I recall seeing art here featuring speculations on what a TOS-era Oberth might have looked like, and am having difficulty tracking down the artwork/relevant thread(s). Can anyone help me find it again?

I went looking and it turns out that Jérôme Lalande's star catalogue has been preserved and translated to English. Having since discovered by such means that Lalande 8 - from John M. Ford's The Final Reflection - is in fact a real star, I am now trying to find out what names or catalogue...

Can anyone refresh my memory re: this topic? I seem to remember reading something about the subject, but can't recall where right now.

Hi. Wondering if there's any kind of archive of screenshots of star maps depicted in the Klingon Academy game...? I'm doing research for a fan art project under discussion elsewhere.

I know about Zun, sourced from korsaya.org, and some others as well... At the moment, I'm looking for a font inspired by the writing system on the warpshuttle Surak from TMP...? If it's more appropriate to move this query to Fan Art, I have no objections.

I'm expecting other people here to have other questions about such research documents. Anyway, seeing as some catalogues tend to be cited with Greek letter-names standing in for those of the lead astronomer(s) or abbreviations of such names - Beta/Burnham, Sigma/Struve, Delta/Dunlop, etc. -...

Has anyone here put together their own version of the symbols we see used in Star Charts and Stellar Cartography for the various star system types depicted therein? If so, are you willing to share? I can probably work with files formatted for Illustrator, Corel Draw, Inkscape, Affinity...

This is a thing I've been working on for the last couple of months, because I was inspired by John Concagh's Edge of Midnight project. EoM-DisputedZone-1Oct2023-A by Dwight Williams, on Flickr

Gliese 361 and iota Leonis, if anyone can figure it out before I get the right database installed into Gaia Sky...? I can't seem to find Gl 361 with Celestia or Gaia Sky. Yet. Yes, there's a Star Trek fanfic project involved.

Yes, it's been that long since that research paper got published. https://twitter.com/DaleFrail/status/1480159110725308416

This might be of interest, to our more well-off members and to visual reference seekers. Noting this: they're selling the "Edward's Tribbles" prop cereal box, and at least one Klingon wine barrel prop, among other things...

Aside from the obvious seats for Kirk, Spock, Uhura, Sulu and Chekov, there were a bunch of extra workstations scattered across the bridge set. Was it ever explained what the extra workstations were supposed to be for? (And can I get this moved from Fan Art to Trek Tech, please?)

I think this may have been discussed here before: there's a font they're using on the ship's user interfaces, not Microgramma Extended, because I've seen it in use alongside the one I'm thinking of. Here's an example of what I mean...

Reading this: https://michaelchabon.medium.com/some-notes-on-freecloud-c53d4459a41b Two questions come to mind: 1) How might the orbital mechanics of four planets - minimum - work around a binary star like Alpha Doradus? 2) Could you get a continental coastline of 1 million miles (1.6...

On page 110, Section 12.6 - Turbolift Transport Systems describes DS9 as having "34 levels of the Station Core and 252 of the Docking Pylons". There are other references scattered throughout the text to there being 36 decks in the Core, and I am inclined to believe that latter number for that...

If you're interested in designing fonts for fictional languages - and I think there's a few artists here thinking about such projects! - this web page might be of some interest: https://www.creativeboom.com/inspiration/how-do-you-design-a-font-for-a-fictional-language/ If you know of other...

Okay, so Hoefler Co. tweeted months ago that the graphic design team on Picard decided to go with Tungsten for their Starfleet-issue Okudagrams. I've started wondering about lower-cost alternatives for fans of a mind to try to recreate that look from that series' timeframe. MyFonts seems to have...

Once CTV Sci-Fi airs an episode, it ends up on Crave, a subscription-based view-on-demand library owned by Bell Media. What I'd like to know is what languages can you get either translated dialogue or subtitles for on Crave. Apparently, Netflix has Klingon as one of the language options...

He's announced publicly on Facebook that he's been hired on as part of the design team for season two.

Wondering what's currently available to fans looking to build their own custom 2360's-2390's LCARS-style graphics. Tutorials, downloadables...? I already have AI, Affinity Designer, Inkscape, so that angle's covered.
