Sorry, I know I said I scan the Dauntless MSD in the enc3, but I couldn't get a good scan with it. It's too small, and unless the image is a decent size, LCARS stuff like the MSD never show up good on it. I certainly wouldn't mind having a book of them though for all the well-known and even some of the not-so-well-known ships.

Ah! The Yamato registry...
Here is another one of those errors.

I am voting for NX-74913 as being the correct number, and the error being the number on the hull!

To quote Steve Pugh at startrek.expertforum.ricksternbach:

quote:
This one is:
(a) Higher than the Nebula class USS Prometheus NCC-71201
(b) between the Intrepids 74656 and 74705 and the Sao Paulo NCC-75633
and scout craft NCC-75227. Which fits in perfectly for commissioning
dates.

I really doubt registries are assigned at comissioning, though (Ent-D/Phoenix, Bradbury/Sutherland, etc.).

If they're not assigned at commissioning, are they assigned later or prior?

Prior would be the most logical.

I was wondering if anyone here is going to try to fix the Prometheus MSD?

Fix as in...? Personally, the only context in which I would use the word fix would be to fix a fan-drawn schematic after seeing the real thing. If you mean the hull proportions, they can be altered to match the actual shape more closely, but the MSD is not "wrong" because of that. It's just that Starfleet cares less about proportions in displays of this kind.

The registry conflict also has a reason. What's the pattern? In two cases, we've seen hull registries in conflict with the dedication plaques: a U.S.S. Defiant NCC 74210, as well as a U.S.S. Sao Paulo NCC 74205. We know that the plaques are correct in this case, hence there must be a reason for Starfleet to be changing them on the outer hull. Once we figure out what this reason is, we can apply the same to the 59650 of the Prometheus.

Perhaps they hired DS9's special FX people has their hull painters.
