Well, how much can they be trusted. Can they and will they honor Drexler's wishes?

well the last impression i got was that Drexler was OK with circulation, just as long as he wasnt the source (to avoid getting himself in trouble).. so we never tell anyone it was Drexler. But onwards from that, we hold a monopoly on some pretty nifty pictures at this board.. weve shared with each other, but are we allright with giving these particular prizes away.. the exclusivity could be used to advance our websites, etc,etc.. so I think im right in holding off on showing the general public.
thoughts?

Yes I remember that.
Not sure I agree with it. But one of the main reasons I enjoy being a fanboy is being able to tell somebody first when i know something. Im not saying we parade around like royalty, wearing silly gold jewelry and referring to ourselves with the Queen's we, but simply to get credit for the fact the we were involved in getting the pictures and analyzing them first. I know Dukhat has done the real footwork, but everyone in this thread has had a lot invested in the study of these pics.
and if you dont like the idea of us slaving over every detail of a bullshit model not even seen in the show, then back off.. reading about the work of the wolf359 project is what led me to flare, and im proud to be involved in such an activity, even if it does seem pathetic..
And I'm going to be pretty satisfied when i see my schematic stolen and used on a really bad UsS dEfinat roorZ and uSS aKirA rAwkS lololol* page.. :-)

See, this is where I start to smirk. You study cardiac muscle and Catalan and containment theory. You file your findings in fancy journals that end up in dusty corners of university libraries the world over. You discuss Star Trek ships, hopefully avoiding that pesky side-effect of giving yourself an aneurysm over how the Voyager primary hull shows up on an apparently older ship. And you toss it all out into the roiling expanse of the public domain, hoping some other similarly geeky person will further the discussion. Because we discuss because its fun, right?
DD was nice to us. DD is a nice guy. If niceness wishes to course across the face of the deep, let it.
And let's be blunt here. This place isn't hermetically sealed. Things will cross-pollenate shortly. It is the way of the web.

So we take it seriously.. i dont care whether you think its impressive or pathetic, im still going to take it seriously.. and I'm willing to distribute these freely.. i just want to see if anyone wants to organize the presentation, rather then just throwing them around.

I was just looking at that pic of the Constipation class above - and noticed something about the nacelle... in that why is it different at the front!?!
Then I realised I think the 'right/starboard nacelle' (the one closes to us) has had its 'bussard end' sliced off - and that 'coppery' part is the port nacelle!
Wierd!

i thought that might be case too, but stared at it for a while and dismissed it.. but look at how there is no difference between the bottom of the closest one and the bottome of what would theoretically be the front of the rear one.. theres almost no difference between the top and bottom of them.. it seems unlikely the angle would line up like that..

I haven't seen a schematic like that since RW...!
Any chance of making a schematic of this ship without battle-damage? Please?
I don't want to speak for him, but that ship is without battle damage!
You didn't ask Drexler if he knows the name of the 'Centaur', Dukhat?
I wonder what Okuda thinks about naming those vessels. Maybe he conciders some (if not all) of them to be the long-lost classes he invented/used for the encyclopedia.

I'll just say for the record that it's the U.S.S. Duckats, just so I can point to this post afterwards and say I was right all along.
