[QUOTE]Originally posted by Identity Crisis: [QB] Deneva: It's a transport - just a framework to house modular containers (you can see two on the top view, but they're absent from the side view). It has a lot of similarities to some of the old FASA tugs. Freighters are meant to be ugly so this works well. Niagara: very nice but doesn't fit the registry range of the Niagaras. Use it for the Zodiac or Andromeda instead. The others are just bad. The book also has the Miranda, constellation, Sovereign, New Orleans, Olympic, Norway, Akira, Steamrunner and Sabre. The artwork is rather stylised and in some cases quite different to the 'real' things. Hence one could re-work these designs a bit. But starships are just a small part of the book. Indeed these designs are just a small part of starships section. There are large sections on Federation history, how power is shared between the President and the Council. How the various Federation agencies are organised. Lots of detail on the Merchant Marine. Extra detail on starfleet. Back to ships and the authors have clearly read SotSf and other fandom works. The Horizon class is mentioned as is the Endeavor class, both in contexts that support the fandom histories of those classes. The designations for various types of ships (CH for Heavy Cruiser, FF for Fast Frigate, etc.) are a lot more similar to the SotSF ones than any 'real world' system. It makes a few blunders. The Akira, Norway, Sabre and Steamrunner are all lsited as 'new' designs introduced after Wolf 359. The Cheyenne is mentioned as being venerable. One or two classes are given designations that are at odds with on screen dialogue. A good book, it's only the artwork in the ships section that really lets it down. [/QB][/QUOTE]
