[QUOTE]Originally posted by Griffworks: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by CaptainMike: [qb] well, in the hierarchy of canon, the comics were officially licensed by Paramount, and all the stories were approved by lawyers and, when he was around, Gene's office.[/qb][/QUOTE]"Canon" is still defined as anything seen "on-screen". If you want to go with what was officially licensed by Paramount, you have to add a butt-load of stuff which is considered apocryphal by a great many fans: "StarFleet Technical Manual" (which means that you have to consider the Dreadnought, Destroyer, Scout, and Transport/Tug as canon), "Star Trek Blueprints - General Plans Constitution class U.S.S. Enterprise", every TAS episode ever aired, etc... Not a problem for me, as I love those designs, but you'll torque off bunches of other folks. ;) [QUOTE][qb]SotSF, while i love it, was made by a few fan-guys against paramount's wishes and they were later sued for it. i think that damages the credibility a bit. besides, i dont think its feasible to refit an Archon into a Connie.. its just a ridiculous concept.. there would be no original ship intact..[/qb][/QUOTE]There was a C & D (cease and desist) order issued, but no law suit that I've ever heard of. I'll agree w/you about refitting an [i]Horizon/Archon[/i] or even a [i]Baton Rouge[/i] into a [i]Constitution[/i]. Just plain silly, IMO. There are also no real world correlations to this that I'm aware of beyond the 20's when a cruiser was "converted" into a "carrier" by adding a platform on the bow of the ship. Not a major "refit", just addition of a flat top. [QUOTE][qb]BTW, on the subject of the TAS ship, it suffered from the same problems as the TOS footage.. a lot of the ship footage was traced from film of TOS.. some shots of the ship show the old pilot bridge, others show the regular series bridge.. im not sure, but i think TAS has a nacelle ball problem too. [/qb][/QUOTE]I believe you're correct. Still haven't pulled out my VHS tapes of TAS to verify, tho. I do seem to remember remarking to the room about that observation last time I watched the tapes, tho. [/QB][/QUOTE]
