[QUOTE]Originally posted by Boris: [QB] I believe I speak for many people when I say that the book's official status doesn't hold -that- much significance. There's no longer that feeling "it's by Rick Sternbach and Mike Okuda, and therefore it's canon until proven otherwise, except for maybe the phaser beam coming out of the torpedo launcher". The show is canon, everything else is Rick Sternbach's opinion. And whatever Gary Hutzel says about the Defiant is going to be more valid than whatever Rick Sternbach says on the subject, even within the context of a manual, because Gary Hutzel is making VFX, while Rick Sternbach has zero input into the whole thing. Therefore, if the book is to succeed with us, Rick Sternbach would -have- to contact two main groups: the Visual Effects and the designers. Ideally, the entries would be reviewed by these people, however, a couple of phone-calls would also be sufficient. I mean, what's the next best thing to visually determining the origin of Defiant's phaser emissions? Knowing where a visual effects supervisor would put them in. If he doesn't have anything planned out, even a mere "we'll if I had to I'd put them riight here" would be valuable. And of course, increased interaction between Rick Sternbach and the Visual Effects works both ways, with the latter providing his tremendous background knowledge to the crew, which means better consistency for us poor analysts.
