I do believe that we saw at least part of a refit nacelle. Last time around I think we agreed that a Constellation sounded like a good choice.

You still aren't getting the Saratoga right. This ship has to be practically brand new, since the previous Saratoga was destroyed at Wolf 359.

It's gotta be somewhere in the 70000s, and definatly not a Miranda class.

USS Centaur
Centaur
NCC-42043
"A Time to Stand"


For some reason the Centaur has always stuck in my head as a Renaissance-Class...unofficially

USS Olympia
Oberth
NCC-52144
"The Sound of Her Voice"


You might be right, I'm pretty sure I spotted a bit of Oberth in that wreakage...as well as a conni refit nacelle...oh well, another ungodly kitbash...

USS Saratoga
Miranda
NCC-51903
"Wrongs Darker Than Death or Night"


Way off, I'd say it is a Defiant-Class...just for the sheer irony.

USS Sarek
Miranda
NCC-48871
"Sacrifice of Angels"


Again, I think a newer ship is preferable. Perhaps a Saber-class?

USS Strata
Nova
NCC-65537
"Field of Fire"


The Strata was around in the 2350's (I think) so Nova class is out of the question. Since it was a geo-terraforming vessle it could be of a design we haven't seen yet...or it could be a New Orleans-Class with those pods adapted to terraformy type funtions...


One minor point, you missed out the USS Curry....which I think of (unofficially of course) as a Mediterranean-Class

The Strata was probably a more uninteresting, smaller vessel than any of the classes we are dealing with here..

and i like the Renaissance-class from the TNG comics better then a Centaur explanation.

Well, I'm going to throw my vote in and say that the Centaur is a distinct class...not a throw-together from scrap. I'm not saying it's Centaur Class...But the unique nacelles and other points make me firmly believe that that was designed that way and not just thrown together.

Looks mostly okay, but it is obviously open to interpretation. My site listings vary somewhat in places, such as I have the USS Sentinel as a Sovereign, the Destiny as a Galaxy, the Saratoga an Intrepid, the Vera Cruz as a Nebula, etc.

One problem I see, is that your registry number for the Constellation Class Olympia (NCC 52144) is much too high for a Constellation.

I'd put the Strata registry slightly lower if it's an Oberth, since the highest Oberth registry we have is 59318 for the Cochrane.

The updated list looks very good, but why do I have the impression that, if there will ever be a new Encyclopedia, the unknown ships will all be Mirandas, Excelsiors and Nebulas (well, maybe one Intrepid too)?

If you keep the Sarek as a Sabre class, then I suggest you bump up the number to the 60000 range to follow the Yeager's number. That's not to say the Sabre was around in the 40000 range. It's just that 6xxxx looks a little better.

I modified it a little bit. The Olympia is now NCC-9843, and the Strata was changed to NCC-51537.

Thanks for a lot of your input.

Your Saratoga registry seems a bit high.

Remember, the First Contact vessels all had lower registries than what many would think.

I would think that the next Encyclopedia would list the ships w/o registries or classes at all, since they weren't given any to start with.

I updated the list above after Ace's suggestions.

And speaking of the encyclopedia, one wonders how they chose the classes for some ships (Deneva, Yorkshire, Wambundu, Zodiac, Andromeda, etc.). Did Okuda just make up names for some classes, or is there a list someone makes before the show.
Cause I'm wondering if a ship like the Portland was Chimera-class before the encyclopedia, and if it wasn't, why couldn't they make up the classes and registries for the next batch of ships?
