Hey, everyone. I'm still messing with the basics on this site, but would really appreciate feedback on how it's coming together, what anyone would like, and so on.
Jaynz is, basically, my version of "Janes Fighting Ships" for the TOS-TMP period, heavily drawing on the fandom rather than later 'canon'. As such I want to handle a lot of the material the JFS handles for contemporary navies.
It's still very much in the rough and early stages... but that's probably a good time to get feedback.

Spam? Uh, how? He's contributed to Flare before, and is posting his Star Trek-related site in D, A, & C. How is that any different from, say, Masao posting links to the Starfleet Museum? I thought "spam" was anything non-Flare-related posted by a newbie on his first post.

The site's a nice begining - if you're going to use the same picture more than once, and maybe even if you don't, some verbage for each ship describing the design, etc., is pretty standard for a Jane's publication.
Nice site though....

Going verbatim for the definition of spam, it is posting a new thread for the purpose of advertising for a website. But we usually let it slide for established members.

Not that I have any kind of authority to say the rules suck (;P) but it seems like a personal Trek website posted in DAC is...sort of what DAC is for, isn't it? To post your artshit?

The rules don't suck, not by a long shot. All I'm saying is that I didn't think they applied in Vanguard's case.
Anyway, we're getting off topic. Cool site :-)

Off topic? On Flare? *clutches chest*
A good beginning. If fleshed out properly it should be a very cool site.

It should be placed on the sig of your profile.

Not a bad idea, and it's done. Yay!

Thanks! It's definately just a beginning, but I'm enjoying getting this together and honing my web-fu - to say nothing of trying to get so many pages of text organized!
quote:Originally posted by Vanguard: As for the Saladin and variants, they actually AREN'T the same image, though, yeah... kinda looks that way for those ships, doesn't it?
OK, but I'd still want some explanation as to why they were so similar and yet not just considered different "flights" (or whatever) of the same class. Not that such couldn't be explained.
Be nice excuse to throw in some other cool ship pictures, however. If you have access to them.
Have to go - large numbers of birds are invading my back yard and it may be time to flee!

Ah, I've got a HUGE gallery of ships to draw from and update, so the sheer amount isn't a trick. It's more fitting them in, and deciding which ones make sense, and which ones don't.
There are, by the way, some writeups avaialble on the articles for the ships already uploaded. Hopefully my fluency in typo isn't going to be an issue.
Not too bad Vanguard, should be good as it develops.
Maybe some images to give it some flavor, mini three view shots or something.
