Title: Mr. Scott's Guide to The Enterprise: Phase II - 2006
Post by: USS Mariner on August 26, 2005, 09:00:49 pm: http://www.trekbbs.com/threads/showflat.php?Cat=&Number...psed&sb=5&o=&fpart=1 (http://www.trekbbs.com/threads/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=4660027&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=&fpart=1)

Shane Johnson (yes, that Shane) is approaching Pocket Books for a revised version of the MSGTTE, updated for the 21st century. He already has given intriguiging snippets of info for what new material and changes this is going to have, like the 1-deck reduction for the 1701-A from the 1701, and these positively bitching diagram snipppets he kindly gave to us over at the TrekBBS.

EDIT: Shane says that the book can sell itself, and that any letters might disrupt the thought-process of Pocket Books. Therefore I have removed the mailing address.

Thanks for the heads up !

Post by: USS Mariner on August 27, 2005, 09:55:50 am: This one will have two full deckplans, for both the 1701 and the 1701-A. And they are very different, because Shane has seriously taken the TNG sets into account as of STV and ST:VI (though he isn't including the TOS hull markings from TUC, as that would screw things up even worse.)

Could you explain what you mean here? Sorry I just want some clarrification...

Post by: S33K100 on September 02, 2005, 07:11:27 pm: Not off hand but StarshipModeler.com has the best photos of the Ent-A you'll find anywhere, or just take a look at the underside of WickedZombie's Connie refit model, it has them accurately portrayed I think.
