I keep meaning to do an update (with varients and production lists and everything) to my history of the Polaris that I did ages ago. Posted by Wraith (Member # 779) on J08:38 AM: She's bueatiful (like a boxer dog is, anyway).īTW, I'd think the Polaris is a destroyer or an escort and not a Frigate or scout.įor her size, the ship is really just engines and weapons after all. Hey! Don't be making derogatory names on my Elkins! Posted by Jason Abbadon (Member # 882) on J03:33 AM: I can't remember if there was ever a fan applied name for the USS Elkins. It's like calling the triple nacelled kitbash the Medusa class or Trident class, or calling the USS Curry the Shelley class (though I know exactly where that one started).

Nah, it's a fan name that started somewhere on the Internet (possibly these very boards). Posted by Identity Crisis (Member # 67) on J03:03 AM: I was certain it came from them.mabye it's the new RPG? Posted by Jason Abbadon (Member # 882) on J02:39 AM: There is a USS Polaris, but that's a Rigel class. There's no Polaris class in any of the LUG books including the PDF Ship Recognition Manuals. Posted by Identity Crisis (Member # 67) on J02:04 AM: im sure it could be argued that the connie-bash was at least related to the Hermes, Saladin or Nelson lines

Hey, Starfleet refit the 1701 so much that it was a different shape when it was finished, and still considered it the same class. Posted by CaptainMike (Member # 709) on J01:15 AM: Hermes and Saladin have only one nacelle. The ship's NOT a refit of anything because it has two nacelles on short pylons branching from the Torp bay in a kind of inverted 'T' position. Polaris is the name given to it by the Last Unicorn games books and it just stuck as cool. Posted by Jason Abbadon (Member # 882) on J08:50 PM: Please do not debate my usage in this thread. There is ample evidence to support each side of the debate of what the name of this vessel's class truly is. PS - I am using the phrase Enterprise-class to refer to the TOS movie era refit Constitution-class. Is this strictly an invention of a fan that was quickly adopted by others? Has anyone involved with the television series given the model this name? Is there a reason why fans don't consider it to be a refit of the Saladin or Hermes classes like the Enterprise class refit of the Consitution. Posted by Triton (Member # 1043) on J08:24 PM:Ĭan anyone tell me how the Constitution-class variant kitbash in the Start Trek: Deep Space Nine - Technical Manual became the Polaris-class?
