[edit] Excelsior v. Intrepid class

Was it really the Excelsior Intrepid that held those efficiency contests with the Enterprise? Or could it have possibly been the Intrepid prototype? -- Harry 04:36, 24 Dec 2003 (PST)

Well, did the writers of that episode know that Voyager was going to be an Intrepid-class vessel? If not, it obviously wasn't intended to be the Intrepid prototype. Stating it was, would be kinda like saying that V'Ger met the Borg. --James Cody 20:51, 29 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Wait, how could the Intrepid from Force of Nature be the Intrepid-class prototype? The Intrepid-class were designed with variable-geometry pylons to rectify the problem that was only discovered in that episode!!! 24.91.43.225 01:27, 15 Jul 2005 (UTC)

perhaps it was first built without these pylons and made some flight tests with conventional pylons. Then, when the problem was discovered, it was decided to modify the design with new pylons, and the prototype was refurbished. Quite a large modification, but that's what prototypes are meant for! --Rami 14:08, 10 Dec 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Excelsior v. Intrepid, II

Shouldn't we assume the second and third ships in this list are the same ship? There is no reason to assume they are different. There is no reference to it being destroyed and the class existed at the time. Unless we count all the non-canon info under the second one. -<unsigned>

The USS Excelsior had just been commissioned, in which it had the registry of NX-2000. It is highly unlikely that there would be an NCC-3**** ship at that time ;) - Enzo Aquarius 23:43, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Isn't it over a year later? And either way I don't think it is enough to assume a new ship, we have no idea if they can change registry or not. I think a background note on any oddities would suffice. -<unsigned>

Sometimes, there just isn't a good answer, and we have to deal with that. --Icesyckel 02:20, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Removed note

Removed the following, as the article already assumes that the real Intrepid was doing that. Unless we want to discuss whether or not it was the same ship, it probably doesn't need to be there.

Due to the accuracy of the Species 8472 simulation, it is likely that this information was correct and the USS Intrepid was in fact patrolling the Romulan neutral zone during the time Voyager was in the Delta Quadrant.--31dot 00:41, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
