Okay gang. Rather than repeatedly emailing each of you the file due to tech problems (the files are huge), I have uploaded them onto my web site. The page is encrypted, and I will email each of you the address and password.
The images should be up at 11PM Wednesday night, EST.

Dammit, that's for Grammar Design and English Control to correct.

Having some trouble w/ the website. It's hard to isolate WHICH diagram I want to pull up -- they're all kind of jumbled together, and the top one (when I can find it) sends me to an error page ...

Well I got three of them. There seems to be something wrong with the first link. May just be some server delay so I will check back tommorow sometime. I too had difficulty seeing where the links were supposed to be, but I just "felt" my way through the jumbly linkables.
I will now start to sift through what David wanted me to concentrate on and see where we go from there. Who should I contact when I have something tangeble? David or Lance?

Occupation: Customer Service Clerk Hobbies: Used to do a lot of sketching (sometimes of a starship or two), but thats slipped to the way side. I used my graphite to sketch starhips and such, ala pre-production sketches. All around trek freakazoid, anal-rententive nitpicker from hell.
I best friend, Chris, from High School used to be quite handy with IMSI FLOORPLAN 3.0 for the purposes of starhip deck plans. Excellent interpretion of consoles, etc. He enjoyed printing them and binding them for great presentation. He got pretty damn good and taught me a few things. I have been mulling over my intepretation of the Office Complex from TMP for about a year now.
Chris also liked to right history's and technical data and I would peruse them, play devil's advocate to what I saw and read. I will direct him to this thread as well. Don't know if he would have the time/interest or not. But think he might be a positive contributor to this or future works.

First, I tried emailing the files to you all...that overloaded a few peoples in boxes and one has a MAC. So I posted them to my site. But the HTML text scrolled down the page vertically instead of horizontally, making the links jumbled. I fixed that, to the present state the page is in now, only to have Homestead refuse to publish the one file, the biggest one. When I went to reload the image, Homestead decided to close its services for the night! So, I have emailed the first image to all of those I have expressly been given permission to give them to, ie, those who have been welcomed into the group by Dave in this forum. Tomorrow I will finish uploading-slash-screaming at my computer, and all future group members can then access the images from that page. Again, all are now on the site, save one...which I hope to get up tomorrow. Sorry.

Um...could someone post a link to that .jpg? I can't seem to find it.
As for the bio:
Name: Chris Dennis Age: 20 Marital Status: Single Occupation: Jewelry Sales Rep Education: At the moment I'm a Junior at Texas Tech University, as an English major. That's not gonna last. Considering either Management Information Systems or Psychology at the moment. Hobbies: Reading books, usually Trek or David Weber (gotta love Honor Harrington novels!), surfing Trek sites on the web, watching recorded Trek eps, playing BC3K, tinkering with Photoshop 5. Personality: Thinker more than a talker. Just have to get my ideas on paper or ingrained in my head before they disappear. ST fan since I was about 8 or so. The tech has fascinated me since I bought "Guide to the Enterprise" by Shane Johnson. Yeah...the details were off, but the diagrams were pretty cool. But IMHO, the TNGTM beats any other *official* publication with a stick (read DS9TM). Though I admit that my dad's original hardcover Franz Joseph manual is cool.
And just in case it's been missed, I'm interested in working on Starfleet's ranking structure, and heirarchy. Always wanted to know how they were *really* organized. Instead, I can help make it up!
Of course, I'll also be glad to proof and nitpick wherever there's an empty hole to fill.

The "paff" sound you have just heard is my eyes & medulla oblongata exploding into a pink mist after having come home from work & finding FAR too much text to read.
Respectfully propose that all further concept details be handled via email...unless someone wants to throw up a dedicated blog.
I'll read everything later when I'm less tired & less angsty.

Geee, Why not, I dunno, call yourselves the "Strategic & Tactical Design Group," that way you'll be the "STD Group."
Just a thought.

The shield still has to be filled with something that is characteristic of the group (Intrepid image?). There would be some space left for a (Latin?) motto too.

Treknophyle: I 100% want a copy of Starfleet Prototypes and I 90% want a copy of your Enterprise deckplans. (I have Starfleet Dynamics already). I'm in London in the the UK so it's transatlantic shipping and mucking about with money orders (unless there's some way you can take credit card payments.) Contact me privately at [email protected] to thrash out the details.
On the subject of distribution, I got my copy of Starfleet Dynamics from Intergalactic Trading Company (online at intergalactictrading.com or scifistore.com) and they used to list Starfleet Prototypes until I order a copy and they realised it was out of stock. Did you mainly go through a distibutor or did you mainly deal with traders directly? I had some contact with Federation Frontiers a while back when they were looking for UK distributors/traders and I pointed them in the direction of a few but I don't know what, if anything, came of it.
