quote:Exactly, but isn't it considered canon now? It'd be like someone saying the Enterprise doesn't exist, Masao aside.
Masao never said Enterprise didn't exist. He said that he wasn't going to change the Starfleet Museum to reflect what was shown on ENT. That was his choice, but it doesn't constitute a denial of the existence of ENT.
I, however, personally feel that all four years of Enterprise was just a holodeck re-creation by Riker, and that the real events of 2151-54 were completely different. And no one is going to convince me otherwise

The background I'm considering has this Bonaventure be a research prototype for a class of cruisers whose design is tweaked somewhat in response to the loss of the first ship.

Looking at that... maybe the Bonaventure was a systems test-bed for tech that eventually was incorporated in the Constitution Class?

I,like Shik, enjoy Jein's Bonaventure as well. I feel it could fit continuity better than the Bonaventure in TAS(ie it could have been the ship Cochrane used to leave Earth and end up on the planet with the she-cloud). The TAS Bonaventure could be err...shoved into canon as the "first warp ship" of the Federation in the sense that it could have been the first ship developed with the combined input of early Federation members, whereas the Daedalus may have predated the Federation's founding and be an entirely Earthly design.
