Constellation! There's another one! You see? Everyone finds it easier to think it's the class ship still in use rather than a new ship of a different class. . . THAT is what I mean.

Questions-
What is the defining line between class and variant?

What is the line between a severly damaged and a destroyed ship?

What the definition of "starship configuration" in the episode "The Doomsday Machine"?

A point of argument-
What is canonical and what is not canonical? And how much reliablity and accuracy can be given to the given material?

If a ship is similar, but not the same, as the class ship, it's a variant.

Uh, if it's in many pieces, and there's no longer a piece significantly larger than the others, it's destroyed.

No idea; haven't seen that ep in a while.

The shows, movies, etc. are canon. The tech books etc. are canon unless contradicted. Everything else isn't.

I'm surprised that nobody's mentioned the infamous Defiant length argument yet.

I feel that with the Sydney Class Jenol*n - that it is the spelling of the Jenol*n caves - after which the person who did the model named it - (I can't remember the spelling correctly - Daryus??)

anyway - maybe a naming system for sydney class ships could be Names from in and Around Sydney...

Well, the caves are spelled Jenolan, but the model was labelled Jenolin.

Warped: That one is too obvious to mention.

I have evidence proving the Defiant is really a 90m Ferengi shuttle.

Hmm.

There isn't, or shouldn't be, any argument about some of these things.

The Peregrines for instance. All the evidence supports Tom, and as far as I know we all agreed with him long ago.

Which aspects of the Peregrine/fighters are you talking about? And even if we all agree, we still need to explain things...

Actually the Peregrines are very nearly in unanimous agreement amongst the old UP folks. The issue is merely length, and whether or not they really are Peregrines...

1701: Don't go there.

-Different class names: i.e. Miranda, Avenger, Reliant, etc.

-Use of non-canon to support canon evidence

-Why my ship list is, and always will be the best

FSM:

1) Everybody (except you?) seems to agree on what's a Miranda.

2) The non-canon backup is a good point. I think we all know Frank, Tim's and my views on this matter. But definitely worth a mention.

3) No comment.
