Butcher, Obvoiusly, you arent a hard core "Trekie", Im not either to the extent I have kept up with the "Trekie" cult throug the years, but I have from time to time ran across a lot of things that have been enhanced and embellished by those who can cite you word for word every Star Trek dialogue and perpetuate the love affair with The whole Star Trek adventure. None the least was a complete set of blueprints, specs, and schematics of the Starship Enterprise. I remember seeing it in one of the major book store chains at least 20 years ago. There were structural blueprints, propulsion specifications, electronic schematics, weapons systems, guidance systems, and just about anything one would need to build the Enterprise. As with anything else, just like the B-52 bomber, the Enterprise had many systems that simply became obsolete. This was most prevelant in the electronics, computers, guidance systems, and I'm sure some of the propulsion systems. Therefore, i'm sure that those who originally created the original plans ans schematics were asked to create the updates in order to keep the Enterprise "State of the art" relative to all the other Starships in the Universe. Bottom line is that this isnt anything new, as it is simply a continuation of something started years ago. Actually, having seen the original drawings and blueprints, I thought them to be quite engenious. Like us, the tractor lovers, Trekies find plenty to do with their spare time, and by the looks of things, they have plenty of it.
