[QUOTE]Originally posted by Dukhat: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by o2: [qb]Those episodes from DS9 have been produced/broadcasted years after 'A Fistful of Data's' has been established that the registry of the 'Biko' is NCC-59318 and furthermore that the ships from those two other TNG episode are the 'Biko' as well. We would have to dismiss at least the registry of the Cochrane as wrong since it is contradicting the already available information from TNG.[/qb][/QUOTE]Again, if we go by this logic, then the SS Tsiolkovsky's registry was actually NCC-640 instead of NCC-53911 (in the original SD broadcast), even though the former is the registry of the Copernicus (and the Tsiolkovsky was still labeled as the Copernicus even though the angle of the shots make this impossible to see on screen). Sometimes it's not necessary to slavishly follow what we see on screen when such instances were due to stock footage reuse. I find it hard to believe that, with the thousands of ships Starfleet has, that the Ent-D would rendezvous with the exact same Excelsior-class ship every time, simply because we can make out the NCC-2544 registry thanks to HD. Feel free to believe what you want. I'm fine with having an Oberth class ship named the Cochrane with a registry of NCC-59318 (especially since the casualty list backs this up even if we couldn't see it clearly on screen). I'm also fine with the Cochrane being the same ship that ferried Wesley to the Enterprise (even though this conflicts with my above belief about not seeing the same ship every time, but at least this only happens once). I'm also fine with an Oberth class Biko. I'm NOT fine with it having the same registry as the Cochrane thanks to stock footage reuse (if they were going to reuse stock, then they should have used the Lantree instead), but for now I'm content with Okuda's made-up registry in the Encyclopedia for the Biko. (In all honesty I'm NOT fine with [i]any[/i] use of the Grissom model at all in TNG, but that's another story.) [/QB][/QUOTE]
