[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Mighty Monkey of Mim: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Griffworks: [qb]After all, they might not end up needing 100 [i]Constitution[/i] class starships, right? If we went by your system, then all those additional registry numbers would go "to waste", so to speak. Doesn't seem terribly efficient to me.[/qb][/QUOTE]Of course, now that I think about it, this could be the very explanation for ships that have a lower registry number than that of their class ship. Let's say that SF commissions the [i]U.S.S. Baton Rouge[/i] as NCC-1600, and they build an additional 30 vessels in the class. The last one to be commissioned would be NCC-1630. Then SF constructs the new design [i]Constitution[/i], numbering the prototype NCC-1700. However, some of the vessels in the run are assigned "left-over" registry numbers from the unused [i]Baton Rouge[/i] block. (That's how you get the [i]Intrepid[/i] as NCC-1631 and so forth.) Maybe?
