Purely from
SotSF numbers, yeah. And assuming that each "class ship number" is sequentially followed by as many numbers as the specified class size would indicate: if
USS Daring is NCC-2394 and there are eighteen of the ships to be built, the last one will be NCC-2411. It works with most of the closely packed
SotSF numbers...
Although when he gives five-digit ones for the TOS movie era, I take unfair advantage of the fact that his numbers are not explicitly NCC ones, and decide that those must be NAR ones instead.
Does this list have your ships from your guide as well?
That was sort of the point. Thanks to the list, I know how many
Chandley class ships I can insert after NCC-2300 before I have to insert
Makin so that I can squeeze enough of those in before hitting the
Daring...
That is, I take those FASA registries that are explicitly mentioned in the publications, but discard the FASA data on how many of each ship were built because those figures are excessive in comparison with both
SotSF, FJ and the boundaries of canon. So NCC-2300 as mentioned for the
Chandley is fine and NCC-2309 and NCC-2327 as mentioned for specific ships of that class have to be accommodated somehow as well, but NCC-2392 must be part of a separate production batch or subclass because I can't have the
Chandley production run consequentially for a hundred such large and impressive starships, consuming a hundred valuable NCCs.
It's a convoluted undertaking but not a complete mess, although I've to come up with more innovative ways to accommodate all the FASA classes even when I pretend there are only a handful of ships in each class rather than hundreds.
