[QUOTE]Originally posted by Dukhat: [QB] [QUOTE]That makes more sense to me. Its kinda what I was getting at earlier; the fact that the 800 people that George Kirk saved doesn't necessarily *have* to be the crew of the Kelvin.[/QUOTE]It may make more sense, but that's not what the movie implied. It implied that the Kelvin had 800 crew members. I mean, c'mon...what convoy? Where? And I'm not entirely sure why people are so antsy about the ship having 800 people aboard. Honestly, that's really not all that many. I think people are just equating this number with the fact that the TOS Enterprise only had 430 crew, which was ridiculously small to begin with. [QUOTE]Just out of curiosity, have any nicknames for the tri-nacelle and the "four" nacelle ship emerged on the internet yet? Aside from them being equated to the Farragut and Hood earlier, o'course. Is it worth trying to equate the tri-nacelle to the Miranda-class for example, or are we just assuming that they're totally new with no bearing on the Prime reality at all?[/QUOTE]They're totally new, insofar as they're not meant to be representative of any class we've seen before. Were they built before 2233? Possibly, which would imply that they were also part of the prime timeline (i.e. this Farragut would have been the same ship Kirk would have served on in the prime timeline, etc.) And the names that that model builder put on the saucers were just his guesses, not based in reality. Actually, the large saucer the Enterprise swerves to avoid was the Farragut's saucer, which was one of the Kelvin-type saucers from the "146" class (see below). [QUOTE]Well, I can't speak for the rest of the internet, but so far, the only "names" I can find for the ships around here are (for the 3 nacelled ship, of which there is only one) the "147" class (because in the chart a few pages back, those ships were labeled #1,#4, and #7), and the over-under ship is the "238" class (ships 2, 3, and 8), from the same screenshot. As for actual names...nada. I'm sure someone will coin a name before long though.[/QUOTE]Actually, that's not right. The three types of classes are the "238" (for the two-nacelled, two-engineering hulled ships), the "7" (for the three-nacelled ship), and the "146" (for the Kelvin-type saucered ships with two nacelles under the saucer). The Farragut and the Mayflower belong to these class of ships. [/QB][/QUOTE]
