Well, books. Take the "New Frontier" series for example. In some cases, the book series has become so popular that other things have crossed into that series. I'm not quite sure what other things are but other things nonetheless.

I've always considered the Mithra to be the Luna's big sister. As for the Ancheron, I've never heard of it. Has anyone else heard of it? Is it something Aeries is working on and I haven't realised? Damn, need to be in the flow more...

The Luna is official (it's featured in the covers of the novels, there's a model of it), but not canon unless Paramount states otherwise.
corrected and qft

I don't see anything needing to be corrected in my post 8)

Shall I poll on what should be the canon Titan? Please tell me of any other designs I may not have heard of!

Does it really matter, the answer is that there isn't one, period.

True. But, there is a ship ot there called Titan and it might as well have a face.

Right, the same "face" all fan made ships get. Fan made ships not canon. As beautiful of a design DJ's Enterprise F is, it isn't canon nor will it be until featured onscreen. That goes for everything.

You spoil my fun! :D

If I did a poll, it would be about what the fans would like the Titan to look like even though they know for a fact that it'll never happen on TV.

Yeah, the Luna is just not a very attractive design.

The only problem I have with the Mnemosyne is that it's not very fitting with 2380 onwards (which I have mentioned before) and, the deflector dish looks like someone squeezed someone cheeks to make your mouth look like a fish.

lol interesting description, tho i see the point youre making :P
ya, that deflector does seem a little out of place for the rest of the ship, IMO...

Yeah they could have made it more like sovereign or even intrepid style deflector cuz the one in mnemosyne looks exactly like unnaturally narrowed lips or simply fish mouth but still it's the best looking Titan out there

honestly, that is the only thing about that ship which makes me reluctant to ever really use it...  i love the rest of the ship, but that deflector is tough to get over...

So I think someone should remodel the deflector and refresh a little bit texturing :D
