It comes out in March, and like I said, I think it's supposed to be more like a guide to the ship not a technical manual.

@JD thanks for pointing that out! Got excited and posted in the wrong thread! LOL.

This book is coming out early. mine has already shipped from Amazon, there was also $3 price drop if anyone is interested.

Next Generation? CD-ROM? Is it 1994 again?

Celebrating TNG's 25th anniversary with vintage technology!

Seriously, hearing that it has a frackin' CD-ROM makes me think it's a crap project. Forget it.

Ronald Held · February 20 2013, 08:28 PM

Mine should be here in a day or so.

We've put up some exclusive stills from the Bonus CD-ROM (as I know that's what a lot of people are most interested in!)

So what technology do you want? A downloadable version from "the iCloud"?

A thumbdrive?

A lot of people still use CD-ROMs, though. I've seen a few books recently with a thumbdrive attached and they make a very clumsy package for bookshops and libraries to handle. In my school library, we've received a few thumbdrives to catalogue - and it's really hard to put them into circulation.

^Which is why I had the thought that an SD card would be an easier thing to enclose in a book. They aren't much thicker than CDs.

Y'all want some cheese with your whine? Sheesh.

Hey, I hear they're bringing back vinyl records. I bet nobody willl buy that 100 year old tech.

Admiral_Young · February 21 2013, 03:10 AM

I'm most interested in the book. I could care less about the CD-Rom. I'm not complaining either. Just being honest.

Cetacean Ops? Please tell me you did Mike Okuda and Tobias Richter...

Hmm, I've been looking at the preview pics over on Trekcore, and I'm just not feeling it ... Tobias' space stuff is usually great, but this indoor CG stuff just doesn't look professional quality to me. I guess I'll wait for what you guys think about the text.

BTW, before Perpetual ran out of money and sold their Star Trek Online license to Cryptic, they had contracted Andrew Probert to design new, additional (vs. the show) Galaxy-class interiors for their version of the game. Mr. Probert later put the concept art he did for them on his website. There was some really neat stuff in there, I would have loved to see CG renders of that material. Sadly it no longer seems to be online now - does anyone have a backup?

Edit: Oh look, here's some of it: http://ottens.co.uk/forgottentrek/th...uld-have-been/

Some media needs to be enclosed for there are those of us without the allotment of 10's of GBs a month.
I am looking at the book. Looks all right but the cg versus clips stands out. Maybe the CD work is different.
