Ok, i'm new here, as you know and most of you are having digs at me for no reason. why is that? give me chance.

anyway. so i presume you all know the 47 rule thing that is famous among star trek fans. well have you ever noticed it in the registry's of some of the most important trek ships? its there, just reversed. here's the ships=
uss defiant nx74205
uss valiant ncc74210
uss sovereign ncc74222
uss intrepid ncc74600
uss voyager ncc74656
uss prometheus nx74913

the 74***'s are just the numbers that they are up to during TNG,DS9,Voyager years.

What was the first NEW registry we got? The Hood or the Tsiolkovsky?

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.

Where'd you get the number for the Sovereign? For all we know, Sovvies are in the 75xxx or 76xxx range.

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. [Razz]

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? [Wink]

There are other hidden 47s:

Transfer the letters of "ARCHER" into numbers:
A = 1
R = 18
C = 3
H = 8
E = 5
R = 18

Then add and subtract them:
1+18-3+8-5+18=37

Finally add the first letter of Archer's first name (J).

37+10=47 [Big Grin]

The Defiant and Voyager regos fit the 47 thing:

Defiant 74205: 2+0+5=7 resulting in 747.
Voyager 74656: 6-5+6=7 resulting in 747.
