[QUOTE]Originally posted by Phelps: [QB] No, but it does have a surprise foldout with five-view blueprints and a cutaway of NX-01 Enterprise, complete with all the specifications, deck charts, etc. Jokes aside, the book doesn't suck at all, it's unusually accurate, well designed and written, but there's hardly anything you don't already know, unless you consider non-canon tech fandom style info "new". What wouldn't suck for *me* is if Foundation had filled the four pages/ship with 1) five-view drawings or CG views 2) specifications obtained from visual effects charts and Rick Sternbach's blueprints that Foundation must have, as well as analysis of actual CG sequences they made (now where did that torpedo come from? Look it up in LightWave!) 3) Behind-the-scenes info on how the models were built, who built them, etc. That's something I'd expect Mojo to know and something he could do very easily, yet be unable to reveal due to proprietary restrictions, commercial value, and simply a lack of demand. We're a minority -- most fans would prefer the book as it stands. [/QB][/QUOTE]
