That's a great image! You should really try to make an animation if possible... you're computer can't be THAT old, can it?
Question: I've seen a good many sites for "Starship Troopers" that have spelled the ship name "Rodger Young" -- but shouldn't it be "Roger Young"?

I like, regardless. Is this a graphic of how things are, were, or will be? And assuming the little red Xs are where Klingon ships are disabled or destroyed, would a Federation-class dreadnought be really that powerful?

Ritten: I'll have a look at Flash and see what I can come up with.
MinutiaeMan: Sol System is correct and I have my copy of "Starship Troopers" sat on my shelf to prove it As for the animation, it's not that my computer is old it's just that I only have Animation Shop Pro (an add on to PSP) which is only really useful for banners.
Masao: Good suggestion, I'll give it a whirl.
Mark Nguyen: I'd class this as an historical file, perhaps something a Cadet is required to study. Of course I could have done it in the more familiar TNG LCARS style but I decided that the old movie stlye looks better for this sort of thing. So I suppose that makes this a vintage historical file, from a 24th century perspective
As for the firepower of the Federation-class; bear in mind that this is supposed to represent one of my updated dreadnaughts which have a few extra weapons than FJ's original, including 4 or 5 torpedo tubes and a pair of heavy phaser turrets. Combine with this the element of surprise and an inventive Captain then it doesn't seam quite so unlikely, especially if I write in something about the ship having to spend the next 3 months in drydock.

That is just wonderful looking, although I have one suggestion and that would be less yellow. I don't seem to remember the Movie LCARS having that much yellow in them (generally they were just shades of blue and green with white).

I think it's fine as it is. i've always prefered the movie style LCARS to the TNG ones. I like the idea of a combat report kinda thing like this as well.
