[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Mighty Monkey of Mim: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [qb]And even the original source of the FJ ship, namely his manual, insists that the "Constitution class" (or Class IX Heavy Cruiser) starships were produced in several time-separated batches. So it's not at all objectionable IMHO to take this as an implicit permission to treat FJ's NCC-1700 as a "variant" instead of a "poor representation of the original".[/qb][/QUOTE]Exactly. Even if the fandom interpretations of the variant/refit/subclass sequence from Ships of the Star Fleet, etc, aren't the precise way it really happened, it's obvious that there was [i]some[/i] kind of progressive variation in the design of the Constitution class. This much is clearly evident from onscreen evidence. Think about it: If there were three different versions ("The Cage," "Where No Man Has Gone Before," and the rest of the show) of the Connie in the time leading up to TOS, and there were later several major refit-configurations (TMP, TNG Brahms' desktop ship, and the DS9 TM ship) then why couldn't Joseph's version (or version[i]s[/i], considering the drawings in the Manual and his NCC-1700 blueprints are slightly different) fit in as well. After all, it too was seen onscreen in both the movies (TMP and TSFS) and in TNG. ("Datalore") -[b]FtK[/b] [IMG]http://lobotomy.pleh.net/~flareupload/uploads/646/felixthekzin.gif[/IMG] P.S. How about my new handle? :) [/QB][/QUOTE]
