[QUOTE]Originally posted by Dukhat: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by o2: Sorry, but this does not make sense. The registry of the Tsiolkovsky was always NCC-640 since we now have the prove that this number was attached to the model. The fact that the registry was digitally alterd for the blu ray release in some scenes does not change this.[/QUOTE]In Encounter at Farpoint, the Hood's registry, printed on the Excelsior model, was NCC-2541. Later in the series, Okudagrams showed that the registry was instead NCC-42296, and has stuck to that throughout the remainder of Trek history. Same goes for stock footage of the Hood that represented various other Starfleet vessels. That stock footage may have had the Hood's name and registry, but it's not the same ship. It's simply a case of a changed premise, and it happens all the time. The Tsiolkovsky's registry was always meant to be NCC-53911 regardless of what was printed on a model that was reused from a previous production. [QUOTE]The registry of the Copernicus is therefore still unclear since a) the registry is not visible in ST IV. b) the registry could have been altered at any time after shooting ST IV and before shooting TNG The Naked Now.[/QUOTE]While that may be true, why would the registry number have changed between STIV and "The Naked Now?" What would have been the point? And why would the VFX personnel make the ship's registry 640 when they had the plaque information already? It's far more logical to assume that the NCC-640 registry was from the ship's use as background filler in STIV, and that the VFX guys didn't modify the model [i]at all[/i] for its use in the episode. Until Okuda says something to the contrary, that's what I believe. [/QB][/QUOTE]
