This is a follow-up to my "Project: Wildfire" piece. I'm thinking about making a series of these, as a sort of fan-made substitute for the aborted "Unseen Frontiers" book.

Wow, looks great... I'm wondering why the Mars Defense Perimeter seems a bit close. Anyway, looks good.

Looks very cool. Sorta looks like those projection of the Whale Probe on the wall of SFC in STIV:TVH.
Posted by Futurama Guy (Member # 968) on :
Looks cool, how do the ETA's figure on this...especially for the "Grey Wolf"...it has the same ETA as ships many sectors away....(?)

Read the Wildfire message, Grey Wolf is still stuck in dock.

You know what would be cool? Listing the Defiant at UP.

Would'nt the Defiant project have been started as a response to Wolf 359?
What class is the USS Grey Wolf?
It'd really lookin' great so far!

I don't recall it being mentioned about the start of the Defiant project, tho Sisko doesn't do any work on it 'til after Wolf 359. It's entirely possible that Defiant is one of the weapons programs that Shelby mentioned at the beginning of BoBW that are still several months from completion. Remember, they had something like two years advanced notice, thanks to "Q Who". Of course, that was something of a two-edged sword....
EDIT: Very kewel, Kris! I've been saving this for some not-yet-known reason. I just feel driven to save these. Keep 'em comin', please!

According to the DS9 Tech Manual, the Defiant Project was initiated some time in 2366 (up to 12 months before BoBW), even if at the time of the incursion the design was past the pathfinder stage (which I doubt) the ship would only have existed as an unfinished space frame. Even then it wouldn't even at Utopia Planitia at that point, it would be at the Antares Yards, in the Bajor Sector.
Either way, a partially constructed keel isn't exactly what I'd call reinforcements.

Don't know, I made it up. From the registry I suppose it could be another second generation Miranda, a Hokule's, a Wambundu, an Ambassador, a Niagara or some other class that we've never seen or heard about.
Given that it was supposed to have the same weapon system as the Saratoga installed then another rollbar-less Miranda would be a safe bet. Having said that I can easily see those booms being attached to the ASDB's Wambundu and Hokule'a designs.

Hey just a thought but I think it would be cool to do a few shots before this one and a few after to see enterprise come into the picture. Eh? I dunno. Great job Reverend.

Weapon system?

UPDATE
Made the map a little more interesting, it now looks a little bit more populated than it did.
See the wildfire thread.

Ooh, much prettier. I'm waiting to hear your explanation of the USS Endeavour.

It survived Wolf 359, dropped off the survivors and escape pods at Proxima and made a beeline for Sol. Nuff said. Although I forgot to change it's location to Sector 002. Oh well, next update.

Already been said by others, but I'll add my voice to the chorus of "very cool" comments abounding here, Kris! Posted by Sol System (Member # 30) on :
I am no good at cross-referencing.
Posted by Reverend (Member # 335) on :
You won't have to look far, the Wildfire thread is only a week or so old.

I take it that at this scale Venus and Mercury are too close to the sun to be listed?

Re: date: Yes, I know. That is what makes the self-deprecation all the more entertaining, you see.

I think Charles needs to come up with a special UBB tag for [SARCASM]. Posted by Reverend (Member # 335) on :

They'd probably fit in there. I use didn't include them because I wanted to avoid having more clutter than absolutley necessary.

You don't say.

I think I'm managing quite well without it. Posted by MinutiaeMan (Member # 444) on :

Oh, sure. I've never had a real problem with it myself, either. It's just that the sarcasm really loses its effect when it has to be explained to some poor schmuck who wanders in and asks what's going on.
But I guess it's that way everywhere anyway, right?
