Does the ringship count? I’m not sure at what point a “spaceship” becomes a “starship”.

I don’t know about in Trek lore, but I think in the real world, when a ship is designed or used to travel from one star system to another, it’s classified as a starship

In ST they definitely use shuttles and runabouts to travel between star systems, but they aren’t called starships.

or used

So the X-Wing Luke flies to meet Yoda for the first time (ostensibly in a different star system) was a starship?

I mean, I did specify “in the real world” and that we were taking about ST, but sure, I guess it applies to SW, too.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
