I'd like to see some TOS Era and TOS Movie Era ship designs. Something like the Federation and Klingon fleets that were about to attack each other in "Errand of Mercy". I realize it sorta goes against the TOS standard to show that sort of space combat, as realistically, if you've got weapons that are good out to thousands of kilometers, you don't want to be w/in spitting distance of the enemy, but it would look kewel. Or at least show the Fed or Klingon Fleets, sorta like some of the images at Mateen Greenway's site.
For the other ships, maybe some scenes using mostly TOS Movie Era ships relating to The Tomed Incident, which occured in the 2310's. Some Connies, Miranda's and maybe a Constellation class with an Excelsior as the flag ship taking on some brand-spankin'-new-for-the calendar Romulan ships.
I'd also like to see some civilian ships from various Era's. Would also be kind of kewel to see some bustling stabases, as was already mentioned. However, I'd like to see more civilian type stuff.

Amazon is apparently shipping the 2004 SofL calendar. Their site still has the old picture, but Barnes and Noble has a new one. Anyone bought it yet?

I've had it pre-ordered from Amazon for quite a while. They indicate it has already been released, but apparently their supply has always been low, so they need to have it (special) ordered from another warehouse before they can ship it to me. I still don't have it yet and I haven't seen it anywhere else. I wonder what's really going on here for it to take so long to actually be received by purchasers. They've been big sellers in the past but I've always seen copies available.

I was in Halifax, NS for a sci-fi con on the weekend and a local shop had two there. If it hadn't been $20 I'd have picked one up. The cover is as it was shown earlier in the thread with the Starfleet ships facing off with the Klingons.
I should've taken more care to remember the various shots inside but there's a couple of NX-01, one of which is an under construction shot in the drydock. Another features two Constitution refits passing one another in an asteroid field.
I wish I could remember more of them, but it did look like a good calendar. I'll ask for it for my birthday. I definitely want it. By comparison, I think it's better than this years SOTL calendar.

I believe Mojo's pretty much moved on from UF and the calendars. Last I heard, he was working on several projects... Trust me, should he ever find a project where the fans can be involved, he'll come here first.

Goddammit, it's a crime that all that work was done, and we were continually teased with the possibility (they even advertised it in the '01 or '02 calendar!), and now we can't even see whatever preliminary work was done on it!
And all we can do is keep buying whatever they deign to offer, in the hopes that one day they'll decide to give us something we really want. Because if we STOP buying their stuff, then they'll end up cutting out the entire line altogether.
(I know, I know; we Treknologists are only a small fraction of the actual market... it still annoys me to no end! )
