Starships of the Star Fleet Technical Manual

[tonyg]

I agree with Cut and Sanmateo.

I think we'd all rather wait a bit, and get a good supplement, than have something put together in a rush that isn't as good (and needs to be reworked later).

Besides, if the gaming companies miss release dates, why can't you?

Compared to Decipher, you're still moving at warp speed.

How's this coming along?

[PGoodman13]

Took a little time off for fatherhood, and realized once my cover art came back that I had to rework my presentation a little bit to keep up. I'm back at work revising the fluff (not up to my standards in some places), and should have a proof copy of the TOS section to some of my proofreaders/playtesters sometime this weekend. The TMP section should be ready not too long after that, but I'm not rushing things because, well, I've got a three-year-old and a six-week-old to keep up with.

Thanks for asking, though; I should be better about updating things.

[SpaceKat]

Cool. Can't wait. The previews you posted so far have been great.

[PGoodman13]

Wait til you see the final product. The cover I've got now is ten times cooler than the one I put together way back when.

New cover sucks.

I can vouch for the fact that Patrick truly has been working on this bit by bit, squeezing stuff into the few spare moments in real life. I get emails at the oddest hours of night and morning sometimes. Personally, I don't know how he does it. I've only been raising a chihuahua puppy for the past few weeks and I can barely think at times!

It's looking might fine and, from what I've seen, it will be more than worth the wait.

And once it's done, we've got plans.... oh, yes...

[Fugazi Grrl]

Wow ! Very cool lookin !

[PGoodman13]

Glad you think so. I think I'm finally coming out of one of the worst bouts of writer's block I've had in a long, long time, so I might actually be getting myself back into this and getting the project finished...at long last.

[Fugazi Grrl]

Ohhhh... I eagerly await the finished result !

Say... on the subject of Starships and the like... has anyone done a CODA treatment of any starfighters ?

Our campaign does a lot with Marines, and fighter pilots in FASA. And I have to have something for Ronit Mair (our Bajoran fighter squad commander) to fly !

[PGoodman13]

She's a beautiful lady, and we love her.

Personally, I think the fluff leans a little too much on the first movie, but it could just be me being too close to it. I'm just happy to be writing again; that damn block was starting to get to me.

The project's alive again, so don't give up on me.

[K.G. Carlson]

She is a beautiful lady, and hands down this is my favorite iteration of that most famous-est of starships. Very well done sir!!

[TFVanguard]

Hate seeing old art used when I've got a little better...

Hmmmm. Very nice. Doesn't quite fit in with what I've got in mind for this project (I happen to kinda like your B/W line art for that), but I'll definitely be holding on to this for things in the future....

[PGoodman13]

Very kind of you to say that; thanks!

How's the fluff? I'm still a little close to it, I think, to tell how well it works.

[Tomcat]

It reads really well, Patrick. Great job!
