In non-canon works, there is a Constitution cargo ship derivative consisting of a saucer with nacelles extending below and multiple cargo pods attached at the base of the neck. Do you like this ship? Does it even make sense? Could you make these Connie elements work in this configuration...

After First Contact, DS9 started using the FC uniforms. After the Pathfinder Project established regular contact between Voyager and Starfleet, there would be communications between officers in different uniform styles. Should Starfleet have sent the uniform pattern to Voyager? Should Command or...

The episodes “Death Wish” and “Tuvix” are only a few episodes apart and both weigh the rights of the individual against the needs/desires of the majority. In “Death Wish”, Janeway rules Quinn has the right to live his life as he chooses, even if that means his own death. Her verdict implies...

The Grand Nagus is the political and economic leader of Ferenginar. He is the most powerful and richest Ferengi. As such, wouldn’t you expect the Grand Nagus to traverse deep space aboard a D’Kora-class Marauder or another large, well armed vessel, or at least aboard a large vessel with a well...

Did ships prior to the Galaxy class have lifeboats? If so, where were they as I haven't seen markings identifying them If prior ships didn't have lifeboats or escape pods, why would Starfleet start using them after a couple hundred years without?

The central ships in the New Frontier novels are the Galaxy-class Excalibur-A and Trident. “Indistinguishable from Magic” and “Rough Beasts of Empire” centered around the Galaxy class USS Challenger and USS Robinson. Consider: Currently, 24th century trek lit is in the early 2380s...

Hasbro is now going to start making Star Trek products. I've also noticed that Diamond Select Toys has removed upcoming availablity dates for some items I've been watching and have had their dates regularly pushed back. So is DST pulling out of Trek all togther or is the franchise not doing...

If the Full Circle Fleet were to recover Janeway and Paris' salamander love children, would B'Lanna be cool with them moving in?

In the original draft of “The Tholian Web”, the USS Defiant was named the USS Scimitar. However, neither of these names are listed among the 14 original names for Constitution class ships in The Making of Star Trek. For DS9, the new ship was originally going to be the Valiant but it was...

In TNG: Unnatural Selection the doctors at Darwin station are creating genetically superior children with telekinesis and a highly proactive immune system. Why weren't these scientists more highly censored or even arrested like Soong and Bashir's father? They were manipulating the human...

After the Dominion War, wouldn't you expect to see more Defiants in the books? It seems like during the Borg invasion and afterwards, we read about a lot of big ships like Galaxies or Akiras, but wouldn't you expect to see more of the smaller, easier to mass produce Defiants which were designed...

Obviously the gecko spirit chose Janeway, but why did the writing/production staff chose a lizard in "The Cloud"? Were you expecting something different or for the gecko to return?

In season 1, choosing a name for the doctor was a big deal, in the show and to fans. Soon, a name became unimportant and largely forgotten. Why both in the show and among production was this endeavor given up on? Did you want them to name the Doctor?

Why did Picard and crew abandon the Stargazer? It seemed to still be functioning pretty well and have atmosphere 9 years later. Did the Ferengi conduct major repairs? Does it seem feasible that a Constellation class ship was still in service and on the frontier 9 years before TNG? In a few...

New Frontier readers know Mackenzie Calhoun and his son Xyon don't get along. Calhoun tries to reach out to the boy, though recognizes he is not and never will be a father figure. Xyon wants nothing to do with him, though. Now after "Blind Man's Bluff", Xyon REALLY hates his father. 2...

In season 1, before Tasha was killed, what were the roles of Worf and Geordi? They seemed to float around a bit in their responsibilities. I also find it odd that no title character was the chief engineer but in TNG the head of security was a title character whereas this wasn't the case in...

Anybody miss having hardcover trek books or would you rather pay less for your trek literature? Why do we not see hardcover novels anymore?

Diamond Select appears to have little to no interest in making more Trek figures. Meanwhile, they never made any Voyager figures and while Archer, Kirk, and Picard have chairs, there are no Sisko or Janeway captain's chairs. TAS and book characters like M'Ress and Mackenzie Calhoun could use...

Back in the 90s, some awesome ship cutaway posters were printed. I had most but have since lost them. Anyone else love them and want them back? Any ideas on how we can get them reprinted and would anyone like to try to get them reprinted...

Imagine you are in the Starfleet admiralty in the mid 2380s when Picard leaves command of the Enterprise for some reason. Who would you recommend to be the next captain of the Federation flagship? What would be your arguments for that individual? What do think are the important skills and...
