Picked up the latest issue, and just a couple of things. First, the warp nacelles of the Enterprise-D are examined, and we find out that the control room in the nacelles is actually in the back (some people weren't sure as to where it was located I believe). But the thing I really like was in the preview for the next issue, it says they are going to have blueprints and stuff for the S.S. Raven NAR-32450 (and yes, it says S.S., not U.S.S.!)
As for the rest of the mag, it has the following: Article on Klingon Love Poetry Interview with Tim Russ Information on the graphics for "Critical Care" Short interview with Rene Auberjonois Briefing on the Enterprise-D weapons systems, cargo bays, warp nacelles, impulse engines, deflectors, and biobeds. Pullouts of the Enterprise-D battle bridge, Picard's quarters, warp nacelle control room, and sickbay Interview with Johnathan Del Arco Behind the scenes on the designing of the Type-6 Shuttlecraft Briefing on Federation Legal Procedures, Federation Prisons, the Tantalus Penal Colony, and Elba II Interview with Doug Drexler Briefing on the Borg Queen's ship with the usual multi-color pullout showing 5 views. Behind the scenes on the VFX of "Fury", part II How to spot real Star Trek autographs Interview with Robert Blackman Briefing on standard issue equipment from 2266, including the phaser, tricorder, communicator, and a breathing apparatus.

Yep, those are the nacelle stuff, except ours are in English and have some other info with them.

Whatever class the Raven is, they were probably all freighters. The Raven was probably just modified for civilian use, with scientific equipment stuck in the bays.

That little symbol at the front of the nacelles; the red circle with a yellow arrowhead...doesn't that look like the symbol on the Constitution class Enterprise from the original series? (located on the sides of the engineering hull)
Judging by the registry #, the Raven could be a Surak Class ship.

I like the cargo doors on the bottom though. And where the heck have you been hiding these pics? We needed them earlier!

In my Fact Files folder # 4. The FF use the same illustrations as the ST Magazine, but the pro is, that they are published weekly, so I get the most pics long before they are published in the Mag.

If you mean NAR can be used on classes that Starfleet also uses, yes. There's an Oberth-class NAR.

Do Federation ships and Starfleet ships share the same numbering system? So when the Raven has NAR-32450, there's no Starfleet ship with NCC-32450? Otherwise you can't say what class the Raven maybe is.

As far as the NCC & NAR #'s being compatible: Maybe, maybe not. I was just going by the numerals, and on my rego section of my shiplist, the class with one of the closest registry numbers to the Raven (32450) is the Surak class Zapata (33184). The next possible class would be the Istanbul (34043, 34852, 38529). And before anyone says anything, yes, I know there's no hard evidence that registries are chronological. It's just my opinion.
I vaguely recall that the Raven's dedication plaque only had the name of the ship, and no other info. I could be wrong, though. Anybody have a 'cap?
