Exceptionally crappy. Just slightly better than the disposable cameras toursits use. If I use the "zoom" feature all the black background I put in the photo breaks up into semi-pixilated blue and black mismash. Hence, no macro closeups yet.
My Razr phone will be unfinished metal, not pink. C'mon W2 form! Be in the mail today!

It's funny, my second reaction to seeing Jason's pics was, "somebody needs a macro setting." Alas, my first was, "That Mirandasior has a dong." No, but I don't know that I'll ever like this design. Jason's take on it is a decided improvement. The batwing para-Constellation looks to be a great model. I'm not too sold on the design.

We have the black Razor in the lab... I hate it... no phone should restart while you are in the middle of a phone call.
I kinda prefer the Samsung A900 more but the battery sucks on it... less than an hour using the Sprint Power Vision for data and about an hour for talk time.

I've got a new SLVR L7, no problems so far (except for no notes function), and you barely notice it in your pocket.

My neighbor has a Razr- he de-installed all the pre-loaded crap in there, added memory and now has like 50 megs of memory to use for pics and songs and other genberally non-phone related worthless shit.
Hmmm....reaction to the Stachran design has been lukewarm at best. Odd, as most people really dig the Larson (which is what it's an update on) but I generally don't. I'm mostly keen on itt's Excelsior impulse engines on a modified Connie Refit saucer.

The biggest beef I have with this design is the fact that normal convention has the engineering section in the secondary hull. If the ship does not have a secondary hull then the warp core would most likely be in the saucer section. Much like your other design. But here, as the nacelles are located in the saucer section that would most likely imply that the M/A reactor assembly would be there as well. To have the M/A reactor assembly in the secondary hull would mean that the warp conduits would run all the way through the ship and in the saucer section.... does not seem quite effective for me.
I've always had the impression that the Shelley class is more like an oversized Oberth. That design would also allow for the nacelles to be connected directly to the secondary hull, but at the same time, how do the people get from the saucer to engineering anyway?

People get from one section to the other via the Excelsior "neck" -which is still present, just moved back towards the aft of the ship.

Good news! My photographer friend was in town yesrerday and snapped these pics:
Soo much of an improvment- that whole "focus" thing really pays off, I guess.

Well, she's still ugly from the side, but yours looks much better than the ones we saw on screen. (Although I may still be dissapointed from expecting new ships, or even Norway's or Ambassadors instead of ugly kitbashes like 3D photoshop monsters. Bitch over, go about your bussiness people.)

Cool....but "Van Helsing" might be considered a human rescourses snafu to all the vampire-looking races of the Federation.
Mabye they solely fight Remans?
Gimmie some LCARS! I defy anyone to come up with an MSD for this class (gotta have the whole "through deck carrier" feature though.
