[QUOTE]Originally posted by Revanche: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [qb] Well, I can always resend zip files of the entire thing... because what I'm currently doing is rethinking the fundamentals, like ship masses or phaser types. I had relatively little FASA material originally to work with, but now I've found a few net sources, and am trying to make the masses jibe etc. [/qb][/QUOTE]I'm a big mass guy and would like to see your input on that. I was already trying to determine what might the masses be based upon your quote of Powers massing 2300 mt. Are you going with the FJ Connie mass of ~200K or the Scotty quote of ~900K as a basis? [QUOTE] [b]Ships currently under work: the Derf class buoy tenders, which are heavier combatants than some of the FASA cruisers... I'll change whatever I must to make ships like this fit, but I'll make no effort to fit in the ugly majority of FASA ships. The Loknar/Larson/Derf style is at least halfway palatable...[/b] [/QUOTE]I've always been a fan of FASA for including the working ships, and the Derf is definitely a Coast Guard-ish model. I don't feel you should be restricted to any one standard, as this is 'your' fan universe (as Masao's has his). You set the standard and grab that inspiration from wherever it pokes its head. [QUOTE] [b]I'd love some feedback, of course. And somebody to do the artwork. :) And to proofread... I've found plenty of clear errors in the attributions, and several cases where I changed a SFC or FASA design when I didn't have to. [/b] [/QUOTE]I'd be glad to act as a proofreader, grammatically speaking. I noticed a few errors and loose-ends, but had assummed that they were areas you had intended to go back on and fill in. I have your e-mail address. Let me finish my timeline and initial reading, and then I'll go back and do an entry-by-entry critical look. [QUOTE] [b]Underlying it all is the gut-gnawing feeling that half of this is gonna be outdated by "Enterprise" anyway. I'm still trying to decide whether I care. [/b][/QUOTE]Please don't (care). While I enjoy ENT, it has lessened the excitement of exploration, making so many 'firsts' in 2 seasons that it seems like that much smaller (and less mysterious) a universe. Its good entertainment, but I'm still not convinced that ENT will not end up being a divergent timeline from First Contact. It'd be a big pain (for you) to have to go back and change things accordingly, if that were to ebcome (anymore) apparent. [/QB][/QUOTE]
