Saw version 3 of the Encyclopedia today. Would have picked it up too, if it weren't for the $60 price tag. Not much as far as starships go in the supplement section. We see the dedication plagues for the Valiant, the Prometheus and the Cousteau. There is an entry for the Nautilus (and I would assume the ShirKahr as well). The entry for the T'Kumbra doesn't give a registry. The only artwork for the entries on the Dauntless and the Prometheus are pictures of the MSDs. The picture from the DS9TM is used for the entry on the Centaur. The comparison chart is put in the supplement section but remains unchanged. The Dominion battlecruiser is still upside down. There is a side-view picture of the Dominion battleship, called simply the warship. Also color topviews of Son'a ships. All in all I like the supplement section but is it worth 60.00?

That was the name of the D's, wasn't it? *scratches head*
Where'd this name come from, anyway?
And why does a fancy runabout have a dedication plaque?

The first Captain's Yacht was unofficially called "Calypso," for the research ship commanded by Jacques Cousteau. Going by tradition, however, it should have been called the Captain's Gig.
Cousteau, of course, is obviously for that famed oceanographer.
How it rated its own dedication plaque? Beats the heck outta me.

Well, I could've guessed it was named after Jacques Cousteau, but I was wondering where the non-canon name came from. What's the authority on it...?
Guess I wasn't all that clear.

It says the Raven is a Starfleet ship, and the NAR registry was sort of a mistake.

The Raven's registry was a mistake? My @ss!!! It was NAR in "Raven" and even when the ship was sketched out in "Dark Frontier" it said NAR in the storyboards. Anyone scan the MSD of the Prometheus or of the Dauntless yet? I'd like to have it.

The art department. See, there's the problem; artists are in charge of technical details. The world needs fewer artists.

Sounds to me like it was a general mistake. They didn't know they wanted it to be a Starfleet ship back then.
