Everything I've read and heard says it's true.
What's so wrong about having the -A?

Well, NX-74205-A would be correct, since it would be the second ship with that registry. I wish we could just forget about this suffix nonsense, though.

Okay, maybe you can have the registry NCC-74205-A. But NX-74205-A is IMPOSSIBLE!!
Every ship with a NX registry is the first of its class (maybe not the first FINISHED ship, but that's another story). You just CANNOT have both NX and -A in one registry (the Dauntless being a VERY obvious exception!!).
(Something tells me that I was better off putting this one at the Flameboard.)

So your saying when the Defiant would have became NCC it should have went from NX 74205 to NCC 1764-A?
Well, I think thy do this to remember a part. ship (org. Enterprise!) no just any ship. The Constitution Defiant was not very memorable, yet the Defiant one is.

Doesnt it seem like there should not be another Defiant? Since the Defiant has been in just about every major battle concerning Starfleet since its construction, the name should be retired.

Starfleet seems to have far too many ships to "retire" names...

So somebody tell me, what was the (*&!@#! point of destroying the stpid Defiant in the first place if they are just going to bring back the same damn ship with an A attatched to it. Wow they are really original. I agree with Altair: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I think the new Defiant should be named Defiant as a tribute, but not the same designed from the dedication plaque to Sisko's office. It should be sort of an "upgrade". Maybe combining some of the elements from the Defiant Pathfinder. Basically fixing the Defiant's problems and adding more firepower. Something like that.

I care about registries about as much as you do, I just keep it to myself.
