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.

I was thinking the Jenol(i,e,a)n Frank.

What class is the Typo suppose to be? Mistake-class?

Probably. I wish I had the original post from the SFCR.

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...

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.

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.

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?

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.

Isn't it with the Insurrection light-up Enterprise-E toy, not a model?

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.

Quick question...

WHICH dumbass at Micro Machines mistakenly stuck the name 'BERMAN' on the shuttle?!

Well, there was a shuttle called the Berman in "Cause and Effect." It's no worse than the Justman.

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.

Frank: Hey, Justman actually deserves credit. Berman deserves one of those maintence craft from TMP.
