In the Nexus, he was in the past at a point when he had retired. So the clothing he's wearing can't be part of that fantasy, or he wouldn't even be in uniform. So what he's wearing is just what he was wearing when the Ent B got ripped open and he got pulled into the Nexus. And he was definitely a Captain (retired) in rank on the bridge of the Ent. B.

Yes, he was in full uniform with the badge and captain's rank pin, but in the nexus, he had the jacket off, but he still was wearing his badge. Fortunately, there was no rank pin to be seen anywhere.

lets see. TNG lasted 7 years - the TNG films including the Enterprise-E have been 'around' from 1996 - Present, about 8 years.

TMP was 18 months after the NCC-1701 returned from her five year mission.
TWoK and TSfS take place within weeks of eachother. TVH is a few months later, possibly into 2286. TFF is sometime soon after that because Scotty makes reference to the comment Kirk made in TVH about "seeing what she's got" implying they are fairly close in time.

14 years between TMP and TWoK? I don�t know man, doesn�t really make since to me. Our characters certainly didn�t age that much.
The Enterprise-B launched later in the year the Enterprise-A was decommissioned I can see.
TWoK and TSfS taking place within the same year works, with TSfS ending in late 2285.
An additional 7 years between TFF and TUC i find hard to believe though. The characters just don�t age that much. Especially since the movies were only filmed 24 to 30 months apart.
Let�s look at the original crew as they age. We get movies released in the following years:

As to the age of the Ent E and how long they've been aboard, keep in mind that the E-E was already a year out of spacedock during the events of FC. Presumably the Picard crew was aboard the whole time.

TMP, which takes place 2.5 years after the end of Kirk's 5 year mission, was cited as being in 2271 by the Chronology and other "official" works because Okuda was going with the assumption that Kirk's mission ended in 2269. However, since the last update to that book, a line in "Icheb" (VGR) revealed that the mission actually ended in 2270, meaning TMP actually occurs in 2273.
Meaning that Decker's line about the Voyager VI being launched "more than 300 years ago" is bunk. But oh well...
TWOK probably takes place in 2283, because IIRC the intention of the production staff was to have that be Kirk's 50th birthday at the beginning. Furthermore, that matches better with the continuous "15 years" references to how long after the original "Space Seed" the film occurred.
Seriously, I've got some pesky real-life things to attend to at the moment, but later today I'll post a complete run-down on movie dates based on indicators within the movies themselves and how it compares to the oft-cited "official" version. Get back to you in a few hours.

Or 2272.
Or the switched calender systems and the years got mixed up. Or whoever said "2270" was an idiot.

Wasn't it always bunk? Or are we in some sort of alternative dimension where there actually was a Voyager 6?
-------------------- Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.
