I've not seen a issue of Communicator since Enterprise went off the air....is it still around at all? I was hoping their ship articles would get to the Dominion Battlecruiser (as I've yet to see good references for the ventral side), but it looks like they got cancelled with Enterprise.
Anyone know?

Well I checked out the Star Trek Fan Club Store and this issue was being discussed on the forums. Apparently the Magazine is being released bi-monthly and is said to always be late in terms of release dates. I have not heard of it being cancelled.

Hmm....there really is a lot of things (tech/ship wise) they could go into without re-hashing stuff from ST:TM or Fact Files.
Many ships were never really covered and just when we started seeing great stuff luke Sternbach's article, the old mag got canned. I'd love to (for example) see good schematics and a scale established for those Cardassian weapons platforms...
...and who better than us to debate them, I ask?
I may have to start a thread...

Sooo...it seems pretty dead to me. BOth Barnes & Noble and Borders say they no longer carry it (here anyway).
So, unless I want to subscribe (yeah, riiight) I'll not see another issue.

Yeah, because they cant afford it...though they can afford Barbie magazine and six kinds of horror/SFX movies that never sell.

How the hell could you write a monthly magazine about Barbie? I can see the Nitpicker-type questions from readers now... "In the ad for the new Barbie dolls in the September issue, Barbie's breasts are noticably larger than in the ad seen in July. Can these illustrations be considered canon, and if so, does this imply that Barbie has undergone breast augmentation in the last few months? -barbie_fan7746, Piedmont, WI"

I really dont understand the Barbie thing either....but then, there's also several electric railroad mags, five or six action figure mags, a Pokemon magazine and one dedicated to 12" "figures" (the old G.I. Joe dolls and the more recent army dolls that grown men still play with...er..."collect").
Hmmm..I've seen a Yu-Gi-Oh magazine as well.
Really, I can (sorta) fathom stuff like that if it's the big craze of the year (like Yu-Gi-Oh was, I guess) but Borders has an entire rack of weird shit that I see stacked up endlessly each time I go there.
That means the Communicator's sales must have really sucked hard if Barbie is still carried and it is not.

But I bet you still have fantasies about Barbie in that red yeoman's outfit. Admit it, its the Smithers in you.

No....though I could easily see many real women in that costume.
Robin Meade from CNN for example....(drools)

Yes...from back when Paramount was riding high on the whole "25 years" thing.
Back when they schlocked out any silly thing and the fans (supposedly) bought it.
