P.S. Speaking of well on a totally different point. There was an article in the Qld (Queensland) Sunday Mail yesterday about 'new inventions' i.e. the 'body computer' etc... and that this company from America had "been approached by Star Trek to design stuff for their new series which, which is like 400 years in the future" the said that they had a hard time overcoming new ideas for things that looked futuristic, and that this company did that well. So it sounds like that this might be for the new Trek... What ever that might be.
I still don't think there should be a new Star Trek for at least a few years... (This is me talking not the newspaper article) cause there is just TOO much Sci-Fi on TV now... Stargate, Farscape, Earth: Final Conflict and now "Andromeda" it'll wear thin pretty soon, if it hasn't already.
Out of them Stargate SG-1 is definately the best.

I doubt Paramount would have to rely on outside consulting if it was doing stuff for another 24th century show - the "look" for that era is being nicely handled by the current art dept folks. But would this Qld paper or the company in question know that "present" is in the 24th century and "future" is 400 years from there?
I'm looking forward to hearing about the new Magazines, too. I'm not even getting the "kiddie version" Fact Files any more.

But anyways, the Equinox was only in last month's issue, and this months issue is just starting to hit stores, so there's really nothing new yet to scan.

Somebody said there was going to be some new pics of the Nebula class and some Romulan ships??
Rereading the article it was the company that said that Star Trek had approached them for their new show and that was 400 years in the future! So I guess they are feeling good about themselves huh...
Either she was going by the 24th century thing - which is only 300 years away or that they are INDEED jumping ahead to the 25th century... I just think she roughly though 400 years... 2000->2376 which is close enough to 400 years.

I'd like to see the magazine do a chart on all the Federation ships(like the one in the Encyclopedia, but updated to include all the new designs, and it should include the study models we have(briefly)seen on screen). I was disappointed to see that the newest revision of the Encyclopedia didn't have an updated chart, so it'd be nice to see it done in the mag(so we don't have to wait years for the next revison of the encyclopedia).
