Holy poo, this is great! Someone should ask Okuda if he knows anything about it.
Any speculation as to what the orange and yellow lines represent? Perhaps the courses of the cub and or fleets? If so, and if the white dots are starships, then it confirms the notion that the attack came in waves...

well, the graphic has the "starfleet command" logo on it, and i dont believe that was devised anywhere before the DS9 war arcs.. so this is an after the fact graphic.. add to that that its done in movie-era okudagrams, not accurate to the period. it does look nice though.

I think that graphic debuted in "Homefront"

SC Logo did appear from DS9's Homefront. Along with Erika Benteen and Admiral "I can run things better than the Federation Council" Leyton.

And, personally, I wouldn't want to pay almost $30 for something like that, either. Maybe you should fly to London and see it for yourself before uninformedly, unilaterally declaring that the reviewer can't possibly know what he's talking about.
Meh, I guess your right, I just have a thing against people who make such a big deal about spending money. And before you say OMG LEARN TEH VALUE OF DOLLAR, I know.
I heard that "the ST Adventure is bigger and has more props than the one in Las Vegas", if thats the case, its certainly worth a mere $30 to get in.

If you're lucky I will actually go and see this exhibition thing, in which case I'll try my hardest to get a photo of the list. I just hope you'll realise what a sacrifice it'll be on my part, given the negative reviews and all.

Well, Las Vegas wasn't worth the $25.

Upon looking at this photo & other concept drawings of the NX-01 by John Eaves, I have to wonder if he has ever actually seen an episode of TOS. Especially in the second concept, he seems to think that a vessel, which came 100 years before Kirk's Enterprise, should for some reason look almost exactly like Picard's Enterprise-E 200 years later, the only difference being the Cochrane-Phoenix nacelles. No wonder Drexler ended up using the Akira as a template - Eaves gave him the idea!

Looks more like the Ambassador-class IMO. Especially the front view.

This is a list of starships from the display at the exhibition, sent to me by Adrian Jones:
quote:Starships are: Klondike, Estaban, Watley, Volga, Tokyo, Everest, Maxwell, Gauss, Neptune, Vega, Pioneer, Nepal, Popovich, Falcon, Gemini, Vandenberg, Pueblo, Zetar, Peking, Beagle, Brahms, Rixx, Solaris, Khumbu, Shimoda, Marco Polo, Gage, Kyushu, Liberator, Melbourne, Saratoga, Tolstoy, Roosevelt, Ahwahnee, Bellerophon, Bonestell, Buran, Chekov and Princeton. Lalo is incorrectly listed instead of Liberator [taken from a shuttle from the scene]. And of course Endeavour was the only survivor.

Okay, so extracting the new names from that list:
Klondike Estaban - For Captan J.T. Eseban of the Grissom? Watley - For an Enterprise medical tech? Volga - For the river. Later a runabout. Tokyo Everest Maxwell - Probably NOT for Benjamin Maxwell of the Phoenix Gauss - For the magnetic dude Neptune Vega - Star about 26 ly away. Subject of Isaac Asimov's novel "Contact" Pioneer Nepal Popovich Falcon Gemini - For the constellation or spacecraft series Vandenberg - USAF space launch facility in CA Pueblo Zetar - The lights of, and the only "alien" name in this list Peking Beagle - Darwin's ship. Also in a TOS episode. Brahms - Likely NOT for Leah Brahms Rixx - For the captain of the Thomas Paine? Solaris Khumbu Shimoda Marco Polo
quote: Maxwell - Probably NOT for Benjamin Maxwell of the Phoenix
Maybe after the makers of a certain hot beverage?
quote: Zetar - The lights of, and the only "alien" name in this list
Other than the Rixx, don't you mean?
quote: Rixx - For the captain of the Thomas Paine?
I wouldn't have thought so, not unless he died in the few years between "Conspiracy" and BoBW. For all we know Rixx could be a fairly common Bolian family name or the good captain might have a famous ancestor.
