The thread I posted in the Starships forum reminded me of the USS Typo I did a while ago. So, I retrieved the image and added a more detailed top view:The USS Typo was designed using all the latest technology developments from the ASDB (Abominable Starships Doomed to Break). It includes variable-plausability warp drive, gerbil-powered impulse engines, a fully integrated welcome mat, an ISO-9000 compliant main bridge, and paper-airplane warp nacelles. The ship is armed with a Nerf (TM) Master Blaster (not for sale in Canada). It was constructed by three chimps and a goldfish at the Umaeda Miss'tayk shipyards orbiting Berellia. ------------------ http://frankg.dgne.com/ "We spent the entire summer resting up, looking for some vital link missing in the big picture.

And, as it turns out, I do! I guess I had it saved, thankfully. Anyway, the Typo is Et Cetera-class. I'll post the rest of the info later. Looks like I'll have to update the diagram to include the sunroof...------------------ http://frankg.dgne.com/ "We spent the entire summer resting up, looking for some vital link missing in the big picture.

OK, here's the updated description.The Et Cetera-class USS Typo was built using all the latest technology developments from the ASDB (Abominable Starships Doomed to Break). Its design, finalised at Tantalus V, includes variable-plausability warp drive, gerbil-powered impulse engines, a fully integrated welcome mat, inverse-cosine shielding, an ISO-9000 compliant main bridge (with sunroof), and paper-airplane warp nacelles. The ship is armed with a Nerf (TM) Master Blaster (not for sale in Canada). It was constructed by seven chimps and a goldfish at the Wal-Mart Memorial Shipyards orbiting Berellia. ------------------ http://frankg.dgne.com/ "We spent the entire summer resting up, looking for some vital link missing in the big picture.

Funny post!! It would not surprise me if I see an Akira with the name USS Typographical Error NCC-65549! But I hope that it would have a Type-6 shuttle named Berman so I can shoot at it. I've set my own Type-6 shuttlecraft Berman, from the Micro Machines collection, on fire to make it look like my USS Avenger ship fired upon it.------------------ "Its origin and purpose, still a total mystery." -Dedication Plaque quote from the U.S.S.

I tried collecting the Star Trek Micro Machines, but everywhere I looked had the same sets so I never got very far on my collection. I really wanted the Defiant and Voyager ones too. Did they make an Enterprise-E?Hobbes 9907.17 ------------------ Got Trek? Federation Starship Datalink

Yes, but it's only available as bonus in a special large box. They also made the Ent-E Captain's Yacht, but that one is only available in a special Ent-E model box.------------------ "Calm may work for Locutus of the Borg here, but I'm freaked out, and I intend to stay that way!" - Xander, Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Yes Garak, that's true. I bought myself one, only to discover that there is only detail on the top of the toy, the bottom has no windows or escape pods. But I do like the Captain's Yacht(sp.) Cousteau. That's maybe the only reason I bought it. Oh, I decided to use my Berman shuttlecraft as part of my Wolf 359 graveyard fleet. It will be next to my "Borg damaged" USS Melbourne. ------------------ "Its origin and purpose, still a total mystery." -Dedication Plaque quote from the U.S.S. Odyssey

Well, there was a shuttle called the Berman in "Cause and Effect." It's no worse than the Justman.------------------ http://frankg.dgne.com/ "If you feel that there is some intelligent reason why the immortality and happiness of 600 people should outweigh doubled life-spans and freedom from disease for billions, feel free to let me know.

Wow. So Berman got a shuttle named after him, and this shuttle sat around while air was being vented out past it? What an honour. It's worse, Frank! Of course it's worse. ------------------ Elim Garak: "Oh, it's just Garak. Plain, simple Garak. Now, good day to you, Doctor. I'm so glad to have made such an... interesting new friend today."
