[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Red Admiral: [QB] TSN- [QUOTE]"There's nothing to say the Ent-C wasn't commissioned with the first batch of Ambassadors at the beginning of the 24th century. Maybe the Ent-B was destroyed after only a few years in service." Yes, that's possible. What's your point?[/QUOTE]I misread. Sorry. I thought you were querying why the Ent-C might have been commissioned so early/quickly. So I speculated that the Ent-B may have had a short life in service... Woodside Kid [QUOTE]So what were the yard crews building the Excelsior doing for all that time? Taking REALLY long coffee breaks?[/QUOTE]Supposedly many design phases to get the Excelsior just right, ie, all the prototype Excelsiors (study models) that they chewed through. It was meant to be a completely new-tech ship - an experiment. They may have started with the four nacelle ship, then went back to two, built another prototype, it failed, built another... etc. 20 years is more than plausible. It may have been a similar process for the Prometheus, and a possible reason why its NX number is so low, because it hails back to very beginnings of the Prometheus project. When finalised and commissioned it was given, for whatever reason, a new active registry (hence the dedication plaque). It's one possible theory. [/QB][/QUOTE]
