quote:Originally posted by The Mighty Monkey of Mim: 1.) Wasn't there some publication that gave a class and reg to the Aurora?
NCC-C1200, Aurora class space cruiser, a class three small spacecraft.
quote:3.) Steve's site mentions a Canopus-class U.S.S. Antares from the Spaceflight Chronology. Is ther a reg mentioned?
No it doesn't. SFC features a Canopus class. I was hypothesising that the authors intended the Antares to be a member of this class, but the book doesn't mention the Antares at all.
quote:[QB5.) Have there been other regs (before Okuda) for some of the class ships like the Constellation or Galaxy or Intrepid?[/QB]
FASA makes the Constellation NCC-2500. Other sources use NCC-1017 (sometime with a -A suffix) or NCC-7100.
You may also want to add: HT03-23682 Kobayashi Maru KT56-43312 Astral Queen
Oh and USS Antares NCC-1820, Tikopai class is NOT the Charlie X ship as the Tikopai class entered service a decade later. It's a sucessor ship.

A small addition: The Yeager's first appearance was not 'Doctor Bashir, I Presume?' but 'Sacrifice of Angels'. The very last shot was the familiar DS9-with-Excelsior-docked-and-Yeager-in-the-background-and-Nebula-right-in-front-of-the-station-shot. The ship also appeared in 'The Magnificent Ferengi'. I'll inform you if I notice further appearances, next two weeks I'll have much time to re-watch all the old DS9 episodes. On word: Holidays!

No, Amasov, the Yeager's first appearance was in "Doctor Bashir, I Presume." That episode comes before "Sacrifice of Angels," and of course we saw the Yeager before the sixth season. And I've seen the episode and remember saying "What ship is that?" and then finding out it was a Yeager.

That's true. I remember seeing it for the first time in the background, way before the Dominion War had started. I remember thinking at the time that it was cool for TPTB to show another Intrepid class ship in another Star Trek series. It was only later that I took a closer look at it on my videotape, and realized that there was something not quite right about the ship.

quote:Originally posted by Identity Crisis: NCC-1701-B. Maybe it was listed as Alaska class in those fandom blueprints of the Alaska class battlecruiser, but in FASA the NCC-1701-C was a member of the (never illustrated) Alaska class.
Actually, though I don't think it is a FASA publication, I do have an image of the "Alaska Class Battlecruiser" which the 1701-C was supposed to be. (It showed an Excelsior for the 1701-B.)
It was part of a set . . . I didn't get the whole set, because a lot of the data about the 1701-D was heavily contradicted by the Tech Manual. For instance, the E-D was supposed to use "Ultrawarp", which was evidently something beyond transwarp.
I got it as part of an old catalog from "Intergalactic" something-or-other (their emblem involved a dragon in some way) . . . they sold a lot of sci-fi and fantasy stuff way back when. I'll see if I can dig it up and get a scan of it.

Ultrawarp (where v = c * w^5) was in the FASA TNG Officer's Manual and explained how the E-D could be faster than the Excelsior but use lower warp factors. So whilst transwarp allowe the Excelsior to do warp 14 that was still using the old v = c * w^3 warp scale.
I don't own the Alaska class battle cruiser publication but as it came out in 1988 it's probably inspired by the FASA book.
The company you're thinking of is Intergalactic Trading, still going strong via mail order, the web (http://www.intergalactictrading.com/) and auctions on eBay, Amazon, etc. They're a really excellent source for old fan and gaming publications.

Yup, that's her! Hardly the most attractive ship, but an interesting take on the idea of "something-between-Excelsior-and-Galaxy".

It's been a long, long time since I saw anything from them. Thanks for the reminder!

That episode was 5th season? That means at least 1 of the kitbashes predates the whole arc. If they started constructing them some time before the 6-parter, we may find the missing two ships in an episode between 'Doctor Bashir, I Presume?' and SoA. Maybe I should check them again.

The Constellation (of that class) COULDN'T be in the 7000s, as the Hathaway was in the 2500s somewhere IIRC. I've seen a 1900-something for Constellation (presumedly the class ship for that class), but that was an Okuda thing.

Yes, we know Constellation is 1974. And is the class ship. The 7100 comes off a model of a Constellation class ship in Picard's Ready Room. That model was indeed labeled as NCC-7100, but had no name.
