@39: Andrew Probert was the original designer of Warbird, during the early seasons of TNG.

The new Excalibur class looks like the new Enterprise-JJ (or JJprise) from that one view (that’s not a good thing). The Connie-refit is my favorite (though the original Matt Jefferies design is a timeless beauty), let’s hope they do her proud (Ryan Church did not).

Anyway, I don’t understand why people continue to insist that the 24th/25th Century era is “played”. There are plenty of great stories to tell, we just haven’t had good people in charge of the Franchise for a long while. Pocket Books has made it clear that there are lots more adventures in store for Picard’s, Sisko’s, Riker’s and Calhoun’s crews.

Also, it’s fun to see a unified Expanded Universe timeline. If Star Wars can do it, I don’t understand why Star Trek cannot. Don’t stop telling stories that don’t fit in (kinda how McCoy’s future differs in the Shatnerverse and in the Crucible books by David R. George III), that’s what parallel universes/elsewords/the multiverse/hypertime is for.

That design has always been a fave of mine. Anyone know who the ST Production Designer was for this ship?

So….in Star Trek IV when they brought back the whales and saved the Earth, that created an alternate timeline. In the timeline they departed from, Earth was destroyed by the alien probe?

Each time you change the past and come back to the future, you’re only ever coming back to an alternate reality like those shown in TNG’s Parallels. Changing the past then “returning” to the future is more like moving between alternate realities.

@34: Well, as long as you’re not trying to be negative or anything.

I do some graphic design work. I don’t mean to be negative, but I really think the art design, at least for the ships, is horribly awful.

If there is an NX-class, I will play it. I don’t care if I have to limp around everywhere at TOS Warp 5, I don’t care if I have to buy it as a microtransaction or whatever, if there’s gonna be an ENT Bird Of Prey there’d better be an NX!
