Well the Encyclopedia finally gave NCC-42111 a name, USS Frederickson, though I was upset to see no classes assigned to the Musashi, the Sentinel, the Billings, etc and no registry given to the T'Kumbra. Why not? They had no problem doing it to the Wyoming and the Portland, etc.

I'm actually glad. This way we won't end up with the Raman situation etc. And many of the previously-unseen registries for the ships in the encyclopedia originally came from Okudagrams, BTW.

I'm glad they cared about this "minor" ship. I'm still sure this is also the one at UP in "Relativity".

Are there more new ship names/numbers? What about the infamous DS9TM kitbashes. Any sightings, except for the Centaur?

Seeing how there was no art and/or FX reason to even bother assigning them a registry, all that the Okudas would be doing for the book is randomly picking numbers and classes. There's not much of a point to that.

Unofficial sources say that the Fredrickson is Shelley Class. I'm extremely dissappointed that no classes were given for the Raven and the Centaur though.

Enough room for fan speculation left...

Aban: You're thinking of the Excelsior kitbash, which is supposedly called the Curry. The Fredrickson is the Excelsior in that scene.

Bernd: Fan speculation is evil! Sometimes.

Shadow, I stand corrected. My 50 lashes have been exacted. Come to think of it, I have heard that the Curry was the Ex. kitbash. Is that class the Shelley Class officially or unofficially?

Vanguard, sadly almost NO class info is given on any new ships seen or unseen in the new Encyclopedia.

Curry is supposedly the name that was used for the Ex. kitbash. "Shelley" was a name in wide use for the same ship, prior to any "official" word coming through.

BTW, is the ship Vanguard mentioned spelled w/ an 's' or a 'z'?

Entry for the Cortez lists neither registry nor class.

Found the E3 at Barnes and Nobles today, all in all, I'm more than just a little disappointed that my ship list will remain for the most part unchanged.
sigh
