Thanks for the schematic image to www.shipschematics.net/. Database of canon and non-canon ship schematics collected from the internet, submitted by visitors, or scanned or created by the webmaster.

IMAGE ENHANCEMENT
I've "tidied" the image if/where necessary such as removing surrounding "noise". Where possible I've optimised it to make the Kb size smaller without affecting image size or quality, in order to speed up download time.

THE ORIGINAL SOURCE
The original source of many of the schematics on the above site is ST:M and/or TOSTFF; I believe this to be so because some schematics are identical to those I've scanned from those Paramount magazines, although I retain labelling (of warp engines, say). The above-mentioned site doesn't cite sources for individual schematics. You can find certain schematics from the above-mentioned site elsewhere on the web, but it's a good one-stop library well worth visiting.

CANON?

My only reservation is that certain schematics on the above-mentioned site are not canon.

Excerpt from the above-mentioned site's FAQ: "I also had a hefty collection of 3-D starship renderings from the internet; models that were completely different from most of the things I had in print, but they had no corresponding schematics associated with them. So began the schematics project. If I had them, I scanned them. If I didn't have them, I cut and pasted from other designs to make a good approximation of what I saw. ... I try as much as possible to keep the artist's original design intact. If it's some chincy pencil drawing that has potential, chances are I'll redo it to bring it up to the quality of the rest of the images in the database. Color images will be made greyscale (to maximize the detail perception). The bottom line is, I will try to keep all designs original, but I do reserve the right to make any changes/alterations to the designs as I see fit before making final submissions. So far, everyone who has submitted designs that I've had to change have thought my changes were better. "

I'm far from being an expert on Starfleet or spacecraft so my own preference would be for the source of each and every schematic to be cited so that I and other visitors can know for certain if it is from a Paramount publication. I found the above-mentioned site rather too late to make much use of it for my site but in view of the canon issue I shall continue to use ST:M and TOSTFF as a source for preference, as they are Paramount publications and because I choose to retain labels of warp engines etc. (Anything that appears on this site which isn't canon is here by my mistake.)

Despite the canon issue, the above-mentioned site is well worth visiting in order to see the webmaster's creativity.

NO NARRATIVE TEXT
The above-mentioned site doesn't provide narrative text - if you want narrative you'd need to look elsewhere for sites giving general information, such as this my site for ships shown on Star Trek: Voyager

- see ARTICLES INDEX, or sites dedicated to particular ships or ship classes. The Encyclopaedia is a good book source, for details about it and other sources please see SOURCES.
