[QUOTE]Originally posted by Ace: [QB] I checked it out at Barnes and Noble. It seems okay, but I was a bit disappointed that they didn't actually write any background info on the actual ship they listed for the class article (such as the [i]Majestic[/i] or [i]Honshu[/i]). I was hoping for some interesting anecdotes. Another issue is the specifications listed for each ship. The [i]Enterprise[/i]-E is listed as being pretty powerful, having Type XII phasers (I guess it's official, then) and all, and the Nebula class specifications seem a bit on the weak side compared to her Galaxy class cousin. I didn't really care to learn about the Midas Array or the Malon ship and would have rather seen sections on the Excelsior class and the other "First Contact" vessels like the Saber, Norway, etc. Speaking of the FC vessels, the Akira class is listed as having 15 launchers (it's official, again :) ) Last, they mention that the Galaxy class production run is on indefinite postponement. I hate the Sovereign (as in what it has done to the 'power' factor of the Galaxy)! Besides a few other quibbles, it seems a nice, but short, book (though I didn't get it as I was hoping for more orthographic projections and such). It's listed at $16.00 US, which is only $11.00 from the paperback [i]Star Trek: Encyclopedia[/i] and $8.00 from the [i]DS9 Technical Manual[/i], so it's a little on the expensive side. [/QB][/QUOTE]
