Talk:USS Voyager (NCC-74656)

It would be good to have a few more technical details, at least the class of starship and how it is similar to and different from the Enterprise. Wesley

• Reply to above - I didn't originally write this article, but the first time I saw it I did some major revisions, which included adding a list of technical specifications. However, during a future edit, someone else moved the list over to a separate article titled "Intrepid class starship". (6/18/04, 20:37UTC)

New Technologies

"During their years in the Delta Quadrant, the Voyager crew upgraded their ship as far as possible using captured, stolen and purchased alien technology as well as technology acquired from the future."

I'm having a problem with this sentence, but I hesitate to edit it because I don't know a way to make it precise but short.

For example: In "Scorpio, Part II", 7 of 9 beams Borg equipment onto Voyager's Cargo Bay 2 before her cube gets destroyed. Later on in the episode, the cargo bay is depressurized and all Borg except 7 get tossed out. As 7 becomes more human, she still uses a Borg alcove to sleep. The alcove belongs to her, since she is still Borg, so I would hardly consider that technology "stolen." But Voyager did not pay for it, so it's not "purchased" either. And for some reason I don't think "captured" applies either. ShutterBugTrekker 00:31, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Is it unique that the Intrepid class can make a touchdown on a planet?

Yes; at least Voyager can. — Knowledge Seeker দ 04:00, 19 May 2005 (UTC)

Oops, misread that...I have no idea if other ships can touch down. Certainly the Galaxy class can't—but the Defiant can, if I recall correctly. — Knowledge Seeker দ 07:17, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

Sure it can touch down, remember the touchdown of Enterprise D? :D --Cool Cat ^{My Talk} 14:44, 24 May 2005 (UTC)

Of course, Coolcat is correct. I should have added that Voyager has the bonus ability of being able to take off from the planet while still in one piece =) — Knowledge Seeker দ 17:06, 24 May 2005 (UTC)

Propose move from Starship Voyager to USS Voyager

I am suggesting that this article be renamed from Starship Voyager to USS Voyager. This would be consistent with "official" Star Trek usage as well as other Star Trek ship names (for example, USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D), USS Defiant, USS Galaxy, and so on). If anyone objects (or supports), please discuss it at Wikipedia:Requested moves#Starship Voyager → USS Voyager. Thanks! — Knowledge Seeker দ (talk) 11:03, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Shortly after I proposed the move, an article was written on the currently-existing USS Voyager, so I moved this page from Starship Voyager to USS Voyager (Star Trek). — Knowledge Seeker দ (talk) 03:29, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)

USS Voyager should be a disambiguation page. You are right, there are many "voyager"s fiction or not, just like USS Enterprise. USS Voyager (NCC-74656) is the right format. --Cool Cat ^{My Talk} 13:34, 24 May 2005 (UTC)

I agree that USS Voyager should be disambiguation, but USS Voyager (Star Trek) seems preferable to the one with the serial number—in my opinion, that would be done for multiple Voyagers within the Star Trek universe. If another one were to arise, we could then disambiguate. — Knowledge Seeker দ 17:07, 24 May 2005 (UTC)

Recent Changes by 69.104.18.93

Today (April 7th) 69.104.18.93 made a number of changes to data points that should be indisputable facts (ship length, weapon compliment, engine specifications, etc). We need some definate source documentation here, so we can determine which of these numbers are accurate. Or, if conflicting offical sources exist, we need to find a way to reconcile them or present both sides. Doopokko 07:05, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Page move?

It appears User:Coolcat just moved this page from USS Voyager (Star Trek) to USS Voyager (NCC-74656). I personally feel that the former (Star Trek) is the better title, which is why I moved the article there from Starship Voyager last year. Any other thoughts? — Knowledge Seeker দ 04:12, 19 May 2005 (UTC) [updated — Knowledge Seeker দ 05:47, 19 May 2005 (UTC)]

Agreed, Use common names. - SimonP 04:58, May 19, 2005 (UTC)

Any other opinions? If there isn't any opposition, and given the comments (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Requested_moves&oldid=9194302#Starship_Voyager_.26rarr.3B_USS_Voyager) a few months ago when we were discussing moving the page, I will probably move the page back in a day or so. — Knowledge Seeker দ 07:22, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

Common names? There is a format for star trek ships. That should be followed. I already voiced my reason to move this page. This is the only Starfleet ship that is named as "USS Voyager (Star Trek)". Common names based on what? I am not renaming it to Spock, I am adding the ships serrial number to the article title just like other voyagers. --Cool Cat ^{My Talk} 14:07, 24 May 2005 (UTC)

I am sure the common name for the coast guard ship is the USS Voyager. I am also sure the common name for any ship does not include the serrial number, however its a standard to put a serial number due to the number of ships having same common name. --Cool Cat ^{My Talk} 14:07, 24 May 2005 (UTC)
