[QUOTE]Originally posted by jesus X: [QB] Peregrinus: I can imagine. I should try my hand at one too, just for fun. I've been trying to come up wiht a nice Trek hobby-project for a while other than my handmade cargo-vessel (I'll post about that some other time, it's still only half done frame wise), and this could be it. As for the canon-nazis, it'll give them something else to argue about. :) When people pick apart scripts and screenshots for minutes and millimeters it drives me bonkers. Like the Wolf 359/BoBW screenshot autopsies, or ship-scale comparisons. It can be fun, but when we start saying every little detail is canon when half the time it's put on screen as it for only 3 reasons (budget, time, and dramatic effect) none of which are accuracy, it gets a bit ridiculous. The Ex Astris Scientia article on the Defiant's true size is much more tolerable for me because they depend less on what's on-screen and more on general logic. I think we could all use that a little more when dealing with trek, mainly because it is fiction, not a real future history. Scotty said the Binaventure was the first warp ship. ST:FC said otherwise. So that's two canon references in direct conflict. A reasonable retcon is in order. Either he was wrong/misspoke, or he meant something else than our literal interpretation. Example: Most people would say Henry Ford (or just Ford) invented the automobile, but that's incredibly innacurate. He didn't even invent the assembly line. He DID however improve the assembly line, apply it to automibiles, and thus create the modern auto industry. But he didnt' create either, he just made them both better. But now a hundred years later many people think otherwise. So, it's easy to believe Scotty wasn't 100% accurate with his words. Knowing what a technosnob he was, maybe he didn't consider the relatively antiquated Archer Warp Core to be all that good, and was referring to some other version. ;) [/QB][/QUOTE]
