It's a game, so I'd be more inclined to put it in the Misc. section even though it's live-action video. That is, if I can ever find the damn pictures again. I saw 'em once online somewhere, but never again since... Anyone have the game and is willing to make a cap somehow? Is it more difficult than capping DVD?

I have ST:Borg too, but my XP has a hard time digesting it so its not as clear as a DVD. I also think I have the Shepard from ST4 saved in my flare folder from days of yore....
Lee, I think we should go with tabasco.phasers.net... Harry's image is just too cool.
The image sizes are okay at 720 tall - I'll see about re-sizing them properly. Please send them to mark daht nguyen aht shaw daht ca (take THAT, logical filters!).

I am probably getting ahead of myself and you guys but I have some more questions regarding this wonderful site. Are you going to include layouts of the bridges as well ala Gilso to see the arrangement or even go to a cutaway style ala Star Trek Fact Files/Magazine. If this is a future consideration, it would be cool since neither publication has not done anything new since the Scimitar bridge for the Japanese edition.

I was thinking that each entry would feature links to sites that host such pictures elsewhere, such as Bernd's site, so we can share the love. A link offsite to a good place with pictures of the actual ship would be worthwhile too.
But as an extension of that, I was considering including a quick & dirty overhead sketch of each set (where a complete set can be pieced together) where such pictures are available (or I'll whip something up myself). Lots of the bridges, especially the TNG ones are partial sets that have little more than a wall or two.
Besides that, I'm going to put the quick facts of each bridge for each entry, consisting of ship name, NCC, episode, in-context year, and a quick description of the set's origin and use. Here's a couple samples...
***
USS Lantree NCC-1837 Miranda class c. 2365
The Lantree was a "class six supply ship" whose crew was killed by an genetically engineered virus. The bridge was a partial set whose rear wall is actually the forward viewer from the Enterprise battle bridge set, with displays inserted.
Episode: TNG "Unnatural Selection" Set Group: A Captain's Chair: B
***
USS Enterprise NCC-1701-C Ambassador Class c. 2344
The fourth Federation starship named Enterprise was destroyed by the Romulans at Narendra III. The bridge was a spartan set with mostly movie-era displays, and featured an unusual free-standing console in front of the viewer.
Epsiode: TNG "Yesterday's Enterprise" Set Group: B Captain's Chair: D
***
Regarding the last two lines, I was thinking of adding some analysis by by cross-referencing where else the set that made the bridge has been seen as a bridge, and where the captain's chair has also been seen. The letters are arbitrary at this point, but for example Set Group A would also include the Stargazer and the original battle bridge, and Captain's Chair B would include whatever other bridges the chair has been used on.

If we're going with Tabasco (which is a cool name, IMHO), here's a proper site logo that does not so blatantly copy Tabasco's logo. Although in all fairness, it still does resemble their site's style. But we're quite obviously not dealing in pepper condiments, and it's perfectly legal to use the name of a Mexican state.

Awesome. But I still prefer the... "Homage"... Logo, as it's relatively identifyable. Is Tabasco known for going after people who make parodies of their logo for base amusement? It's not like this site will SELL anything...
The Green logo would do well as a link banner, though!

PS - It's "authoritative". Mind you, I didn't catch it the first time around.
