Unfortunately, Luke, you are incorrect.  The Enterprise-B was, indeed, in
Generations, in the initial sequence where Kirk is lost.  The reason that the
Okudapedia does not reference this is that the book was published *before*

Trek: Generations" released in 1994.  It is indeed an Excelcior-class,
though signifigantly modified.  This contradicts the relief-models seen

assistant: Well if memory serves, about a year and a half ago, they were building a
starship on a stage just south of the Voyager stages.. very interesting,
definately non-trekish design..  and I watched the construction from time to
time.. then the thing was gone one day. I wondered about it since. I finally
just found out about the project. Shelved. Sorry.
However it was more towards a Star Wars orientation then Star Trek.

Interesting discussion on the Defiant... Cisco "is" supposedly one of the
designers or will be as soon as it's doncumented. They're working on some new
documentation during the hiatis..
I tend to think that the "Defiant" will definately be seen more, with more
ships from the conversation.
Hmmm the ship I saw being built on one of the stages about a year and a half
ago was part of a project called "Osiris" or something like that. It was more
"Star Wars" related then "Trek". The project had casting problems.. then
budget problems and was shelved, the set was torn down.
Sternbach popped in during the conversation..  got quite a laugh from him,
nice guy.
One of the guys is a heavy sci-fi freak.. just found a model of the flying
sub from VTTBOS and he has blueprints for the seaview! Chuckle.
DS-9 ops is getting a rebuild as is normal, and ST:the next movie is in
"discussion" at the moment.
That's about it.. I need to hit the sack.
OOHH YES! INteresting note about Trials and Tribulations:
It you look closely at the "new" K-7 station.. there's a bay at the bottom of
the stations with a standard TOS style shuttle in it and also Cyrano Jones
ship. On the wall in the back of the bay a sign reads: "Welcome to K-7, now
go home." :)

Write your reply.

assistant: Nice to know that they're going to give us more info about the Defiant.  In
the episode The Search, Part 1, when the Defiant first appeared, Sisko
indicated that he'd been in charge of the shipyard where it was built, so it
would make a lot of sense for him to have been heavily involved with its
design, and we've been assuming this all along.
The Flying Sub was rereleased a couple of years ago, so it's not difficult to
find.  If he's building the Seaview to scale with the Flying Sub model
(1/72), it'll be one *BI-I-IG* model.  :-)  Sounds like the project a friend
of mine wants to do - a 1/48 TOS Enterprise, which would be on the order of 6
metres (20 feet) long.
I figured it would when Kira gave the order to the 'puter and all the control
screen blew up.
I'd heard about this.  Too bad it wasn't visible on screen...

assistant: error",
     Definately...!  He is such a passionate, intense and focused actor, no
 matter what role he is doing, and with Spock, I don't think that anyone
 else could have done as well with it.  "Amok Time" was just an opportunity
 for him to add yet another dimension to this blossoming character.  It was
 one of the few times we got to see an emotional response out of the
Vulcan...!
 But yes, I think that it is one of my favourites for that reason, and also
 for the fact that I guess you could say I am a little biased where Leonard
 Nimoy is concerned.  I have enjoyed watching everything he has done, even
 before and away from Star Trek...
