In late fall, the third edition of the Encyclopedia will come out. This edition will have 95 pages of additional information added on to the present text as a supplement. What new ships or classes do you think will be in the edition? And what are your hopes for the supplement?

Since it should include everything from DS9's War arc from ACtA to SoA and onwards, it'd better have a beastly huge amout of information on the Dominion War and the huge number of ships that fought in it.
However, being cynical in this venue, I will assume the worst, that it'll just have a bunch of non-data with pictures of those horrid ships from the DS9TM, until I see otherwise.

I tend to agree with you there First. No way in hell will it cover up to the end of DS9, and doubtless another version will be out as Voyager draws to a close. I'm gonna save my hard-stolen pennies. (And rely on you guys to post scans of any new pics! )

So they arent even gonna put the new info in with the old just stick it in the back? This seems slighty lazy to me. Its not as if they have to do it by hand...with a computer it should be fairly simple to add it in.

If they're just going to stick in a supplement, why don't they sell it spearately, so those of us who already have two encyclopedias don't have to buy a whole new one?!
BTW, that's a rhetorical question. I'm well aware that they're just a buch of greedy bastards who don't care what we want as long as they get more money...

Sorry, unfortunately neither will be in the Encyclopedia, since our cut-off for most material was well before the end of the season in order to meet the publisher's schedule. (We DID sneak in stuff from the end of DS9, but that was waaay after the book was turned in, and it caused the publisher no end of grief, although they agreed it was important enough, so they did it anyway.)

To everyone who includes a message from a production member. The message being sent and the message being received are two parts of the same document. When you present the document, include both messages. I have no understanding of what "Sorry, unfortunately neither will be in the encyclopedia..." means. What does neither refer to? If I saw the message being sent, I and others would know. If there is some information about yourself in the message, delete this information. However, keep the relevant portions.

Go over to the trek books page at simonandschuster.com and nag for it! I have!
(Unfortunately, the lady whose domain Trek reference books are apparently hasn't been able to see or answer messages there since last November or so. Their system's a mess, apparently.) (On the other hand, the public forum there is for posting on just about anything Trek book-related.)
