1. The death toll given for the RMS Titantic is 1200. This doesn't match with the historical death toll-1500.

2. The name of the Steamrunner Class starship in the ship chart is now USS Appalacia. The original name of this ship is the USS Hiroshima.

Was Appalacia not written on the diagram in the Encyclopedia 2?

Woah...he's right.

Look at the (defective) ship scaling chart in the back. In the E2, the Steamrunner is listed as the Hiroshima. In the E3 (or 2.5), it's the Appalachia, as with everywhere else (like the ship list, Steamrunner entry, etc.).

If they could make changes to the pre-existing material, couldn't they have, say, turned a certain ship right-side up?

And does the Hiroshima exist? Anyone up for writing a SWDAO entry?

"Year of Hell" Tom was making some modifications similar to the Titanic or something.

Yes, the wide-scale-breach-perventing bulkheads. Or whatever.

The only place in the Encyclopedia 2 that the Steamrunner from First Contact is listed as the Hiroshima is in the starship comparison chart at the back, anyway. All other entries list it was the Appalacia.

I know it sounds totally dense guys, but what is SWDAO? I've readit before but have no clue...

Regarding the Steamrunners (by the by, anyone know where that name came from?), I think it is generally accepted that both the Hiroshima and the Appalachia are Steamrunner class ships and were possibly both at the Borg incursion in First Contact.

SWDAO (Stuff we Don't Agree On, or, more grammatically correct, Stuff on Which We Don't Agree) was organised by Frank and can be found here.
