Just got done watching ENT season 4, and Trip telling the Captain "here we are, drinkin' to warp 7" made me ponder how little I know about early Federation stuff... what ships were there between the founding of the Federation and the TOS era? Was the Daedalus the new warp 7 ship they were talking about? And what about that umm SS Valiant mentioned in TOS as the first starship to cross out of the galaxy?

Well, remember this is the same early Starfleet that made first contact with a massive empire only four days away... Remember, way back then they used IMPERIAL units for days and light years, which were much longer than the days and light years we use in the TNG era.

And IMO, the implication for me is that the new warp 7 ships are the Daedalus class or one close to it.

Yeah I asked that same question as well.

I wish there was more info on the Daedalus class. I don't think it gets the respect it deserve.

What respect? You've got A Name, and then a barely glimpsed model that you can claim illustrates it. (And I'm not really suggesting that that isn't the Daedalus, or that the intentions of the production staff can't be considered when it comes to ones preferred Big Starship List. But really, its all pretty tenuous. And what's so great about it anyway? We just like the most the things we can't have.)

I just meant that I wish there was some more fleshed out info on the ship. Maybe I shouldn't have had used the word respect. And don't get your planets in a knot, I was just saying. [Razz]

You can use any word you want; your post just reminds me of the occasionally bewildering (and OK, not uncharming) attachment to very minor details. (Which then have a tendency to swing around into angry backlashes.)

I think it's ugly, anyway. Clunky looking.

So are *real* spacecraft.

You really think so? I never really thought any real spacecraft was ugly...can't think of one I'd call clunky, either...mayyyybe the Soyuz module...
