I always believed the ship wasn't supposed to be Starfleet until they decided otherwise for Dark Frontier. It would have made more sense, since I would expect a Starfleet crew on a Starfleet ship. In addition, there was no necessity to make it a USS.

I found the EncycIII today, haven't acquired it yet, though. I never bought the EncycII so it wouldn't be a loss to me, except that there are other books I'd like to see first.
I'm dissapointed in you, I really am...Seriously. Nobody even mentioned the fact that it was Doug Drexler who designed the Chaffee. Which makes it all the more likely that the shuttle is a tad over seven meters long, as shown in the Defiant blueprints.
BTW, our Dick Tracy makeup artist who became a scenic artist is now working as a CGI artist for no other than Foundation Imaging. Mike Okuda mentioned that yesterday in the chat, and it was to be expected after he did some prelim-shapes of the Breen ship for CGI folks to build on. I seriously feel the need to contact this guy...

Anyone scan in the dedication plaques for the USS Prometheus, the Cousteau, the USS Defiant NCC-75xxx, or the USS Sao Paulo? I was wondering if someone did already.

So what new registry/class information was included in the new Encyclopedia other than the stuff about the Raven, etc.

As for new ship pics, there are none. Just Nebulas, Mirandas, and Excelsiors.

Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot. There is the Dominion Dreadnaught (warship as they call it), color pics of the Son'a Science, Command (Scout), and Cruisers, yet no fighters. Also, a picture of a Defiant class ship labeled as USS Valiant, the new Romulan Shuttle, the Type-10 Shuttle, and a Caatati ship (which I don't remember).
I also forgot there is the plaque for the USS Valiant

The Caatati ships were in Voyager's "Day of Honour" (*ducks from Krenim wrath at the mention of that episode*). They used thorium isotopes to power their ships' systems, and Seven provided them with a converter so that they could get their crippled fleet up and running... Right?

Um... I can't get the new Encyclopedia yet... damn US release schedules. However what I *DO* have is a load of official exterior schematics, including the Prometheus and the Dauntless. As soon as I get my new PC working I will scan them. (Damn Windows '98. I only had it 2 days and already it is so screwed up! Note to Bill Gates: "From Hell's heart, I stab at thee; for hate's sake, I spit my last breath at thee.")
I'm thinking of putting them on a website. I'll keep you all posted, but copies of those MSDs would be appreciated!
