But the highest number goes to the U.S.S. da Vinci NCC-81623 from the S.C.E. books.

...No doubt chosen to match that (erroneous) registry of that other well-known Saber-class vessel...

Anything interesting about the vessel in the e-books? Like, is she different from regular starships in some manner, being in SCE employ, or just the same-o, same-o? I'm looking forward to the paperback versions, since most of the snippets I've seen have shown at least some promise, and Keith DeCandido's involvement guarantees a couple of quality entries.

I read the first book last week. The first book is currently free at the microsoft reader site. From the book i get the impression that the ship is very cramped since Commander La Forge was told to stay in his shuttle for his quarters. With a crew of 40 that means they cannot even support more than that number.

So they are persisting with the 40 crew number (from DS9 TM) and the small size (~170m from the Encyclopedia), and ignoring the larger size (300m+ from the looks of the model or from the cut-and-pasted specs in DS9 TM)? Cute if not all that defensible... I've got a soft spot for small ships.

Oh, how do I get to read the free book? What is the exact site, and do I need to download something special or will Adobe Acrobat do?
