    I wouldn't even worry about any casting rumors at this stage. Trek XI has just now been greenlighted (i.e., officially entered preproduction). Casting is probably at a barely legible scrawlings on...

    Are these supposed to be scale models? That seems hard to believe for the Enterprise-D, but I notice that the BoP would come out at about 150 meters to the original Enterprise's 288.6. Considering...

    The Klingons seem to have destroyer miniaturization down to a science. Starfleet could take some lessons from them. Still, I kinda like the thing, but maybe more as a scout.

    I actually bought the VHS tape many years ago. I keep it around in case I need to bootstrap an eating disorder.

    What I liked about LUG's Taurhai was the way they contributed to explaining the last Romulan isolationist spell--the Romulans weren't really hiding behind their borders, they just chose to be...

    The more salient question may be: "How advanced do you need to be to invade a pre-industrial world and then move one of its great cultural treasures from the Beta Quadrant to the Gamma Quadrant?"

    For reasons I've never quite been able to put my finger on, I like the Detroyat design. I wouldn't have thought the blocky engineering hull would work very well in a TMP version, but this is pretty...

    RE: Ajax

    This is good. I like seeing TOS or film-era ships with a reduced secondary hull and interhull that can fill in the gray area between the Constitution and the one-hull wonders like the...

    I don't think more phasers are all that critical. It's already packing, what, the standard 6 banks on the saucer? I'd look for an excuse for even a single torpedo launcher on a ship that size before...

    It wouldn't hurt my feelings. The Baker is not only as long as a Constitution refit with what looks like a greater internal volume, it has those nacelles hanging down as if to say, "Hey, hey, Bird of...

    The Shepherd is a good smaller ship, too...in both incarnations. I think the refit begs for some Miranda-esque sensor/deflector greebly things on the dorsal leading edges of the rear hull, though.

    The Thyella is a nice one. I like how it incorporates a "standard" saucer and nacelles while being definitely smaller than either the Constitution refit or the Miranda class. It's sort of what FASA's...

    A very smart idea. I can easily imagine Starfleet using such stations as temporary "placeholder" starbases, or Federation colonial officials setting them up as impromptu support facilities.
