Jaynz or Jane's Fighting Ships?

Could not find it again, but I read in an earlier thread someone mentioning something called Jaynz (not sure I'm spelling it right), but thought it might be someone's version of a Jane's Fighting Ships for Trek; if anyone knows what I'm talking about, please give further information (or even better, a link!).

Janyz fighting starships started as an article series in Stardate Magazine published by FASA. This way Fasa could add new ships to thier role playing game and of course thier Starship Combat Simulator game.

Vance came along later and created some very nice material and a web
site based on the FASA Janyz name. :)

Guiggie's pretty much answered it all for me, to be sure..

But, yes, Jaynz is my web-site, which is a compilation of Star Trek starship technology as presented between the original airings of the original series through the release of The Voyage Home.

So many jokes... so many...

Anyway, I just finished redoing the gallery code for www.jaynz.info and got a LOT of my TOS ships done and up there again. Not nearly all, mind you (there's a metric ton of them), but over 50 at last count.
 
Thanks, Bernard, for the link.

Vance, I look forward to checking out your site when I get more time; a cursory look shows it will doth provide many hours of happy reading.

Anyone want to put up a link to the other aforementioned Jayane's site?:)

"Jane's" is a real-world publication (look it up) on military hardware and technology. It's also been "licensed" a couple of times for computer games and the like, but those weren't done by the Jane's folks.

"Jaynz," etc, are corruptions of the "Jane's" name, probably as much to avoid copyright/trademark-infringement issues as anything else.

Check it out...

Nah, Cary, it was a 'pun'. Don't read into it more than that. A 'sci-fi joke' of the famous Janes' Guides. No one was concerned about the legalities.
 
OK, having watched "Serenity" now, I understand the reference to Jayne Cobb...didn't get it at first.
 
Firefly is an excellent serires, in many respects, so long as you completely and totally ignore anything technological in it. :)

By the way Vance any word on Leanna's Fighting Starships Book from ADB ?

This time it's my fault. I got word from SVC and really just need to get stuff together for a mockup on a starship entry. I'm still just trying to figure out which way to go with it.

The past two months have been rough, to say the least...
