Tuesday, 2001.09.11Our thoughts and prayers go out to those in need today… It looks like we’re still far from the world of peace in Star Trek. As a citizen of the United States, I look forward to the day that the cowards who perpetrated this horrendous act are caught and punished. “Freedom itself was attacked this morning by a faceless coward and I assure you freedom will be defended. Make no mistake. The United States will hunt down and punish those responsible for these cowardly actions,” President George W. Bush Monday, 2001.09.10Well, the first batch sold, so now I have up on eBay a second batch of?26 different Star Trek Micro Machines?(including the super rare USS Voyager) — so complete your collection today! Oh yeah,?Vic’s back. ?HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO US!?September marks the beginning of the 5th year on the internet for the LCARS Computer Network, and to celebrate, we are holding the first annual?LCARSComNet Scavenger Hunt. Grand prize is the USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D pewter ship produced by the Franklin Mint.

And as a reminder, there is no clue for?this month’s contest?since it’s of a different nature from the usual trivia question. Monday, 2001.08.13Due to a technical glitch, I had to put back on?eBay?the Defiant, Pasteur, the future Klingon Battlecruiser, and the 3 Nacelle Enterprise D. I have also added this weeks?animations. Wednesday, 2001.08.08I have just added to?eBay?the?First Contact Enterprise E Model. Get it while you can! Monday, 2001.08.06Week 4’s Animations?are online, including?two brand new animations!

And be sure to check out your local Hallmark store tomorrow, as that is when the new Deep Space Nine Ornaments go on sale! ?????? Thursday, 2001.07.19 Did that song during the last night’s ENTERPRISE promo get your blood flowing for September’s premier? If it did, now you can?LISTEN TO IT HERE! It’s by a band called?The Calling and is entitled?Wherever You Will Go?which is on their debut album?Camino Palmero, but as of yet we have no official word as to whether or not it will be the ENTERPRISE theme song. I have been notified that the register service has not pointed all the DNS entries to my new host, so some people still can’t access us… All I can say is be patient. Wednesday, 2001.07.18I have added scans of the actual Dedication Plaque props belonging to the USS Prometheus and the USS Voyager to the?Dedication Plaques Section. Tuesday, 2001.07.17Well darn if it didn’t happen again! Thanks to everyone visiting my site (which is a good thing), I exceeded my bandwidth for the month and my host shut me down with no warning, on Friday the 13th, no less. And I just switched to them last month because of the same problem with the host prior to that. I think my new host will work out much better. And again, if you find any broken links, please?let me know?(I’m sure I missed a few). I have also posted the clue to?The Monthly Contest?- good luck! Thursday, 2001.07.12 Here is our exclusive first look at a different view of the new Enterprise NX-01 which is set up as an?800×600 wallpaper?~ a LCARS Computer Network exclusive! Although it is the Pre-TOS version of the Akira Class, it’s starting to get a uniqueness that’s all it’s own. Great jobs guys! (Please don’t link directly to the image – it eats way too much bandwidth – thanks.) Wednesday, 2001.07.11There are several updates to tell you about. First, there are two additions to the?Fan Fiction Section😕Care and Feeding of the Pet Tribble?and?Useful Facts About Dilithium?– both are very funny. And second, there are three additions to the?Alien Database: the?Gomtuu (the Tin-Man), the?Iconians, and the?Q Continuum. Monday, 2001.07.09I don’t usually use this section to voice my rants (maybe I should?), but after seeing the new Enterprise and hearing other’s opinions, I had to add my two cents worth… Enterprise (or What I Learned in Temporal Mechanics) I like the new (old?) design of the Enterprise. I also like Kirk’s Enterprise. Now with that having been said… There have been a lot of grumbling about the ship not looking like the predecessor of Kirk’s 1701. But who ever said it had to be? We can see the obvious relationship between Kirk’s 1701 and Picard’s 1701-E, but that was intentional by the designers at Utopia Planetia Ship Yards (or wherever). But for those six ships, there was not such a large gap in time between ships as there would be now — over 100 years between Archer’s Enterprise and Kirk’s. Who’s to say there won’t be another one, two, or even five Enterprises between the two, which would show more of a design lineage history? Starfleet has hundreds of designs for their starships, and with Archer’s being the first real Starfleet starship (from the NX-01), could Kirk’s 1701 not have been a “bold new direction in starship design” for space exploration? Sure the new Enterprise bears more than a passing resemblance to the Akira, which was intentional by TPTB, but why not? Obviously the Akira design was so good that Starfleet did not feel the need to change it in 200+ years. Sure there are some people who would have liked to have seen an obvious reverse design lineage, but why does there have to be? Does the USS Enterprise Aircraft Carrier CVAN-65 look like the Enterprise Space Shuttle OV-101? Does the Enterprise Space Shuttle OV-101 look like the Enterprise module which is being developed by Spacehab, Inc. (in partnership with the Russian company Energia, and will be attached to the Russian side of the ISS — International Space Station — set to launch in 2003)? Come on folks, just because the name is Enterprise doesn’t mean it has to look like what we are used to. Saturday, 2001.07.07Are you a 3-D Artist? Do you render Star Trek images with meshes? If so, let me know and I’ll see about adding them to our?Star Trek in 3-D Section. Friday, 2001.07.06Added to the?Animation Section?is the Computer Core Shutdown .SWF from the?Custom Error Page. Thursday, 2001.07.05I have added an awesome new section to the?Download Gallery?entitled?Star Trek in 3-D?where we have made available some of the finest 3-D mesh images online. Tuesday, 2001.07.03We have a new?custom error page… cool! Monday, 2001.07.02I have also just added a new LCARS USS Prometheus wallpaper to the?LCARS Images Gallery Section. It’s pretty cool… I have just added the Voyager Master System screen saver to the?Screen Savers Section?– check it out! Saturday, 2001.06.30I was given a bit more information about the Enterprises’s design by Doug Drexler, which can be found in the?Doug Drexler Q & A Session. I have posted?July’s Contest, and it should be a real treat to all the Klingon fans out there! And congratulations go to Mike Corker who knew the answer to?June’s Contest. Friday, 2001.06.29I have just posted my interview with Eden FX owner John Gross in the?Production of Trek Section. Eden FX is one of the CGI teams working on ENTERPRISE.

In addition, I have added some?Star Trek comics?to?eBay, for those collectors out there. And a quick note to say that the LCARS Computer Network is mentioned on?Cinescape/AssignmentX?in regard to our?Doug Drexler Q & A Session. Thursday, 2001.06.21I am in the process of moving files around to the new server, so if you find any broken links, please?e-mail me?letting me know in case it’s one I missed. Thanks! Tuesday, 2001.06.19I just added to?eBay?the?EXTREMELY RARE?Star Trek: First Contact Vulcan Statue, in which only 550 were made, and none were distributed here in the US. And be sure to check out my?other auctionsfor some great Trek items! I have also added a signed?DS9: Memories from the Future?Aron Eisenberg/Nog card! I would like to thank Doug Drexler for answering the questions that you all sent in for the?Q & A with Doug Drexler. The questions and answers have now been posted — be sure to stop by for a very informative read. Thanks Doug! Monday, 2001.06.18I have updated the?Autographs Section?with several new signatures: David B. Levinson, John Eaves & Carol Bauman, Jerry Hardin, and Anne Francis. I have also added the clue to the?Monthly Contest. We were down again today due to IP caching of our new server. Please be patient (I’m trying to be…). Friday, 2001.06.15Well folks, if you came by today and noticed we were down (or various broken links), it was due to our changing servers. I was notified the LCARSCom.Net had an average monthly download rate of 10 GIG so I had to move to a server that could handle the load. Now I just have to come up with a way to pay for it… Thursday, 2001.06.14I would like to invite everyone to view our new Intro Movie on our?Front Page. It’s really awesome and worth watching (again and again)! Wednesday, 2001.06.13THE ANIMATIONS ARE BACK ONLINE?(sort of…)!!! Although the majority of the LCARS Animations are still offline (due to lack of server space… anyone?), we have put up 23 smaller static LCARS Animations, which are awesome in their own right.?Check ’em out! I have just put on?eBay?the rare?Deep Space Nine: Way of the Warrior?plate made by Hamilton Plates some years back. Monday, 2001.06.11I have just added to the?Doug Drexler Q & A Section?a pic of the “T-bar” graphic panel that we are giving away. It was originally backlit and used on the Bridge of the USS Defiant in the?Deep Space Nine?episode?The Visitor. The Q & A and the winner will be posted soon! Thursday, 2001.06.07I have added an new section entitled?The Production of Trek?in which you will find various interviews and Q & A sessions, including our exclusive?John Eaves Interview?and?Doug Drexler Q & A Session. I have also added to eBay a?Custom One-of-a-Kind Franklin Mint Runabout Sculpture?~ get it while you can! Tuesday, 2001.06.05Well, I didn’t want to go the rest of the month without having a contest (due to ending the?Doug Drexler Q & A?early — see below), so if you are a fan of Section 31, the?Updated June Contest?is contest is for you! Monday, 2001.06.04Wow! I have just come back from the?WonderFest Convention?in Kentucky where I got to sit down with John Eaves, Senior Illustrator for?ENTERPRISE. You can?read the interview here?and pick up some of the tidbits he provided about the new show. And unfortunately, we are no longer accepting questions for the Doug Drexler Q & A due to the already overwhelming responce we have received. We currently have over 200 questions, and now Mr. Drexler and I will knock that down to about 25 to 30. When completely answered, they will be found in the?Q & A with Doug Drexler Section. I apologize for any inconvience this may have caused. Thursday, 2001.05.31The?June Contest?has been added, and this time we are letting you ask the question — to Doug Drexler, Junior Illustrator for?ENTERPRISE! In return, you could win an actual set prop donated by Mr. Drexler. And congratulations go to Fred Link who knew the answer to?May’s Contest.

Wednesday, 2001.05.23Although not an update to the site, I just have to say that I enjoyed?Endgame, and will miss the crew… (I give it a 9 / 10 — it needed about 15 more minutes.) Tuesday, 2001.05.22I have added two PC games,?DS9: The Fallen?and?Star Trek: Away Team, to?eBay, so bid NOW! Monday, 2001.05.21I’d like to thank Doug D. for the?USS Relativity’s?dedication plaque motto, which I have now added to the?Dedication Plaques Section?– thanks Doug!

Wednesday, 2001.03.21I have just added to eBay a beautiful?Circuit Board Prop?piece from?Star Trek: Generations, along with two book sets (Dark Matters?and?Dark Passions). Tuesday, 2001.03.20It looks like?You Can’t Do That On Star Trek?is back up. Notices went out from Tripod to the thousands of deleted sites stating, basically, they screwed up. So please stop by and vote for my submission (if you think it’s deserving), which can be found in the?Winter 2001 Galleries: Gallery Nine. Mine is the fourth entry down?(Worf & Gowron). Monday, 2001.03.19I have added a search engine to the?Databank Page?so try it out… Sunday, 2001.03.18In an effort to bring to light the lost/cut footage from?Star Trek: Generations, we have teamed up with?Section 31?to present you, the fans, what Paramount would not…?The Reel Thing – What Wasn?t Made So?(in the?Special Features Section). Saturday, 2001.03.17Well, it looks like Tripod shut down?You Can’t Do That On Star Trek?again (it’s a long story). Crud… Friday, 2001.03.16I just found out?You Can’t Do That On Star Trek?is back online. Please stop by and vote for my submission (if you think it’s deserving), which can be found in the?Winter 2001 Galleries: Gallery Nine. Mine is the fourth entry down?(Worf & Gowron). Wednesday, 2001.03.14Over the last couple days I have added several new images to the?Download Gallery, specifically in the?LCARS Images?and the?Misc Images?Sections. I have also added several Star Trek Ornaments to my?eBay Auctions. I have updated the?Behind the Scenes?Section with a Section on?First Contact.

Saturday, 2001.03.03A few days ago I was notified that I had an entry on the site?You Can’t Do That On Star ?but it seems Tripod shut them down for some reason. Updates on the matter can be found?here. In addition, I have added 2 new pics to the?Ship Gallery: one of the?Enterprise-B?and one of a painting of the?Enterprise-E. Thursday, 2001.03.01If you are wondering why you have not received this month’s LCARS Computer Network Update in your e-mail, the reason is that I have suspended the newsletter for the time being. It may be back later, or not, but we’ll see. Wednesday, 2001.02.28We have a new contest this month in the?Contest Section?where we are giving away the?Klingon Academy?CD-Rom Game from Interplay. And congrats go to Bruce who won the?Star Trek: First Contact Latinum Edition Borg Queen?in?February’s Contest. Friday, 2001.02.23Added to the?LCARS Bookstore?are our new affiliates: Hallmark and the Franklin Mint. Here you will find the Star Trek Ornaments for 2001 and finest Star Trek collectables available this side of the wormhole. Wednesday, 2001.02.21I have updated the?Daily News Briefs?because of the soon to be increased amount of Star Trek news based on the end of Voyager, the beginning of Series V, and the release of the 10th movie. Tuesday, 2001.02.20I just added yet another animation to the?Animations Gallery?entitled Subspace Field Scan courtesy Toby Maddison of?the Okuda Library. I also added three new screen savers to the?Screen Saver Section?courtesy Adam Grossguth of?Adam’s Space Oddity. Monday, 2001.02.19I have added to the?Animations Gallery?a new Animation entitled?Dominion War Casuality Report?courtesy Toby Maddison of?the Okuda Library.

The book was limited to 500 copies and this one is numbered 73 out of the 500. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity, so stop by and check it out. Sunday, 2001.02.11Added to the?Authors Section?is a write up given to us by Susan Shwartz, co-author of?Vulcan’s Forge,?Vulcan’s Heart, and the upcoming?Vulcan’s Soul. Thanks Susan! Also added today is the final chapter of?Federation’s End II: The Witching Hour?by E. L. Zimmerman in the?Fan Fiction Section. Friday, 2001.02.09I just placed on?eBay?a Cargo Bay Container Prop Replica — this thing looks like it could break a Klingon’s back! 😉 Also added are 13 new entries to the?Behind the Scenes Section?in the?LCARS Database. I have added a?3D Voyager at Warp?Screen Saver to the?Screen Saver?section. It’s by?Robert Bennett?at?Useless Creations. Thanks for letting us post it, Rob.

L. Zimmerman in the?Fan Fiction?Section. I have added two more entries to?Starship Database, with many more to go… Thanks to a purchase I made on eBay a few weeks ago, I am finially able to bring you what I believe is the best UFP image available. I have not seen this online elsewhere, so I believe it is a LCARSCom.Net exclusive! Added to the?Misc Images?Section is the?UFP?as seen in?Star Trek: Generations. Friday, 2001.01.26Also, I have added 17 entries to the?Alien Database, 7 entries to the?Starfleet Database, 3 entries to the?Klingon Database, 8 entries to the?Starship Database, and 1 entry to the?Personnel Database.

Be sure to pay them a visit and sign their petition! I have just added?The 24th Century Today?Section, which not only includes the Panels we have, but several other great items. Be sure to check it out! Saturday, 2001.01.20We are looking to sell another item from the 24th Century, a?Nakada Phaser Rifle?(it’s really cool looking). But first, the builder is looking for some initial feedack. Drop by their?feedack page?and let them know what you think. Thanks. Friday, 2001.01.19HELP WANTED! I am in need of a character sketch/cartoon artist for an upcoming project. If you are interested and not too busy, please?E-Mail Me?several samples of your work. Wednesday, 2001.01.17Well, the last PADD has been sold, but I have just placed on?eBay?something you don’t come across everyday.

Saturday, 2001.01.13This is just a quick note to let you know there is only 1 PADD left on?eBay?so you better hurry over there now. Friday, 2001.01.12I have finally added the?Star Trek S.C.E.?E-Books to the?LCARS Bookstore?if anyone is interested. The only drawback about them is that you have to read them on your PC… And I will hopefully be able to get around to updating the?Books Section?with the upcoming books of 2001 soon. Thursday, 2001.01.11We are having a New Millennium Sale in the?Computer Panel Replicas?Section. The price cuts range from 33% to 50%. Get them while you can! Because I have had so many requests for the prop PADD replicas I have in my collection, I have put three of them on?eBay. But I must warn you — they are not cheap, but they are worth it. The?Animations,?WAVs, and the?Vic’s Lounge?Downloads are?BACK ONLINE!!!?Go download it all now! Wednesday, 2001.01.10I just updated the?LCARS Bookstore?with the two Mirror Universe books that were just released. Boy, do they look?hot. Yesterday, I received the prize I will be giving away for February’s Contest — I think it’s the best prize we’ve offered to date! Sorry, I can’t tell you what it is. Now to think of a really hard question… And the autographed Nurse Alyssa Ogawa Card I put on?eBay?yesterday has sold, thanks. Tuesday, 2001.01.09I have switched news services from?Section 31?to?TrekToday?for the?Daily News Briefs. I have nothing against?Section 31?– I think it is a wonderful site and I will still check the news there daily, but?TrekToday?offers a system in which I don’t have to manually check for updates every few hours … and?that?can get tedious. I have just put up for auction on eBay an autographed?Nurse Alyssa Ogawa Card?from the?Star Trek?Cinema 2000 card set. And the Animations in the?Animations Section, the WAVs in the?Sounds Section, and the?Vic’s Lounge?Downloads are still offline… Monday, 2001.01.08We have added a new?image?based on the upcoming Section 31 books. It can be found in the?Misc Images?Section. The Animations in the?Animations Section, the WAVs in the?Sounds Section, and the?Vic’s Lounge?Downloads are temporarily offline due to DNS problems. I will post an update when they are back online (hopefully soon!!!). Sunday, 2001.01.07Happy 1701 (1-7-01) Everyone! Saturday, 2001.01.06I have just added a new LCARS animation to the?Animations Section?entitled Molecular Analysis — be sure to check it out! Friday, 2001.01.05This Page (although there is one prior entry)! Let’s see how it works out — and one would think after three years I would have done this sooner… I have also added a new?image?to the?LCARS Images?in the?Download Gallery. Monday, 2001.01.01We are delighted to be able to bring you two?exclusive interviews?with both S.D. Perry and Keith R. A. DeCandido, authors of upcoming DS9 books that pick up where the TV series left off. We have also updated the?contest?page with a new question and a new prize. Robert Walker was the winner of our last contest. He won the CD-Rom PC Game?Star Trek: Voyager Elite Force?Collector’s Edition and it’s Strategy Guide. There are also three new stories in the?Fan Fiction?section. A DS9/Star Wars crossover, a Voyager/Dr. Who crossover and a story featuring Ron D. Moore and a salamander. 😉 View Previous Site Updates from:2006?/?2005?/?2004?/?2003?/?2002 |
