[QUOTE]Originally posted by MinutiaeMan: [QB] "Court Martial," not "Shore Leave"...LOL! :) Well, it's interesting that even Mr. Sternbach offered the idea that the silhouette icons are just generic images rather than direct representations. This would make sense from Starfleet''s point of view, perhaps, because when you put ever-smaller icons on the chart, they're hard to spot. That's why most charts -- for today's military that I've seen, anyway -- just have placemarkers on the map itself, and then have a table on the side with the actual informative silhouettes to proper scale. (Besides, this was a Presidential briefing... I doubt that the President was all that concerned about whether West wanted to send refit [i]Constitution[/i]-class cruisers or a handful of ancient [i]Paris[/i]-class scouts instead... ;) ) Finally, from the Art Department's point of view, the just used the regular icon because no one would EVER get close enough to see it, anyway... at least, not unless a group of obsessed fans pester Okuda and Sternbach about it nearly 15 years after the fact... :D So me, I'm sticking with my original assertion that the ships are of different classes. The [i]Emden[/i], for example, could easily be a [i]Miranda[/i]... and depending on your opinion of the registry scheme, the [i]Ahwahnee[/i] could be either a newly-built [i]Excelsior[/i], or else a new-build [i]Constitution[/i]-class refit (or [i]Enterprise[/i]-class :p ) from the 2270's (post-TMP).
