothing of this model, or the name "Daedalus class," unless Okuda shows them his Encyclopedia as MMOM said. However, TPTB will then say "thanks for the help, Mike, but we really think we'll be doing things our way from now on, & since this model looks really cheesy and boring, if we ever do make another Starfleet vessel, it'll be much cooler looking. But please leave your book here, it might be interesting reading someday." Upon which, once Okuda walks away, they file his book in the "circular file" (i.e. garbage can).[/qb][/QUOTE]I disagree with your portrayal of how TPTB would think. 1. They'd [b]never[/b] just "remember" the mention of the Daedalus in "Power Play." They don't care about little details like that. No one going to jump up and say "Hey, remember when that one ship was mentioned in TNG?" If the ship comes to their attention, it will be through the Encyclopedia or Mike Okuda or Greg Jein, etc. they won't think of it themselves. 2. When they do look in the Encyclopedia, etc., they're just going to take what's in there for granted. They're not going to go "Hmmm, I wonder if this ship ever actually appeared in the show..." They're just going to assume it. 3. If they do decide they want a re-design, it will propbably just be (as Capt. Mike said) on thorder of what they did with the Phoenix. Same overall layout, just different detailing. -[b]MMoM[/b] :D [/QB][/QUOTE]
