Nova Class Deckplans

[ImperialOne]

If I place an order for Intrepid plans now, will you simply ship them when ready?

Hi,

Tim here.
We don't want to miss a pre-order, or get things confused, so we're not taking any pre-orders, sorry about that.
Intrepid's on the way though, don't worry. Then Defiant after that. We just want to make sure things are as perfect as we can make them and not let any errors slip through.

DOh, Intrepid is first???? *cry*

[Tobian]

No, I definatelly am looking forward to the intrepid, it's one of the only canon ships that has almost nothing available for it.. I really wish they had done a Tech manual for it!

You might not agree with them but plans for the defiant do exist, in the DS9 tech manual - they don't look much like the model and are internally inconsistent with the cutaways they show in the book hehe, but they are existant!

[IceGiant]

Oh I agree, i just never cared for the Intrepid all that much.

[Treknophyle]

Tim and Dan are presently taking Intrepid on her final QC shakedown - then they'll go on to Defiant. Both ships are finished, they just have to proof them - and I don't jog their elbows while they do so.

If all goes well Intrepid and Defiant will be available in October.

We'll post details of any new ships as soon as they are ready to be released on our site.

I just got my Nova class deckplans in the mail...in a word, awesome!

One question, though...I can't find the holodeck; does the Nova class not have one?

I'll have a mutiny in my crew if they don't have a holodeck! If worse comes to worst, I can convert the work-out chamber into the holodeck, but I can't help but wonder if I'm just not seeing it.

Hi,

Glad you like them!
If we're not mistaken, in the Equinox episode, they state that Nova class didn't have any holodecks. And memory-alpha.org also states that.
I'm proofreading Intrepid now, but have been delayed due to the day job. Apologies for that.

yes, I can recall it was a specific part of the plot that the Nova class was too small to have a Holodeck, and judging by the episode the crew went mental because of it They had the 'poor mans holodeck' an impant which they wore on the side of the neck, which they got off some friendly aliens

I am seriously considering getting these, and definatelly the intrepid!

Ah, makes sense! Thanks!

[IceGiant]

You could also make the arguemnet that they just didn't have power for the holodecks, not necessarily that they didn't have any. But that's neither here nor there.

[Treknophyle]

As with many (...all...) tech statements made in an episode, this one is subject to various interpretations. We chose to pick the one with the greatest chance of being 'canon': "don't have" = "does not exist in this ship".

Our thinking has always been to treat statements, on-screen depictions, etc. as gospel , unless they are mutually inconsistent, in which case we argue about it in-house or ambush some innocent fans at a BBS and ask their interpretations.
Examples would include the MSDs & soundstages. The former we try to follow, but the latter is cast in tritanium.

Any updates as to the readiness of the Intrepid class deckplans?

Everytime I crack the door open to ask the QC's, they snarl and slam the door...
Seriously, they're working on it. The longer they inspect, the better the final product.
