I've lately found a smidgen more, including reference to a Horizon fan tech manual printed at some point, with ship scalings in milli-spatials/spacials.<br /><br />I ended up submitting a quickie attempted Liberator scaling to a fansite back in the day but the pics are broken now, and having obtained some 3-D models (as part of a massive campaign of Star Trek: Bridge Commander model conversions to SketchUp for my nefarious Volumetrics purposes) I have renewed my interest in locking down scales. (Another modeler has done a wildly inaccurate scaling since then, as well, so that's all the more reason to re-do it properly.)<br /><br />I have the episodes and of course know of the transcript sites, so a full-on tech site would be great fun if I had the time, but in the meantime I'd love to know of any resources you know about or have found over time . . . maybe there's stuff in the Wayback Machine I could dig up, if I knew where something used to be.<br /><br />Thanks! <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#E5EAEF"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Lee</b> <br /><small>Member # 393</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2022,11,2,17,33,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">December 02, 2022</span> <span class="timeformat-0">05:33 PM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> Obviously watched it back in the day, but that was as far as it went.

While B7 probably has a few hiccups in that regard (I can think of one or two despite years since watching it through), a certain franchise with huge budgets (and even a claimed "Story Group" supposedly maintaining consistency) is far more unanalyzable these days. <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
