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.
Ah, the classics. They still work.
I actually bought the VHS tape many years ago. I keep it around in case I need to bootstrap an eating disorder.
The Ares looks to me like the very model of the BUK (Butt-Ugly Kitbash).
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...
I hope congratulations are not premature.
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...
Y'know, I'd kind of wandered away from these boards for a while, so maybe I'm not as familiar with the ins and outs as I used to be. Am I now expected to have an engineering degree to post my...
I haven't seen "Closet Cases" in years. The singing mailboxes put me on the floor every time.
The plots summarized in the article do little to validate your opinion.
"...goes political?" Whoever wrote that headline really could have tried doing a little research first. When was science fiction not political?
Now, for the "plots" described in the article, a...
I like the look of the Wilkerson, but I see a big practical problem with the nacelle pylons. They don't seem thick enough to hold the power transfer conduits, and the way they attach to the nacelles...
Actually, I don't think we've ever seen a TNG/DS9/VOY era cadet uniform in any branch color other than command red. It may be that cadets do not, administratively, "enter" a branch until they receive...
:eek:
Do you recall the "antimatter spread" in "Best of Both Worlds, Part 2?" Sounds a lot like your charges to me...
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.
Your type E looks like the issue of an illicit mating between the Type F and Herbie the Love Bug...which is to say, it anticipates the relationship between 24th-century shuttlepods and the full-size...
