No Pictures in SRM's

[Dan Gurden]

One of the things I did was to look up some of the schematics online and just label and print them and add them as an appendix on the end.

Places like the Daystrom Institute;
http://www.ditl.org/ (pleased to see that old link is still going strong).

or Starship Schematics
http://www.shipschematics.net/ (woohoo 2 for 2, who needs an old defunct favourites list).


These are OK for the canon vessels, and as has been pointed out, not nuch help with the concept and brand new designs...

So while I agree, I think that as an additional document to the SRM, possibly with a page showing the vessels in scale to each other sounds like a really good idea.

The other problem is whether many of the non-canon SRM designs will look bizarre once you draw them. Steve had examples in mind with many of them, I think, but I'm always skeptical of anyone's ability to explain things diagrammatically with prose.

Here are some excellent sites for ships, especially non-canon stuff:

http://ex-astris-scientia.org/

http://www.trekships.org/index.htm

http://www.starfleet-museum.org/index.htm

http://trekmania.net/


All the above have some great images both canon and non. All are good resources for those hard to find images that aren't BIG renders.

Good FASA site.
