quote: Captain's Log. Stardate 47844.9. The Enterprise has arrived at Romulus and is waiting at the designated coordinates. All our hails have gone unanswered. We've been waiting for seventeen hours.
That's from the infamous online script; all caveats therefore apply.
If you want the date on the Judeo-Christian calender, I'll step out of the conversation...correlating real dates to Trek stardates gives me a headache.

That stardate is clearly a placeholder, since it would be from TNG's seventh season! If you're gonna dig through the script, trot out something modestly useful, like this:
---
PICARD: "Will Riker, you have been my trusted right arm for fourteen years [...]"
---
In other words, the year is 2378, unless they change/drop that line.

Gotcha. And, can we confirm that the Banana Phaser appeared in DS9 season 4, which I think was the season concurrent with Voyager season 2 (when a ship lost in the DQ miraculously acquired the new phasers)?
2378, my word. It only seems like yesterday it was 2370. Where does the time go? 8)

I assume he means the future portions of Endgame, not the present ones. He can work them out for himself.
Er, can't you Lee? Eh?

It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

In that case, make it 2404.

Talking of tricorders, I think the model makers at Art Asylum also mentioned that the tricorders had changed. I don't recall exactly what they said, but they did mention a larger screen area.
Though I don't recall the description sounding like the Endgame one. But then, that's purely subjective.

Actually, I didn't know either date - I wasn't sure about the actual year of Voyager's final season, so I had nostarting frame of reference; in addition, no matter how many times I've tried to figure it out I don't know how far in the future Admiral Janeway came from.
And I've just realised I've no idea when the Banana Phaser first appeared on DS9. Earliest image I have of it on that show is from "Paradise Lost," which aired Jan 1996, 10 months before ST:FC came out, and about a year chronology-wise before the approximate point in DS9's timeline that the events of ST:FC were meant to take place. So, let's say it first appeared in season 4, the season which did run concurrently with the Voyager season where they got the phasers. Simple, really. 8)

It actually appeared several episode into the fourth season, as when the Klingons attacked the station in "Way of the Warrior", Sisko and company were definitely using the older phasers. The first time I noticed the banana phasers on Voyager was in the episode where Chakotay spends time with the young Kazon (played by Aron Eisenberg/Nog).
On a side note, anyone wonder what happened to the medical tricorder? I mean the one with the big attachment on the end of it. Voyager never used it as far as I can remember, and there was never an attachment-equipped version of the newer one.

Hmm, are you sure? I know the Doctor used the little mini-scanner that fit into the end of it. Perhaps we weren't supposed to notice the headpiece thing was missing?
