25.11.01
While I'm at it: Romulan ships.
24.11.01
Official opening of the extended Starship
Database which, in some remote future, will have drawings, data and comments
on all ships that ever appeared in Star Trek. Right now, I have added the Klingon
and the Pre-Federation pages. Note that the
database is under permanent construction. I am grateful for any additions and
corrections, but please don't expect me to come up with the missing pages too
soon.
17.11.01
Update of the ASDB with new
images in many sections. See also the new Java
class container ship at the EAS Fleet
Yards.

Ice" is available. Weiterhin gibt es einen Artikel
über die Trill.
13.11.01
The site search engine by siteLevel
is now operational.
12.11.01
The site search is down. Since no one at Freepolls seems to
care about the problem, I have registered for another free
search engine, but it hasn't begun spidering yet.
07.11.01
Late as always, here is my review of "The
Andorian Incident".
06.11.01

There is a new and improved version my Hannibal
class. I am also in the course of improving and
supplementing my TOS episode guide.
21.10.01
Thanks a lot to Thomas, who has agreed to host my galleries at
concept40.com. I
have taken the opportunity and made a few updates. You find
the galleries here.
Thanks also to the other visitors who had many useful
suggestions.
18.10.01
The galleries are down (again), and they won't return until
I have found a permanent solution to my pressing webspace and
traffic problem.
17.10.01
I am alienated about a recent petition with thousands of
signatures to change the Enterprise title theme, which (in
contrast to the horrible Akiraprise) IMHO perfectly suits the
series. Please go to the petition
to keep the theme!
16.10.01
Uploaded review of "Strange
New World".

There is a new and improved version of the Himalaya

Award for his site, Star
Trek Fr! Please take part in the new

Due to popular request, here are reviews of
"Broken
Bow" and "Fight or Flight".
03.10.01
The Starfleet Museum will
celebrate its second anniversary on October, 10th. On this
occasion Masao has created countless new ship patches, and
there are some fantastic 3D scenes of the Lancaster
class by Thomas Pemberton. The page structure has been
rearranged too for faster loading. At EAS, there is finally an
episode section about DS9. I hope I will
get the reviews of the final season done soon.
30.09.01
Added Voyager reviews from
"Lineage" to "The Void".
26.09.01
Big update of the ASDB with many new images, especially of the
Bradbury and Merced
3D models, and dozens of new sketches. Several new images in
the EAS Fleet Yards too, thanks to
Bob, Brian, Jay, and Peiper!
25.09.01
My complaint about the new Enterprise ("Akiraprise")
as being too new has been printed in the recent Entertainment
Weekly magazine (see scan,
thanks to Shik). Here's the link
to the petition also mentioned in the article.
23.09.01
I'm back with several updates on the links
page and my delayed but cordial congratulations to Tara O'Shea,
of Star
Trek Voyager - Lower Decks, who wins the EAE
Award for September 2001. As the premiere of Enterprise is
approaching, I have set up an Enterprise
FAQ to explain my criticism about the new series. I don't
mean to offend visitors who are looking forward to it, but
just don't want to answer always the same questions again and
again.
13.09.01
This is not the time to go back to business as usual. I have
written down a few thoughts
about September 11th which may offer a positive perspective
for the future.
11.09.01
My condolences to the victims. And death to the cowardly
bastards responsible for it!
08.09.01
Happy Star Trek Day! Unfortunately I'm currently unable to
celebrate this event the way it would deserve. Read here.
Thanks to Starfleet Command
Quadrant 2 for their award!
06.09.01
Please take a few seconds for the new poll
about Enterprise.
04.09.01
New reviews of "Flesh and
Blood" and "Shattered", the latter supplemented
with an analysis of the time
travel problems.
31.08.01
The Wolf 359 Project has
grown to a size where it can't be presented on one page any
longer. I have divided it into pages about individual ships.
There is some new information too, and Masaki's illustrations
how the ships were built.
28.08.01
Starfleet Museum update -
added several new images and a page about the patrol
ships of the Archer class and Curran class. Special thanks to Jay and Thomas!
27.08.01
I have been planning book reviews
for a long time, which I will now do with the help of my buddy
Thorsten. Ein neuer deutscher Artikel befaßt sich mit Zeitreisen
in Star Trek.

Working off my to-do list, I have made many small corrections
and updates, mostly in the Inconsistencies

new ideas.

As long as I don't have the time to add it, visit Starship
Class for new information about the Wolf 359 ships.
05.08.01
Become a Star Trek author! Try the new "T-Race
Generator".
04.08.01
New reviews of "Body and
Soul" and "Nightingale", and changes to the
links.
03.08.01
I have rearranged the Inconsistencies index to facilitate additions, and made
a few updates to the section. Congratulations to Star Trek Dimension for being
online for two years! See Christian's Birthday
Special with several new features.
31.07.01
I will post occasional TNG reviews, beginning with three
episodes of season 3.
30.07.01
I have just moved my office, and it may take a few days until
the next update. Thanks to Bravo
Fleet for their award!
23.07.01
New reviews of "Critical
Care" and "Inside Man". A couple of new images
in the Starship Gallery. Several links
removed, added or updated. The poll
and the petition
stay open.
16.07.01
I have added several new images to the starship
list. Thanks to Masaki and Reverend! There are two new Voyager
reviews of season 7. Congratulations to Starship
Class and Copernicus
Ship Yards who win this month's EAE
Award.
09.07.01
New poll. You may guess what it's
about. Here's a petition
I have decided to support. It won't help to get rid of the
Akiraprise, but may at least tell TPTB that not everyone devotedly
follows their silly ideas.
08.07.01
The Enterprise is the Akira! I have never been so alienated
about anything in Star Trek. Read here.
EAS Today has been updated. Thanks
to Angel Swan for
her award!
02.07.01
Added names registries and new patches to a couple of ships in
the Starfleet Museum. In the
EAS Fleet Yards, the Ajax class,
Lincoln class and Lincoln
class refit have new detailed schematics. Thanks to Star
Trek Info for their award!
25.06.01
Gallery update with 130 new images,
mostly weapons, devices and rooms.
19.06.01
After some down times and error messages, the Galleries
are working again. Major update to come in a few days.
18.06.01
Finally an update to the ASDB. Special thanks to Bob for his
great 3D models of the Mediterranean,
Renaissance, Istanbul,
Yorkshire and Surak.
Free or inexpensive services and nothing but trouble: Read my rant on EAS
Today.
15.06.01
Thanks to Star
Trek Sims Recruiting Network where EAS is Website of the Month, and to the Alpha
Quadrant Sim Group for their Latinum Award!
11.06.01
New 3D ships in the EAS Fleet Yards and the Starfleet
Museum. Thanks to Jay, Thomas, Fabio, and Giorgio! The Kestrel
class is presented with a long article.
05.06.01
I have compiled a brief History of the
Star Trek Universe, listing fairly all events from the Big
Bang to the 31st century. Thanks to USS
Hyphron for their Latinum Award!
Außerdem gibt es noch einen Artikel über die Klingonenmutation
aus der Jahresausgabe von Star
Trek Weekly.
31.05.01
Read the
extensive "Endgame" review at Star Trek Dimension. Congratulations to Brian
Matthews of Stone
Trek, winner of the EAE Award
for June 20001 B.C.!
30.05.01
Updated EAS Today. Do you think
Star Trek is too American? Discuss at the SCN.
28.05.01
Added reviews of "Unimatrix Zero" and "Imperfection".
25.05.01
I have made a few updates to the Starship Articles.
Thanks to Starfleet Databank for their award!
21.05.01
Added a few images to the Galleries, such as a
rendition of Quark's
Bar.
19.05.01
Added a new page called EAS
Today with the TrekToday headlines, a more or less regular
editorial, and other features.
17.05.01
Still three more bridge
diagrams: Enterprise-C, Jem'Hadar ship, Dauntless. Enjoy!
16.05.01
Now that it's official, tell your opinion about
"Enterprise" in the new poll.
Due to popular request I have enabled the access to the bridge
diagrams again, they are now back on the glorious EAS main server. Due to
Stratospheric problems it may happen that large files are not completely
downloaded from there, because the server simply ends the transmission after a
timeout of only a few seconds. In such a case, please try again. I affirm
that the upload was complete.
15.05.01
It sucks! The image galleries have been down for almost two days, and now the
download size limit of MyToday has been
decreased to 200 kilobytes. This means that most of the bridge
diagrams can't be downloaded. I'm tired of moving
everything around every few days, so they will stay offline for the time being.
One request: Please don't mail me with suggestions to move to another server -
well, unless you run a server yourself. I know there is no free provider with
conditions that suit my needs, and with domain hosting I would have to pay a
fortune for the traffic of EAS.
14.05.01
Eight new bridge diagrams are up.
Congratulations to Mark who wins the EAE Award for
his site, TrekMania.
11.05.01
It's official. The TOS prequel "Enterprise" has been
announced by Paramount. Read the full story at TrekToday
and my comment.
I think that the new series will most likely damage the spirit
of 35 years of Star Trek and will completely destroy
its consistency. From what we know so far it's also one of the
least imaginative science fiction premises ever. Sorry, but I
don't have much hope. I can't help feeling this will be the
end of Star Trek.
08.05.01
I have added the three missing seasons of the TNG episode
guide.
30.04.01
I'm more than concerned about the new Pre-Starfleet series
"Enterprise" which is taking shape - although not yet officially
confirmed. Read my objections.
27.04.01
Thanks a lot to Dan who has agreed to host the uncompressed fleet
charts. Visit his site, Star
Trek Minutiae!
26.04.01
That's the last straw! Geocities really pisses me off. For the
second time in only a few weeks they have deleted all files in
my account and disabled the upload. This time I even obeyed
their "friendly reminder" - which I received
although I had already uploaded all the files - and used their
silly page builder to prove I really want to maintain a site
there. Since all attempts to move the large fleet charts in
TIFF format somewhere else failed due to file size limits, I can no
longer offer them for download.
23.04.01
Grand opening of the new EAS Galleries
with currently 550 images, covering all aspects of Star Trek.
Thanks to MyToday,
where the galleries are hosted for free without ads.
Considering that they must exist, I have added all ships from
Wolf 359 to my official ship
list. The Starfleet Museum
shows two new previews about Starfleet
transports and Klingon
ships. I have also added an illustrated history
of this site. Außerdem gibt es noch einen neuen Artikel
über Computerprobleme.
20.04.01
New poll: Which season of DS9 did you enjoy most?
19.04.01
All links reviewed and updated.
17.04.01
I have added an article about the locations of Jefferies
tubes on Starfleet ships.
12.04.01
Several new ship patches in the Starfleet
Museum and some smaller changes and updates. Check my
latest version of the Mosquito
class and see the model of the Asia
class refit Jay Hagen has created for Starfleet Command.
Thanks to Ben for his bridge
comparison chart. Thanks to Lenny for his great top view
of the Akira class. Congratulations to TrekToday,
winner of the April 2001 EAE
Award! Happy Easter! I will be offline for a couple of
days.
05.04.01
It's sickening! It's a complot! Once my domain is running again, I have
discovered that Geocities has deleted my free account where I was keeping the
fleet chart downloads, and that Nedstat has messed up my counters. Never get any
free web services! Once you have them, you won't have the time to do anything
else but fix them!
02.04.01
Everything seems to be up and running again. Thanks a lot to Lucutus
and to Tango Fleet for their awards!
30.03.01
While I'm writing this, the EAS domains are down for 78
hours, because the "routine maintenance" of the
server at Strato ended up
in a disaster once again. 1.7 million customers are offline
too, because Strato has no backup system! Of course, I could
change my ISP, but I checked and there is absolutely no chance
to get the unlimited traffic EAS urgently needs elsewhere -
it's currently 20 gigabytes per month which would ruin me if I
had to pay for it. Thanks for your understanding.
22.03.01
Still more new stuff in the Starfleet
Museum. Now almost 50 new images altogether!
21.03.01
New in the Starfleet
Museum: 3D scenes by Thomas, Fabio, and Brian, plus countless
ship patches by Masao. Thanks to Fredy
for his award!
19.03.01
Some new scans in the starship gallery, most notably five-view
schematics of the Dauntless,
and a terrific image of the Enterprise
and Excelsior in the spacedock (Due to the server timeout
the image may not load completely - please try "reload" in this case). Many thanks to
Quark's, to Trekstation
and to Trekiweb
for their awards!
13.03.01
Congratulations to Benjamin who wins the EAE Award
for his site Sektion 31.
12.03.01
I hate scans with page folds, so it took some efforts to
remove them from the Saber
and Steamrunner diagrams. There are several more new images in the Starship
Gallery. There are again some updates to our Wolf
359 research, including a new photo of the
Springfield. Thanks to Syfy
World and to Torben
for their awards!
07.03.01
New material about Wolf 359, including the
long awaited photo of the Springfield class (Thanks a lot to Mike Okuda) and new
facts about the Challenger class. Ben Potter has provided his new
ship recognition charts. Finally, have a look at the ASDB
mirror site set up by Dan Carlson.
05.03.01
I have updated the links. Thanks to USS
Veldran for their award. Finally, please support
the petition
to release the complete soundtrack of Star Trek II and III by James Horner.
01.03.01
It is now possible to access the Sci-Fi Chat Network
directly from EAS.
28.02.01
There is a new poll about Voyager races and which of them
you would like to see again. Thanks a lot to Warp
13 for their Gold Award.
23.02.01
After Geocities was so wise to disable off-site linking
(thereby denying their members the possibility to make their sites public
outside Geocities), I had
the questionable pleasure of removing about a dozen banners.
My apologies to all whose banners are gone. Please contact me
when you have found a better server for them. The most disastrous
effect is that none of the webring images loads any longer. This is
why I leave all webrings once and for all.
22.02.01
Help! I need some free webspace. Read about my experiences
so far. Neues von meiner
Partnersite Voyager Center.
21.02.01
The Voyager reviews of season 6
are almost complete now. Thanks a lot to tech of Star
Trek 3000, to Thomas of Star Trek
Universum, and to Robert of Kronos One for
their awards!
15.02.01
Postwar Romulan ships are presented
on a new page, along with many more updates in the Starfleet
Museum. There are also a few new images in the Starship
Gallery.
12.02.01
Congratulations to Paris Nights, winner
of the February 2001 EAE Award. Thanks for your
award, Dave! There are a few more Voyager reviews,
the rest of season 6 coming soon.
06.02.01
Several new images in the Starship
Gallery, plus a couple of updates to the ASDB. Follow the
signs.
Please take part in the new poll.
31.01.01
There are some new images in the Starship
Gallery, thanks a lot to Reverend! An improved schematic
of the Mediterranean class is available.
Außerdem gibt es einen neuen Artikel über die Größe
der Defiant.
23.01.01
Several updates in the Starfleet Museum,
including articles on the Quetzalcoatl
and Hyperion, and several new 3D scenes. The
ASDB shows new orthographic views of the Renaissance,
plus a huge MSD. Finally, there is a new colored side view of the Raven.
15.01.01
Congratulations to Tango Fleet, winner
of the January 2001 EAE Award. There are a couple of
new images in the Starship Gallery. Follow the
signs.
Ein neuer Artikel analysiert allgemeine Fehler
bei Star Trek Voyager.
09.01.01
Added a new poll about Starfleet ships.
08.01.01
I have compiled new fleet charts
of all alien ships for which I could find size figures or
references. Please note that many of them are only rough
estimates. The sources
of the size figures are described on a separate page. Thanks
to the 5th
Fleet for their award!
03.01.01
The true New Millennium brings several new features and
countless updates. The Fabrux
class (idea by Lance) is new at the EAS Fleet Yards. The design
tutorial shows how the ship was created. Another tutorial
describes how to retouch a
scan. I have also compiled some notes on (Trek) website
promotion. There are some new ship
images and updates of the starship
articles, starship list and inconsistencies.
There is a new page of fun too.
Finally, navigation bars have been added to many pages.
