[QUOTE]Originally posted by PraetorTom: [QB] I have never posted here before, so this will be my first. On the number of survivors from the Kelvin, I agree with some of you about the theory that the 800 survivors was probably just a large number to make his sacrifice sound more impressive. The ship looks like it isn't really larger than the Enterprise. Maybe the saucer section is a little wider, but generally comparable in size. Or, the theory of it being a typo is correct. Writers are only human and prone to the same mistakes as the rest of us. Though, as writers for a 'Trek' movie you'd think that they would have second checked their work.If these two are not the case, then why couldn't it be a military escort for a convoy? The Defiant was designed for that very role in DS9! The Kelvin would have been a great escort for convoys considering her abilities. Personally, I would give her a crew of no more than 300-400, as would be fitting to her size. As for the shuttlecraft number, this would appear meaningless. The numbers could have simply been the production number of that particular craft. It doesn't necessarily mean that they carried that many onboard! Look at the Kelvin's size. Not much room in that bay for that many shuttles.She could have been a replacement for any number of prior shuttles lost in service. They tend to go through quite a few. As for the size of the new Enterprise, well, I follow the theory presented with the pixelated studies done earlier in this discussion, around 300 meters sounds about right. The numbers are very close to the original ship. I have no problem with that. It fits into the scheme of the original series. Looking at the picture of the starbase, and it's enhanced starship images, this what I believe that I see... 3 starships with double warp nacelles and double secondary hulls. At least 1 with triple warp nacelles and no visible secondary hull. The other ships I am still scrutinizing. A great deal of what we see in things on screen is based on our individual interpretation. If we look for fault, we will find it. That's just the nature of things. Nobody will ever be 100% correct, nobody will ever be 100% accurate, and nobody will ever be 100% satisfied! [/QB][/QUOTE]
