Which opens up the rather nasty can of worms that is the speed of NCC-1701, be it original, refit or new.

A few examples:

Original: traveled close to 1000 light years, probably in less than a day, in That Which Survives, and 1600 light years, probably in no more than a few days, following Arena.

Refit: capable of traveling from Earth to Vulcan (16 light years) in four days per TMP, and the E-A allegedly reached the galactic core from the Neutral Zone (minimum 19000 light years) in 7 hours.

New: Earth to Vulcan in at most a few hours in XI.

Neo-E is Constitution Class.


The Vengeance is something entirely new and different. At least that was my impression, I mean they certainly look nothing alike.
The specs above appear to be of the Neo-E.

So anyway, the Vengeance is the first of its class.
OH.

That's what I get for not reading. :lol:

Didn't Khan say it was a Dreadnaught Class?

Don't recall.But Dreadnought is usually more of genre of ship, like Battleship, rather than a class name.

IIRC, Franz Joseph had a TOS Dreadnought-class before Roddenberry got all pissy and invented the idea of canon to shut Joseph down.

Dreadnought is referred to a class of battleship that outclassed the previous battleship type.

So you could suppose that he meant this ship was a bigger and better version than the previous battleship type they had.

Or it's a proper dreadnought - an all-big-gun battleship with no intermediate armament.

I'm still betting on it being a reference to the Dreadnought named in the TOS TM.

Possibly those pop-up CIWS-like cannons we see on the Kelvin?

Also... (bear with me here, I don't want to sound too crazy) it could be that since the exact phrase Khan uses is "dreadnought class," he could in fact mean the class name of the ship is "dreadnought class."


But that might be too crazy. :poke:

Yes. It is a Dreadnaught Class ship, not a class of dreadnought ships.

Possibly. So there would be two ships of that class at least. Now off hand I don't remember how the movie presented the ship, if it was a unique one off or she was just presented as just a really powerful ship.

I wouldnt be so sure on the at least two, it was apparently a secret ship.

That being said, it did seem to be an amazing design and Starfleet would be stupid not to build it....

Which fucks over future movies as if the Federation has that... Everyone else is fucked.

And the E-Neo is now totally obsolete.
