if they've said it on startrek.com i appologize....but really. why does everyone think the Titan is a Titan class, and not just the name of say, another sovereign for instance?

What you say is true. I think it is the name of the ship. By the way I heard the Titan was a Sabre class ship. Like they would give Riker an important ship

(if you can't tell I'm joking)

The rumor is that the Titan would have be in its own show. It doesn't seem a good idea for raitings to use a ship people have seen over and over again.

Archlite, Saber? Why would he get a Saber?

It's probably a Runabout.

The Runabout Titan, from Starfleet's irony department.

There's a thread about this on Bridge Commander Universe forums - the general consensus that was reached was that the Titan is a Galaxy-Class ship, although I've never heard of a Galaxy being named after a moon.

The rumor I heard, in conjunction with Riker and Troi getting their own show, was that the Titan was supposed to be the largest vessel the Federation had yet built. If true, that would automatically make it the first of its kind, and thus Titan-class.

I heard this rumor about Riker and Troi's own series - about six years ago. Is it being revitalized? I bet Sirtis is certainly up for it. And yes, they would have to get a totally new ship - we've seen plenty of Galaxys and Sovereigns.

I read somewhere the Titan was Prometheus class vessel... It may have been late though, who knows.

There is one main reason that I suspect the Titan will be a new class of ship, they need to make some cool new models for ST-XI for the time when the crisis rears it's head & it's just by sheer co-incidence that the only ship in range of the Enterprise at the time will be the Titan.

That will be about 5 minutes before B4 has a seizure in engineering & stands up 20 seconds later magically re-incarnated as Data... Sorry if I sound kinda cynical but trek has a habit of bringing back favourites...

Well he has the sum of all data's knowledge, but they did say he was a bit of a thiko. Probably find B4 hanging out at some cheesy bar drinking schnaps. As for the Titan they should make it a good ship, maybe a Galaxy or perhaps even a Sov at a stretch to the imagination, but surely not a new class of super ship. After all its his first command, there are far more experianced people to take command of a new class of super dooper trooper man I gota stay off of these pep pills ship!

I hope it will be a Steamrunner. But please don't give him a big cheese ship.

Blitzkrieg · « **Reply #11 on:** February 08, 2003, 08:04:36 am »

Thats a cool looking ship

Tannhauser · « **Reply #12 on:** February 08, 2003, 09:36:36 am »

I heard somewhere that it is an Achilles-class.
Anybody read the book and know if it said so or not?

StarTrekcaptain · « **Reply #13 on:** February 08, 2003, 10:03:52 am »

If you remember the last episode from ST:TNG Riker was in command of a ship with three nacelles. I think it was the enterprize, but i can't honestly remember, maybe that what ship he has command of???

StarTrekcaptain · « **Reply #17 on:** February 08, 2003, 11:12:57 am »

OHHH right ok. Just something about changing the series and story lines at a moments notice. I don't know if you have noticed, but since Star Trek First Contact (Which is on sunday afternoon on BBC 1, for all you peps in the UK!!!) the story writers, Rick Berman and the other guy, sorry i can't remember what his anem is, god thats really bad isn't it! Anyway, since first contatct everything about star trek has changed, here are a few examples, i'm dure there are LOADS more, but these are the ones I find the most annoying!

1, Zefram Cocram was supposed to of devepoed the warp drive at jupiter station, or somewhere in the solar system anyway!, and at the supposed date of First Contact, according to the STar Trek time line, we had already built bases on the moon and mars.

2, According to The trek time line First contact with the klingons was made in 2218 and not as in "Broken Bow" the pilot episode from Enterpise about 2160.

3, Oringinaly the first Draft for the UFP was made in 2161, but if that is correct then in one year, the crew of the Enterprise (talking the new series here) make peace with the Vulcans, and make first contact with lots of other worlds. And the way the Vulcans treat the humans in Enterprise they would never sign anything like the UFP treaties. But yet they are supposed to be the first world that joined.

Anyway, even though I love star trek, and can't get enough of it, i think its really annoying that they change the history og the ST universe because it suits a particular script or makes good T.V. Plus had anyone EVER heard that the Romulans settled on two planets? Or that their was another race like the Romlunas before Nemisis????

Thats it
