    Oh. So that eplains it then. Fair enough. rename the Old avenger skin Sentinal. but if this was real & not a game that would never happen. LOL.

    Actually that exact thing did once happen. The USS Constellation of 1854 (successor of the Constellation of the Six Frigates fame) remained in commission for such a long time after it was outdated that the Navy basically forgot about it until they wanted to name one of their new Lexington class Battlecruisers USS Constellation CC-2 and someone told them the name was already taken (can't have two ships with the same name). So they renamed the USS Constellation of 1854 the USS Old Constellation (I'm not making this up) so the could call the new Battlecruiser USS Constellation. Well WWI happened and Battlecruisers became not as important as escort ships so all six of the Lexington class Battlecruisers sat there until the Washington Naval Treaty called for them to be scrapped (during WWI the Old Constellation served as a training ship making it somewhat more useful than a half built Battlecruiser). Four were scrapped while Lexington and Saratoga got saved by being converted in to Aircraft Carriers. So with no Battlecruiser to take the name USS Old Constellation became USS Constellation again until 1955 when the Navy decommissioned her for the last time and moved the name on to the aircraft carrier USS Constellation CV-64. "Old" Constellation is still down in Baltimore, the carrier Constellation is in storage in Bermerton awaiting scrapping.
    My Romulan Liberated Borg character made it to Level 30 and beat the (old) Defense of New Romulus with the skill point bug. :D
