    The USS Drake

    He made no reaction to it of any kind, it came from a fake, thus it is no data point at all.

    The USS Drake

    Enterprise consistently showed warp five to be in the 1500c range. https://st-v-sw.net/archive/TA-ENT1chrono.html http://starfleetjedi.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6329 Roughly condensed:

    The USS Drake

    Bingo. He was interested in the "is" and the thought that it implied, not nitpicking the fake Rice like he was on some nerd on a Trek tech foru . . . er, wait. Crap. ;-) More to the point, if a scumbag weirdo says he drove his {insert your favorite sports car} at its top speed of 10 miles...

    10 Starship "Holy Grails"

    I figured that's definitely the case in regards to the torpedo deck at the bottom of the neck that’s a pain to deal with and get the putty right, but it never dawned on me* that they would have painted the entire back of the neck and down the spine just to cover that little stardrive-to-saucer...

    10 Starship "Holy Grails"

    Ah, a connoisseur of the "War Galaxy", the "Cobra Galaxy", or as I call it, the C-type Galaxy. I would assume you've seen this: https://forums.scifi-meshes.com/discussion/10000948/captain-nikolayev-s-frontier In case that disappears, I also had made a lengthy thread here:

    The Lost Era starships thread

    Agreed on that last part. For older ship classes with higher registry examples, I've noted elsewhere the F-15EX is a great example for this. The US Air Force has basically ordered new builds of a 50 year old aircraft design for front(-ish)-line military use because it's cheaper and easier...

    Constellation Class Development

    Yes, something like that is probably the current official canon policy. "Prime" includes the Original Universe of live-action material as produced 1964-2005 plus other (previously non-canon) material added, then expanded upon starting in 2017's Discoverse (itself with elements based on the...

    Constellation Class Development

    It's not easy, I'll grant, but not far-background-impossible way in the background. https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Starship_Mission_Assignments

    Constellation Class Development

    Indeed. 1974 being before 2000 makes that very odd. (He could've aimed for 2100 to kinda-sorta cover for the 7100 of the yellow model.) I doubt that's even remotely readable. I disagree, but we could meet in the middle by going with whatziswriter from Enterprise who did the computer...

    Constellation Class Development

    Rather than derail the thread, I'll simply point you to the distinction between Original and Prime demonstrated here: https://www.trekbbs.com/threads/discovery-and-trek-continuity.296545/

    Constellation Class Development

    That was addressed six words after the part you bolded, but thanks.

    Constellation Class Development

    By Star Trek VI (2293 or so), observed starship status charts such as the "Starship Mission Assignment" chart seen on a computer screen still show the USS Constellation as having her NX registry, NX-1974. Registries are broadly chronological. The Excelsior is perhaps an exception, given that...

    Nacelle sizes

    I'd only ever heard that specifically regarding the Intrepid Class, but even then it was just backstage info. I'm not sure we ever heard of the Sovereign Class Enterprise being at any particular warp speed, much less anything 9+.

    Nacelle sizes

    Found the F-35 fan! (kidding) I'm aware that she's only really slow on paper, as it were, and that it's due to a few different factors. Her selection pressures are for stealth over raw speed . . . the faster interceptors and such were never trying to be stealthy, and could include...

    Nacelle sizes

    Good job catching this oddity. First, a little math support for your observation, based on my Starship Volumetrics page . . . simply take the nacelle volume, multiply by two, and divide that by the total volume of the ship. Doing so, and expressing it as a percentage, we get: Constitution...

    No more auxiliary deflectors?

    Big secondary deflectors that utterly wreck any chance at a pleasing bow are a pet peeve of mine. That said, we never really see any new classes after Voyager in the pre-2009 productions. The Nova Class (one example of which has the most ridiculous secondary deflector observed) was only...

    Starbase 11 registry chart

    You presume that Jefferies did both, but I don't think we can make such assumptions. The font between the two is different (e.g. the A is pointy in "STAR DATE" and rounded for "STAR SHIP STATUS"), and I don't think the number font is quite the same. The 2 looks different (less serif on upper...

    UFP Ship Classes and History with Visible Registries Only

    I've seen that Google doc before, thank you. That's a lot of work, and there's some good information contained within. My spreadsheets are more limited in scope . . . one has the ships from the various charts, the other classes and earliest/latest registries associated with them. I...

    UFP Ship Classes and History with Visible Registries Only

    (Note: the below features a number of underlying assumptions/conclusions, including (1) roughly chronological registries, (2) a pre-2009 view of Trek canon, and so on. As such, there is no inclusion of the Kelvin nor any of the Discoverse "Prime". I note this, not for argument, but merely...

    Fleetyards: how many is enough?

    I think I love this. It doesn't solve all the problems, but it mitigates them tremendously.
