Agreed. Since they named it after Archer - an explorer - I would definitely put it in the scout category. If it were a destroyer I would have expected something more like Schwartzkopf or Powell.I guess it might be considered a Scout, since they were there to observe the planet.
Xahea looks WAY too close to home, given its placement in "Such Sweet Sorrow" in Grid 07...which would be way out in the Perseus Arm, well rimward of most of Federation-known-space. And should Platonius even be known to Starfleet yet?Maps:
Perhaps named but not visited.
Would a 3D map of the galaxy ever look exactly the same when viewed from different points of reference?
A good review though I have to nitpick the nitpick, or embrace the technicality, as Spock would say. Space Seed did indicate that the Eugenics Wars happened in the 1990s, but also that records were fragmentary as well.A real clear picture of the Archer from TrekCore, great quality, probably from their press copy

Given the crew of three, I wonder if it wasn’t intended to be the tiny Archer-class scout of the novels at some point, the message got muddled and it turned into an FJ scout by the time it got to VFX and production design.Agreed.

And four planets.So Archer was the founder of the Federation and a president of it at some point, and gets a three-person scout named after him by Starfleet?
Given my dim view of him I'm ok with this.
The TOS way.
