[QUOTE]Originally posted by SoundEffect: [QB] I wonder if we're over-analysing. I grew up with the FASA notion that registry batches were reserved for certain ships of certain types. I then realized as I became more interested in canon Trek to see what was actually happening within only the context of the shows and movies. At this point I'm content with registries being for the most part starting small when Starfleet was founded and increasing in number as time goes on and more ships are commissioned. There are exceptions of course, but if you look through a list of the canon registries we know and isolate the ones that don't increase chronologically, there really aren't that many. From that I'm happy with the general rule that hull numbers are assigned to ships as they are constructed. I'm also happy with the few exceptions which are there. I don't need to know the circumstances of Grissom's comparatively low registry for the time. I could make something up, but that's just a small exception and I leave it that there is an explanation, but I don't have to know it. I don't bang my head against the wall everytime I see 'Brittain' clearly marked on the ship. I understand it's an error and just wait until the scene changes and 'Brattain' is shown written behind the captain's chair. I don't think there's a point in making sure the ENTIRE registry sceme fits. It's clear enough from 90% of the known examples how the system works, Do we need to justify EVERY exception?
