Yeah, Becks, usually it's de rigueur at Flare to at least introduce yourself before you start bashing people here.

Did you even bother to read Star Trek: Final Frontiers' PDF script files before making that statement?

Wrong on both counts, and anyway, what does any of that have to do with this topic? Nothing.
DougM, welcome to Flare forums. I'm glad you found us, and are enlightening us on all the hard work you guys did for Final Frontier. Although I originally didn't like your Enterprise design, I think now that it was more a matter of it being very different than what I was used to. And different isn't bad, it's just different. I'd be very interested in learning more about the ship. How old was it by the time of the show? How does the ship compensate for the Omega particle-damaged space?

I don't have all our notes in front of me, but our Enterprise was probably ten to twelve years old by the time of the pilot, and Chase was her second captain. It was a standard workhorse ship, designed to patrol the border and occasionally shoot at something.
Basically, an Omega Field acts just like normal space unless you try to go to warp. If you do that, you blow up (it's far more scientific than that, of course). There are still wide swathes of space that are unaffected, so it can warp around quite a bit and explore new worlds, but some areas are limited to impulse only for starships.
The Dragonfly is designed to travel at low warp inside the Omega Field. By maintaining a very small profile at warp and doing some fancy flying, it's possible (but dangerous) to travel at about warp 3 inside the Field. This way, we can reach some planets that have been cut off from starship travel and also investigate inside the field in an attempt to figure out what (or who) caused them.
Thanks for the welcome. You guys seem a little saner than some of the other corners of the web that this project has exposed me too.

Oh, gods, please tell me you haven't been to TrekBBS. They make us look bad. I hope for your sake you haven't been there. If you have, I'm so, so sorry.

*glances at Becky and his asshat comments about Voyier[sp]* Hey, Beck. Go eat a dick, newb.
DougM: Don't fear. I'll pick on you, regardless of your opinion on halflings, i pick on everyone that rubs me raw (or secretly delights me because they bring -new- light or intensity to the conscept we all love: Bashing E {now that guys WAS a asshat})

I also wish to note regarding the reported Okuda statement that NX-01 had no engineering section per se. And on that note, I wish to also post an image of this ring-nacelled ship, which I saw earlier today and came to mind when I read your mention of which part you were going to screw with.
Perfect for when the Ori join Starfleet.

Latent Image and Living Witness. Although I probably missed a few episodes in later seasons so maybe there's one hiding in there.

Drone was good... though the idea that a Borg could suddenly become ultra-futurized by accessing one piece of specific 29th century tech (which was built by a man from the 20th century, FYI) was kind of ridiculous.
I thought The Gift was pretty good. Phage was alright. Equinox was good. Year of Hell was good too, though the fact that the ship could take so much damage and still remain operational only reminded me of the realism that was lacking when the ship would magically repair itself from week to week.

Yeah, Year of Hell was pretty cool up until the reset button.
In non-thread-derailing news, our storyboard artist is working on boards for part three and beyond, so there will be some new stuff up soon. I'm excited about this because there's some great action in four and seeing it come alive, even in storyboard form, will be cool.

Hi guys, been a while since this thread had anything going on in it, but I wanted to let everyone know that we just posted 131 new storyboards on the main Final Frontier site. This completes the pilot story with an amazing total of 422 images.
Amazing because our artist did all of them for nothing but the love of the game. And a few small bribes. If you click through the gallery really fast, it's almost like we actually animated it. In crude black and white.
Would love to hear your thoughts here or on the site.
