Given the Venture's newer style of engine (same as the ones on the "future
E-D" in AGT), it's a potential candidate for being a second bloc ship.
Wonder if we'll get the names of the two Galaxy Class ships (and the two new
Defiant Class ships) seen in DS9's cliffhanger...

I saw on a TV talk with those 2 women hosts, you know the ones that do the
Palmotive delergent soap commericals ...anyways Shatner was on and mentioned
he was offered to do yet another book deal for 2 more Trek stories. BTW, he
looked really worn-out on that show maybe age is finally catching up to old
Kirk. Also, on that same show he was asked how he felt about the so-called
negative books passages that seem to put him in a bad light from other
members of the OST crew on books they wrote. he replied, "we were all having
fun in making the OST series" or something close to that. He further
mentioned, this I remember well, that Nimoy was the "flaugtess"(sp) one on
the series becasue of his diet tended to past gas alot. Oh well -_-_-Bill

assistant: Did anyone read the book The Return, and the sequel Avenger? I did and
I loved them both. if you are even a slightest bit of a trecky, you have
to read it!! The Return explains how they never found Kirk's body in the
movie Generations (Its actually th sequel to Generations), he was
actually beamed up by Romulans, saved by being modified into BORG, and
destroyed the Borg homeworld. The book Avenger explains how he survived
the death of he Borg homeworld-by these former Borg useing the Karta
(Vulcan mind-meld points), plus this liduid which he was submurdged into
to remove the nanites. He ends up in the book by going to Chal, and
spending the rest of his life with Telani.
The weird part was the Sarek didn't die of bendii syndrome...he was
poisioned. And the reason the title AVENGER was Kirk avenged the death
of Sarek

Yes, I seen that one and yes I'm sure they did the "wild thing".  Considering
that even Data experienced the sexual urges or plys from a willing female
while on the same topic. Odo is learning as any biological enity that these
things do happen as well having to eat, which was new to him too. The tailor
provided his 1st real clothing, thus everything was new to him, so it makes
sense that within time the sexual stuff had to be taken of. Sexual or not, I
don't see why he can't have a "mate" which can provide counsel and
companionship as anyone seems to need. -_-_-Bill

The info in the pack is from David Kimble, who did the working drawings for
the shooting miniature.  It jibes with his Imperial measure info on his
cutaway poster.  Shane Johnson took his measurements from that info, but used
an inaccurate conversion factor (3.25 feet to the metre instead of the more
accurate 3.28).

That would require time-travel.
Messy, especially, since the planet would no longer be the Machine World
encountered by Voyager 6 anymore, when Voyager 6 arrives at the planet. So,
you've built yourself a temporal paradox.

Defiant was caught in a dimenional interphase, and left into another

Yamato was destroyed by an alien probe (which just happens to come from the
civilization that the renegade Jem'haddar who blew up Upper Pilon 3 on DSN,
retrieved material to repair a farcasting portal of their manufacture)

Write your reply.

assistant: Well,
A) It's not a passenger liner
B) It's a small starship
C) It isn't the big battlewagons
So,
You have slow battleships and fast frigates.
You also have schooners and oil tankers.
Think of the Intrepids as the fleet footed lightly armed rapid response
patrol boats.
You won't get the same performance from your standard people ferry. Jetliners
don't travel at Mach 3.5+, but the SR-71 does.
The SR-71 doesn't travel at Mach 5, but the X-15 does.
Besides:
       We went from oceanliner
       To dirigeable (well, the rich people anyways)
       To piston engined transatlantic props
       To jetliners
With most people skipping the two inbetween.
       3 weeks versus 8 hours.
I think that's a dramatic increase.

Borg have transwarp conduits.
The second Federation starship in the Delta Quadrant is USS Voyager, the
first was USS Enterprise, who pursued Borg into the Delta Quadrant.
Borg ships have outpaced the Enterprise, and Voyager's top speed.
Lots of things are faster than Starfleet's ships.
