[QUOTE]Originally posted by MinutiaeMan: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Peregrinus: I mentioned the memo to show that while the 1764 isn't canon, neither did Bjo pull it out of the aether. Remember that at the time the Concordance saw print, D.C. Fontana was very active in fandom, too. I would be not remotely surprised to learn she was the source of the [i]Defiant[/i]'s registry.[/QUOTE]Gotcha -- sorry about that. That definitely does make sense given the other assumptions made back in the day. [QUOTE]As for Jeffries' registry system, yes I know it isn't the system they're going by now, but it is the system [i][b]he[/b][/i] was going by during TOS and is the system he used to make the biggest single piece of TOS canon starship listing data (the aforementioned wall chart). Rather than be an apologist for Okuda's lack of research, I'd rather say Starfleet switched at some point in the mid-2280s from Jeffries' system to Okuda's system. It is the approach that demands the least illogical revisionism.[/QUOTE]Not necessarily... for one thing, there's the Reliant. Also, there were no names on that big wall chart, were there? If you use Jefferies' system, and the fact that the Commodore pointed to the number NCC-1831 while referring to the Intrepid, that means that the Intrepid should be a Miranda-class starship! ;) [QUOTE]Additional: I forgot to comment on it earlier, but given the ships shown at >100% on the wall chart, I find it more likely to show the mission status of the Starships under SB11's jurisdiction than a repair schedule.[/QUOTE]You know, that makes a LOT of sense! I like that idea... [/QB][/QUOTE]
