Past Updates 2007
30.12.07
This year's final update brings a couple of new alien ships in the Starship
Gallery, especially from the Delta Quadrant.
Furthermore, we have identified re-uses
of the Defiant bridge.
27.12.07
A new in-depth article investigates Re-Uses
of the New York Streets Set and identifies all buildings. And this is just the essence that I compiled from a huge pile of
Jörg's observations. He's been working on that for weeks, as the set appeared
in no less than thirteen episodes. Owing to the extent of the article and our
limited memory of the episodes, there may be still several mistakes or
omissions. Your corrections are appreciated!
26.12.07
Star Trek Deneva - Episode VIII - The Beckoning Darkness
is a new episode by John Berkeley. Actually it is not quite as new because I
forgot to post it so far.
25.12.07
See a comprehensive article describing The Evolution of the Dominion Emblem
from 2372 to 2375. Many thanks to
Jörg and Shisma!
24.12.07
Merry Christmas! I have used my spare time surplus for more movie nitpicking, this time
scrutinizing my favorite, "Star
Trek: First Contact".
23.12.07
Today's batch of new images consists of several 23rd Century
and 24th Century Starfleet Uniforms.
22.12.07
Starfleet Museum update: Many new deck plans of
23rd century ships by Allen Rolfes and some 3D views by Jan Seebald. Please
follow the
signs.
18.12.07
Many more rooms of the Enterprise-E, Defiant and Voyager are pictured in the Gallery.
13.10.07
More Star Trek movie nitpicking, this time in "Star
Trek Generations".
11.12.07
Another Gallery update, this time with various
interiors of the original Enterprise NCC-1701
and Enterprise-A as well as of the Enterprise-D.
06.12.07
JoAT update with 8 new designs. See the new
additions at a glance.
05.12.07
I am adding many scans of rooms, uniforms and other stuff to the Galleries.
The first batch consists of various interiors
of Deep Space Nine.
04.12.07
See how TOS Remastered fixed some problems with re-used
matte paintings,
but not all of them.
03.12.07
Congratulations to Waxing
Moon Design! The art site receives the EAE
Award for December 2007.
02.12.07
I have added a couple of pictures from TOS-R season 1 to the Starship Database,
such as the unfolded ultraviolet satellite
and the Denevan ship, both
from TOS: "Operation: Annihilate!". Thanks to Jörg!
29.11.07
After adding some 200 new entries I have concluded the expansion and
restructuring of the Treknology Encyclopedia
for the time being. The update would not have been possible without the thorough
episode references from Memory
Alpha. Yet, definitely many concepts and devices are still missing, at MA as
well as at EAS. These will be included one by one.
26.11.07
I have added a couple of notes on Website
Promotion.
21.11.07
The update of the Treknology Encyclopedia is
nearing its preliminary completion. In the meantime, see three "new"
TOS-R spacecrafts in the Starship Database,
namely the Eminiar VII hovertrain,
the ultraviolet satellite
and the Class J. Thanks to Trekmovie.com
for the preview!
13.11.07
I have rearranged the Treknology Encyclopedia, now
with one page for each letter. This opens the possibility to add many new items
and pictures, and it removes the necessity to distinguish important and
not-so-important devices. The update will still take a couple of weeks.
07.11.07
In an effort to create a concise Treknology reference, I am adding numerous
entries to the Treknology Encyclopedia and
particularly to the Supplement. The latter is the
place for the more obscure or one-time technology. I have arrived at the letter
G, but much of it is still half-baked and unconfirmed. Please have some
patience!
06.11.07
And here is a more thrilling new poll: Would you
redesign the Enterprise?
05.11.07
Newsfeeds are overrated as it seems. In the recent poll 58% of all voters said that they generally don't read feeds. Among the 12% who have already subscribed to my RSS feed, few are using
a sophisticated reader. As a result, I will keep the EAS news short and simple.
04.11.07
Supplement: Jörg found another blooper,
23rd century displays on 24th century replicators.
02.11.07
Find some new Bloopers and Oddities
and some new information on In-Jokes,
such as on the almost legendary Enterprise-D MSD jokes.
01.11.07
Congratulations to TrekNation,
the winner of the EAE Award for November 2007!
22.10.07
New stuff in the Galleries: I have prepared a number
of scans of alien interiors and of rooms
on Klingon starships.
16.10.07
Thanks to Leigh who gave the DB
Community Award to EAS.
15.10.07
Read about the inconsistencies I spotted in "Star
Trek: The Search for Spock".
10.10.07
Dozens of planetary leaders have been abducted. The kidnappers
have eschewed a ransom preferring instead to fundamentally alter the
Federation's political affairs. Read in Travis Anderson's story Countdown.
08.10.07
Recurring visitors can help me improve the site by answering the Poll
question about the EAS newsfeed.
07.10.07
Once again an extensive clean-up of the Links page was
necessary.
04.10.07
This month's EAE Award goes to Trek Wallpapers. Congratulations!
03.10.07
My movie nitpicking series continues with "Star Trek: The
Wrath of Khan", a fan favorite with some minor flaws.
02.10.07
Once again there are some supplements in the Inconsistencies
section, most notably about self-illumination
of starships.
26.09.07
Find a couple of corrections and several supplements, especially pictures, in
the recent article about The Saucer Rim on the Galaxy Class.
25.09.07
Looking at The Saucer Rim on the Galaxy Class,
we can notice discrepancies between the initial and the later miniatures of the
Enterprise-D.
20.09.07
There are some supplements in the Inconsistencies
area, such as about wrong
evolution concepts and ever-changing ideas of "the
hardest substance".
17.09.07
I have added some nitpicking
of "Star Trek: The Undiscovered Country", a movie that
particularly doesn't get all of the various political interrelations right.
11.09.07
Aliens civilizations are frequently criticized for not having enough cultural
diversity. My article on Alien Monocultures in Star Trek
tries to put the issue into perspective.
03.09.07
Congratulations to 11001001.info,
winner of the EAE Award September 2007!
28.08.07
Hunted by all sides the SID team faces personal tragedy as well as professional
losses. Turning to a former enemy, they recruit an unlikely ally in the new
novel Twilight.
27.08.07
From the Bonaventure to the Phoenix. The
term "first warp ship" has not always been a constant in Trek. There
used to be different names, designs, histories. Our article includes evidence
and side views of Cochrane's obscure Bonaventure.
22.08.07
The SID team has one last old foe to deal with. Read in Travis Anderson's latest
story Prelude
to Dusk.
20.08.07
See a number of new bloopers and other
oddities. Thanks to Jörg and to the other contributors!
09.08.07
New Poll about movie theme music.
08.08.07
We have compared the TNG footage in
ENT: "These Are The Voyages" with the original scene in TNG:
"Ménage ā Troi". This is also some sort of preview of the TNG
remastering that is being prepared.
02.08.07
This month's EAE Award goes to Orion
Press. Congratulations!
01.08.07
Added a couple of prop re-uses spotted by Jörg, mostly scanners
and PADDs, including two more props that could be seen on the Mari
homeworld.
30.07.07
See some high-resolution pictures of the Galor
class, of Klingon ships such as the K't'inga
and of 21st century vessels. Also, there are superb
drawings of the original Enterprise and Enterprise-C
by Gus. Note that due to the insane level of detail Gus' original PDFs are not
suited for open display, but you can find them in a protected directory if you
need them.
27.07.07
The Subspace Comms Network, official message board of EAS, can now be reached at
http://www.subspace-comms.net.
25.07.07
I have split up the About page as it had
become too long. Among the sub-pages that I created there is a new one about Site
Projects.
24.07.07
Where Have All the Trek Sites Gone?
- an essay on the disappearance of personal Trek websites.
17.07.07
A number of new Fact Files scans: some
TOS locations, Prometheus sickbay, Norway
5 views, scout 5 views, Nova
comparison.
11.07.07
In the past few days I have incorporated more than a dozen visitor suggestions,
mostly in the starships and the inconsistencies categories.
06.07.07
The U.S.S. Antares has been
revealed in TOS-R: "Charlie X"!
05.07.07
I have removed the directory password protection for the Guestbook
in favor of a simple password question embedded in the reply form. Hopefully
this will still keep out spammers.
04.07.07
As the little orange icon indicates, an RSS feed is available at EAS. It is just
a test run for now, as I have to create and
maintain it manually, in addition to the normal HTML update announcements.
03.07.07
The EAE Award July 2007 goes to ZonaTrek.es.
Congratulations!
28.06.07
The JoAT has been updated. See all new
additions at a glance.

incomplete version as a PDF in scientific
format (converted by Tobias Heintz).
20.06.07
Redesign of the previously unwieldy Fan Fiction
index page.
14.06.07
New Poll about TV theme music.

talent. For more details, please go to the SCN.

that external links are
specially tagged.
10.04.07
