I think it's Star Trek: Starfleet Corps Of Engineers.

So just what kind of images does The Magazine have on the Niagra and Freedom? If they went to the trouble of including these obscure ships in the first place, one would HOPE that they at least get some updated schematics...

Why does everybody think that there'd be anything different in the Magazine from in the Fact Files? They're the same publication. Produced by the same people. The only differences are that (obviously) the issues are released on different schedules, (so one month's issue of the Mag won't necessarily cover the same ships as that month's corresponding FF issue) and the fact that the Mag additionally features behind-the-scenes and making-of articles, which the Fact Files don't.
They're not gonna bother to change the schematics...

I wouldn't quite say that, actually. Different arms of the same Viacom beast, yes, but while the Magazine tends to reuse Fact File material I don't think they're produced from a common office.

I just got the magazinelate yesterdy, and the schematics are clearly incorrect, and most likely Fact File reprints. The saucer is celarly wrong, since it shows an A-B section with a main shuttlebay at the reas, and the whole structure is shaped nothing like the Ambassador section Greag Jein used. The Niagara and Freedom saucers even have incorrect phaser strip placements. With all of this clearly incorrect, I'm not at all confident that they even got the saucer shape right, or if it is correct that we would be very confident about it.
Crud.
