Back in the early days of TNG Mike Okuda decided that the Galaxy class Explorers would have registries in the 71xxx range. As time went by newer ships got higher regsitries, so the initial Danube class Runabouts got 72xxx registries. By the time TNG ended and the Defiant and Intrepid were introduced the numbers had reached 74xxx. And (with the single exception of the Insurrection scout craft NCC-75227) registries have been stuck in that range ever since. Maybe they reason they got stuck there is part of the great 47 conspiracy, maybe it's just laziness.

You forget Sao Paolo which was NCC-75633. Theoretically, they could already be up to the 76xxx range by now...and maybe a stretch to say they could be barely passing into the 77xxx range now.

NCC-/NX-74222 for the Sovvie is a myth. It was a rumour, and nothing more than that, but it seems to have pretty stuck. There's nothing definitive about it. AFAIK, NCC-75000 was more or less approved by Okuda for use in Starship Spotter

Ah, forgot the Sao Paolo. And if they'd kept the same rate constant I'd actually expect them to be at around 85000 by now.

Supposedly, the Saratoga's NCC-31911 comes from 3+1=4 and 9-1-1=7. Whether that was intentional, or something people came up w/ after the fact, I don't know.

Me thinks that they might be grasping at straws for this one...or are the PTB really that smart?
