[QUOTE]Originally posted by Lee: [QB] If, as there's been some indication in the past, registries are assigned at a very early stage in an individual ship's development, then it stands to reason that the Enterprise might stay the 1701 even if it was delayed. Perhaps the Kelvin incident diverted resources away from the development of the Constitution-class, and towards smaller/easier-to-build/tried-and-tested designs; or perhaps they re-thought the design (well, obviously they re-thought the design, it's bloody different!) which caused delays - it's also a lot larger = longer to build? Or a combination of all those factors. I find it easy to fit the Kelvin into the design lineage we all know. Well, it has to, doesn't it? It existed before the timeline change. I envisage it as a Colony ship, used to moving large populations around, hence the large complement and rather uninspired layout. Remaining in known space it wouldn't need the redundancy and speed that twin nacelles might offer an exploratory vessel. [/QB][/QUOTE]
