that would be sweet :)
(if they could get permission to do so anyway...)

Or just build the whole thing from scratch...? ;)

That's basically making another Titan. Although it's all nice ideas. Did ZZ make the Mnemosyne? On the webbysite it says he exported it, not made it so it's not very clear who made it.

get the mithra done first, the last thing you need to do is take on 78,651 projects all at once and not be able to finish any of them :P

Personally, I wish the saucer of the Luna was wider, the warp engines further out and the sensor pod a lot bigger.

Oh, apparently Wesley Crusher returned to Starfleet, is a Lieutenant Commander and is Chief Engineer of the Titan. I call that more canon than anything else about the Titan. http://trekweb.com/articles/2008/02/05/John-Logan-on-the-Deleted-Lt-Commander-Wesley-Crusher-Cameo-in-Nemesis.shtml

Once again... not on the final cut, not canon.

Hell, In a deleted cut in generations, Kirk and Soran beat the Sh*t out of each other until Kirk was shot in the back and died.

Canon?

 No.

That's why I now believe that he novels aren't canon enough. :D

I personally think the Luna class is nice-looking. And quite honestly, it's hard to tell a convincing exploration story in a floating city like the Galaxy. A smaller more spartan ship makes more sense to me.

As far as being canon, I'm pretty sure it is not, but should be. I know a lot of the old novels are ridiculous and contradictory. but the post-nemesis novels are all carefully interweaved, and I think are good for canonization. Especially considering CBS/Paramount seems to have no interest in moving forward with Star Trek, instead offering a Lucas-style prequel. Curse you for introducing that, Lucas! CURSE YOU! lol

Yeah, they're carefully interwaeaved. And full of ridiculous name-dropping and fan-w*nk, so, no, thanks :P

The post Nemesis novels for DS9, and of course the Titan series itself, are pretty awesome... The Pre-Nemesis TNG novels (A Time to... series), and a couple that take place immediately after are pretty damned good too. That is up until a overly glorified fan-fic gone wrong titled Before Dishonor.  The vast majority of that book falls into the same realm I placed Star Trek V and the Star Wars prequels into.

That being said,  the first couple Titan books were written before the design of the ship was even formalized, which could be said to have made some of the book read like it was taking place on Generic Starship 1138.

I didn't like the design at first... it came off as a bastardized Akira with mutant nebula bits tossed on. However, the design has grown on me. Just like Voyager's did. It just took a bit of time.

Almost canon enough.

Here's my philosophy. Who gives two craps what CBS Paramount think? They aren;t giveing us much in the way of new Trek, so canon is whatever you want it to be. If you like the Luna, put it in your game, imagine you are on it chasing Deanna Troi with fuzzy pink handcuffs, whatever.

If you hate it, make your own!
