ANYway....
I think someone mentioned the Smithsonian Orbital Annex earlier...what of other "institutes o' importance?" The Vulcan Science Academy, the Daystrom Institute, etc.
Is there a "Federation Red Cross?" Do they do relief work on Cardassia? What about a Peace Corps?
What do concerts look like in the 22nd, 23rd, & 24th centuries? Is there still places like Tanglewood, or are there neat-azz rock concerts like Sharon Apple's show in "Macross Plus?" Are missile fields on the "Register of Historic Earth Places?"

Dunno how he's gonna do it, but he bought the rights to do so. But right now he's working on (or was) an IMAX movie following the first mission to Mars.
Cool shit.
Oooh, another idea, Mojo: the landing of the first Martian colony(ies); featuring everybody's favorite multigenerational famous family; the Picards.

Mojo, tell me, do you ever read your messages?

Oh, he's probably hard at work rendering hordes of Andorian battlecruisers. Give the man some slack...

Eventually I get back here to read the mail :-)
Actually, I've been VERY hard at work finishing up the 2003 Ships of the Line calendar. I may end up eating these words (you lot are a tough bunch to please) but I do believe it is the best one by far. The images are turning out just spectacularly and I think the concept is working better than planned.
Anyone who had a beef with the 'artistic' concept of the 2002 edition will be pleased to know that we're back to nice, horizontal shots of full-screen ships again.
However, I will tease you all and say there's not a SINGLE shot of a ship in space :-)
Ok, folks, I need your help doing research for the UNSEEN FRONTIER book. I'm currently hard at work on the outline, and YOU can have an impact on it! Have your voice heard and your wishes granted!
The toughest chapter for me to outline is THE DOMINION WAR. Partly because it is such a complex beast, but mostly because - and don't hate me for this - I haven't seen every DS9 episode a dozen times.
This weekend I am going to sit down with a pile of DS9 tapes and a LOT of cheese doodles and figure out just what the hell to do with this chapter.
How can you help, I hear y'all murmuring?
Well, I'd love for each and every one of you to post what YOU think the most important dozen-or-so episodes are in the Dominion War saga. The episodes that tell the meat of the story and feature the all-important ACTION that we want to see in this book!
Also, feel free to list major events (either seen on the show or NOT seen) that you'd like to see covered in the book. Obviously I'm looking for moments that are important to the story but also visually compelling. The Breen attack on San Francisco and the big battle in 'Sacrafice of Angels' are examples.
And don't bother nitpicking each other's posts - I want your personal, individual opinions. My job is to consider all the options and choices and pick what I think works best.
So rev up your keyboards, lend a hand and help make this the best Trek book ever.

Not actually in keeping what you asked for Mojo but I just have to say this. I would like to see Cyrano Jones ship the Spacematic from "Trials and Tribbleations", it�s such a fun ship
Btw, Mojo, thanks for checking your messages I actually had your emailadress, but that didn�t work, wierd, it worked when I sent you that pic of the klingon ship from "All good things.." Btw, I have better caps now...

- Death of the Defiant - Beginning of battle in "Sacrifice of Angels" - Arrival of the Klingons in "Sacrifice of Angels" - Breen Attack on San Francisco - Dominion ships last stand at Cardassia Prime - Orbital bombardment of Cardassia Prime - Cardassia after the bombardment - Federation Fleet destroying Dominion Shipyard in "Call to Arms" - The 7th Fleet getting it's ass whooped in "A Time to Stand" - Battle of Betazed
Even the ones we DID see on TV would be nice to see in a more artistic portrayal.

Stuff from "In The Pale Moonlight." Picking through the wreckage of Vreenak's shuttle, the signing of the treaty of alliance with the Romulans (or Proconsul Neral's "televised" speech on it?), the first Romulan attack on Dominion holdings.
During "Sacrifice Of Angels," there was a hole unseen part of the battle after Defiant shot through the ranks.
The attack on the Torros III Dominion shipyard that Sisko mentioned at the end of "Call To Arms."
The actual destruction of the Honshu by Cardassian attack fighters from "Waltz."
I'm more of a "little thing" person though. I want to see LT Vilix'pran's budlings. I want to see stuff from the Klingon Conflict of 2372-73. There's lots of little "holding action" battles that were one-line mentions from the Dominion War Those would work, too.

Wow . . . this is the coolest thing I've ever seen. I'm the new guy asking: 'Where were these forums all my life?' :-D haha
I've got to agree with the fellow who mentioned "In the Pale Moonlight" . . . and also a great deal of "Siege of AR-558". Not only is there ground combat galore, but you also get to see the grittier, tough-as-nails "counselors be damned" side of the fleet.
