That's right, the Utopia Planitia 3 project is officially dead as a doornail, and all the material that was completed will now be declassified. I'm not releasing it all at once, since that would gum up DAC really badly, so only a few ship classes at a time will be released.
Please keep in mind that many of these articles were done years ago, and that their original authors may or may not still be around to comment on them.
Also keep in mind that most of the articles did not have schematics done for them, so most of what you'll be getting is just plain text.
Enjoy.

Does this mean that the UP3 forum maybe turn into a 'creating the Titan' forum!?!

It will become the B-Movie forum: dedicated to ripping apart the worst in science fiction.

Actually, Charles is letting me have that forum so that I can post nude pictures of myself holding all my Star Trek models. Wait 'til you see how I'm holding the Klingon Bird-Of-Prey.
In all seriousness, though, I imagine the forum will just stay there. The threads may be locked, like the Voyager and Deep Space 9 forums were before being merged into General Trek Discussion. Of course, I'm just talking out my ass right now. For all I know, Charles could unlock it and turn it into the Andromeda forum.
I am glad the fruits of the UP3 forum are being posted; I've longed to see what was going on in there. So far, I've enjoyed what Krenim's been posting in the Design, Artwork, and Creativity forum.

The stuff collected so far looks like it would make a decent website. Using a content management system it may be updated by anyone anytime...

Sorry for the delay in getting more write-ups posted for you guys. College has been really busy the last month or so. Anyway, Defiant is up now.

Ten months later, and I've finally exhausted all the UP3 materials I could find. After a little while, I'll sticky a new thread that'll serve as an index for all the UP3 Declassified threads.
