MrPsychic 1 Posted May 10, 2004 Anyone think when the USS Sao Paulo was renamed Defiant, it should have become the USS Defiant NCC-74205-A? It would make sense that the original Defiant become NCC instead of just NX since the class was continued. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jack_Bauer 1 Posted May 10, 2004 I think it was just a case of laziness on the part of the graphics people and the writers. Keeping the Sao Paulo as the Defiant with the same registry allows them to use clips instead of creating new footage. Most of the battle in "What You Leave Behind" is clips. I agree with you that it should have been the U.S.S. Defiant NCC-74205-A. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trekzone 0 Posted May 11, 2004 well actually no. The original Defiant was only an NX - experimental. The new one was a favour from Admiral Ross, so it should have been a NCC-74205....not NX-74205.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shadowfigment 0 Posted May 21, 2004 The crew members wanted to keep the spirit of the ship alive along with the registry number. It would have not been the same ship if the registry had the additional "A". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
