60 Ship Statistics AbsolutelyNonCanon Mini-FAQ
(updated January 19, 1994)
Includes:
Klingon Bird of Prey (TFS/TNG)
Oberth Class (TFS/TNG)
Klingon D-7 Battlecruiser (TOS)
K't'inga Class (TFS/TNG)
Constitution Class (TOS - pre refit)
Constitution Class (TFS - post refit)
Galaxy Class (TNG)
Given that the wait before we see an "official" (Okuda & Sternbach)
publication giving detailed information about various starships,
I thought it'd be interesting to see what we can come up with on
rec.arts.startrek.tech. So here's a call for submissions for a
Ship Statistics AbsolutelyNonCanon Mini-FAQ. Any sources are
accepted: ships from the series with stats from another source,
FASA, Starlog, your own creations, books... anything you want!
TOS, TFS, or TNG era, or ships from pre-TOS era or the time between
TFS and TNG, anything is fine.
Here's a suggested format, loosely based on the format of the TNG
Tech Manual. Suggested as in "please suggest improvements to the
format", not "oh, lemme send in these scribbles I jotted down one
day, close enough." I'll get the latter whipped into shape, but
it might take a few months. Duplicate entries will be merged and
hacked into place, with completely arbitrary decisions as to
which gets precedence. Likely, I'll just merge the two and give
two sets of stats.
If you can't draw ASCII pictures, I'll try to put something I've
drawn in. Or you can describe it really, really well and I'll try
to draw something. Bribes help a lot with the latter. :)
I'd also like comments on the idea as a whole. What should be
changed? Should I be more fascist about entries? Less fascist?
