If we will probably never see anymore NG DS9 VOY era movies or television series:wah: due to J.J. Abrams new ST movies:vulcan:, then at least a late 24th century Starfleet Technical Manual covering all things of NG DS9 VOY era would be a way of closing the book on it with a book? :shrug:
 
Doubt anything like that would happen.

It would appear that Kirk's era might be the only thing that's reaching a wider audience and keeps the cash flowing for the most part.

TNG, DS9, and VOY all have their own technical manuals to my knowledge.

The direction NuTrek seems to be taking probably won't contain a revised 24th century.

The audiences for DS9 and VOY were tiny compared to the audiences for TNG, syndicated TOS and the ST movies (which all appealed to the general public, people looking for gift books and casual browsers). DS9 and VOY didn't really have the numbers to get a dedicated tech manual when those shows were even on the air.

Good point. I did purchase all three NG, DS9 and VOY COMPANION books and the ST ENCYCLOPEDIA.
 
TNG TM was fairly dense with 24th c. tech material.
And then we had the DS9 TM.

I don't know what tech is left that needs to be covered.
Gel packs? Flippable nacelles?

I think all the major topics of warp drive, subspace comms,
holodecks, EPS, ODN, LCARS, etc. have been pretty much detailed.

Yet Voyager got one anyway.

That's not a licensed commercial product. Looks to me that it was published internally, to help the writers. I have a less-detailed one that presents the panels of the ST:TMP bridge, which was given to the actors so they knew which pretend buttons to press.
