    Did the entire bridge module get replaced?

    I've been looking at some bridge refit pictures & I got to thinking: The bridge of the ENT-D changed a lot in TNG & Generations. They never really addressed this in the show. 'In universe' do you think that it was just new carpets, wall panels, consoles, etc - or did the entire bridge get...

    Star Trek XI is for a new generation? BOYCOTT!

    Who asked for a new generation anyway? Certainly not me. Back in my day, 5 years ago to be exact, we didn't need any fancy next generations. We had plenty of TOS back then. TOS was everywhere, it was like the golden age of TOS, way back in 2004. Anyone here old enough to remember them...

    Is Star Trek XI TOO awesome?

    I was excited about this movie, but y'know, I'm starting to think it's a little too awesome. Star Trek shouldn't be awesome. It should have only one style: The style desired by the true fans of Trek, The style of Fanon Treknobabble. This movie is disregarding a lot of dearly loved fanon...

    Splinter of the Mind's Eye by Alan Dean Foster

    With the news of STXI getting novelized by Alan Dean Foster, I am reminded of this old Star Wars novel he wrote, which I have a copy of. I'm not a big EU fan, but I do have this book and the novelization of the OT. The version I have is from Del Rey books, copyright 1978. Now, this book is...

    The Fan Pit

    You know, there's a lot of talk about the so-called 'old fans' ...which is really everyone one this entire board, and the 'new fans' who don't really exist yet, but who will grow like weeds after this new movie. Anyway, apparently this new movie needs new fans, since they tend to actually be...

    My tos-era Romulan BIRD OF PREY design

    I haven't been doing too much lately due a very busy Real Life, and I have a lot of art projects in various stages of non-completeness. But I finally dug in and hammered this design out, which I have been playing with for a loooong time now. It's a fairly small TOS or maybe pre-TOS romulan...

    Bridge Layout guess

    This sketch is based off of the bridge shot with the captain's chair and the group shot in front of the viewer: Before anyone says it, yes this is about 75% assumption. I assume the bridge is perfectly symmetrical, for example. I assume there's nothing special just off camera. The proportions...

    Star Trek at the Oscars

    Is it possible Paramount is going to get this movie nominated for something? Like maybe visual effects. I don't watch the Oscars so I'm a little vague on what STXI could qualify for, but it would be kind of neat to see Trek get a nomination, or even...win. I guess it depends on who else is...

    Who is the competition?

    I'm trying to think what 'blockbuster' movies are supposed to be coming out next May/June. But I can't think of anyone else coming out that early. So, who does Trek XI have to beat, if anyone? Is there any competition at all?

    Star Trek XI dishonors original by existing

    Abrams must think he's pretty damn clever making another Trek movie. He claims that it will 'honor' the original Trek. I cry foul on this. If he really wanted to honor Trek he would do it by NOT making another Trek movie. This is clearly what most of the fans want. Without Shatner's immense...

    U.S.S. QUEST NCC-80053 Blueprint/Layout Project

    Up Until now the vast majority of my detailed work has been of the Pre-Tos variety. The reasons are simple: -Smaller. -More basic shapes. -Virgin territory canon-wise. -Less fancy schmancy technology. But now I've decided to try to prove myself not to be a one-trick pony and do a TNG ship...

    ESS AACHEN, XCV-770: Full Deck Blueprints Project.

    ESS AACHEN, XCV-770. This is an old, old project of mine. It seems whenever I start a project it either dies half-way through or spirals out of control into some huge, complicated thing. Usually it does both several times, actually. In any case, some of you probably remember that I posted...

    So what's up with the trailer Enterprise proportions?

    I've been trying to replicate the angle we see in the trailer by taking up-close pics of my 16" model. The following is the result: -The first pic is the model Ent. -The second is the Trailer ship, obviously. -The third pic is a manipulation to get my model to look like the trailer...

    Abrams is stealing my memory!

    Last night J.J. Abrams, a.k.a. 'The Ruinator', snuck into my house and stole my Star Trek DVDs. I'm not the type to wear a tinfoil hat (at least not on some Sundays), but I think he also stole my memory. After watching the teaser, I knew something sinister was up. Aside from the blatent...

    Old Art - Double Sized Enterprise...

    Since the new Ent is looking to be quite a bit larger than the older version, I thought I'd post some old art I did when the news of Abrams's involvement was first announced. It's not my best work (I did it mostly as a thought exercise & for laughs), but I think it's pretty funny that it might...

    Does Simon Pegg have the legs for a kilt?

    ...If not then the movie will SUKX! Afterall, if Scotty doesn't wear the kilt as part of his uniform, the Star Trek universe will collapse around us. And we'll be forced to deal with reality. :scream: So:

    USS PROMETHEUS...impulse drive?

    I'm looking at ST: Communicator issue 152, with jolly Picard on the cover. In this issue is a nifty set of views for the Prometheus, both in combined mode and separated into the three little ships. Maybe someone can help me here, but I don't see any impulse drives on either secondary hull...

    Cristopher Lloyd ruined the Klingons!

    In TOS the klingons could be subtle, crafty and cruel. They were clearly militaristic, but they weren't all the same in that they were not all BATSHIT INSANE. Granted, there were exceptions, like Worf (raised by humans), but Klingon policy in the 24th century was essentially: Get killed in...
