As to the other sketch, is that a name above the registry number? On the scan it's impossible to make out, but is it any clearer in the actual book? I didn't think this design was ever associated with the name Endeavour. Eaves did the would-be Endeavour's design.

Alex: Maybe I'm misinterpreting you, but if you're trying to say that the sketch might have been the source for the Endeavour's registry number as we know it, you'd be mistaken. It had already been given on the tachyon detection grid display several years before in "Redemption" (TNG).

Nice.
Did you ever make rear or forward views?
If you dd (do) I'll build the ship as a physical model to go with my fleet.
I always liked that design.
Where do you think it seperates? In the middle so each half has nacelles woyld be by guess. [Wink]

Its not that great of a line drawing, really. I did it quickly and didn't match up the lines well. All I did was trace over the side view that I had scanned in from the Mag.

That Eaves-Endeavour rocks! Especially the bottom right sketch, that's the best one.

But who did that NCC-1705 line drawing on the first page? I don't mean the Zandura/Matrix Squid. ;-

Someone (whoever did the 7105-sketch for the movie) took the Endeavour's registry from the Encyclopedia and drew it on his sketch, to make the vessel resemble the Endeavour. He just forgot one digit. My interpretation. And if I'm not mistaken, we never saw a Nebula-class ship with the name Endeavour on screen nor did any display identify the Endeavour as a Nebula. That guy just re-assigned the number to a new class of ship, implying that the new design had always been around throughout TNG.

If that's the case, it was a pretty advanced ship for TNG. [Razz]

Oh... and I have also always thought the Goodson was a descent design. I nominate Reverend to flesh that puppy out. [Smile]

Gwoo! Great stuff!

But I think the NCC could easily be in the 40-50K range due to the older look of the nacelles and struts...

Yeah...but that is actually the Yorktown's registry number, for you see this is a candidate for the Zodiac-Class at the ASDB.

Oh, okay. I just was misinterpreting you. [Wink]

To be as anal-retentively fanboyishly correct as possible, I'll point out that Picard's PADD did in fact list the classes of the tachyon grid ships. (The Endeavour is the first one on the list.) But of course, the FC artist wouldn't have known or probably cared about this insignificant detail, so what you're saying still stands.
