Now what was the word I was looking for to describe my "utter fanboy joy"?
Gagh? Pah? T'Phui?
The ships sound horrible, simply horrible. The one I had high hopes for was the Constitution rearrangement, because she at least should have had properly scaled parts (and I'm already accustomed to Connie kitbashes since the fan community has churned out so many of them). But I hate the idea that the nacelles really are mounted upside down, for no good reason. See "Ranger class light cruiser" at shipschematics for a better execution of that idea.
The Intrepid humping the A-wing may in fact be a very nice idea as such, but why the "#�&%/ does it have to have Constitution nacelles? With big Galaxy ones, the ship could in fact have been way cool.
One question about the Raging Queen - how are the primary and secondary hull connected? Drexler's drawing shows a weird unrecognizable part that barely touches the secondary hull. What is it? Is the secondary hull really hanging on just by the strength of that, plus the nacelle aft pylons?
I fear the worst for the three-naceller now. Since we knew the Centaur wasn't accurate, we could always hope the other ships looked better in RL, too. But based on all this, it may be that even the Centaur originally looked just like Drexler shows it, and was simply modified for the close-ups when the original shoddy work didn't suffice.
The only remaining decent design would be the "Jaeger class" thing, mating the Intrepid and Maquis hulls...

Thats great news indeed. I be interested in the pictures? I was wondering is there a chance in emailing them to the message board? Does the Constitution Class Variant have two or one nacelle? I wonder if we can make this topic go to nine pages?

Oh my god! OH MY GOD!
Any chance you can post them or email me? (I know, a dozen other pople asked this before, but you know how we feel! )
And the Queen could be the other Shelley from 'A Time to Stand'. Originally labeled Curry for foreground filming they relabeled it to represent the ship in the far background (you know, the one we only saw barely above that D7. As far as my research has gone, that is a variant of the Shelley-kitbash. The nacelles are too long to be the ones attached to the Curry, and the curry has definitely nacelle standard arrangements and not those nacelles turned 90�.)
Ha! I always said there are two Shelleys! Why did no one listen to me?
Oh happy day....

Sorry Kyle, but the damage pattern to the Raging Queen's saucer matches the ship we thought was the Curry.
My stupid Juno ISP apparently couldn't handle files of that size. For some reason, Drexler's JPEGs were outlandishly huge in kilobytes, so out of 16 pics, I only got 5. However, I saved them as bitmaps (making them even more huge), then resaved them again back to JPEGs. Somehow, doing that, the kilobytes shrunk immensely.
OK, I haven't asked him if it's OK to spread the pics around, but as a courtesy to my Wolf 359 team, I'm gonna send the pics to them first, as I trust these guys that they won't be distributed further. Again, once I receive all the pics, then I'll ask Drexler about showing them. Remember, I still don't want to needlessly bug him before I get all the goods.

I know my name is listed at the bottom of a few of the Wolf 359 pages, so I know I contributed.

So, you've saved 5 of 16 photos. Is there a chance that the other 9 will be resent or something?

Hey, if those arguments count, they I offer my Niagara-drawing for the page. How's that?
Or better: What do you want? I have some pretty rare images of Okudagrams and stuff. Or scans? Do you want scans? Just tell me what you need. Or I'll do a schematic or diagram for you. Or I write a text for you. Anything, but by god, tell me how I can get them!!!

I just e-mailed Bernd some new re-labeled screencap analsysis pics yesterday! Pleeeeeaaaaassssseeeee?
Y'know, you really don't have to use the word "distribute" (which might put his guard up). Why don't you just ask if you can post them on your message board?
