That is alot of Material.  I have the complete collection. It was a great publication to subscribe to and be a member of, I actually had some ship designs and articles published in it Wait until you scan the Megabungadude class ship  :) Looking forward to seeing your scans.

The first batch of scans are up.  I can provide more details on any of the ships if anyone is interested in modelling them.

Well OF COURSE I have the Megabungadude Class Superstarbattlecarrierthing by David Mueller flagged to scan!   :D

It is, indeed, a LOT of material but hopefully someone here will find something out of it worth modelling.  Irregardless, I'm enjoying my stroll down memory lane.

Speaking of which, have you already posted your work here to model (like the The Malverne-class Shuttlecarrier)?

Honestly, I have no idea.  My thought was to use seperate posts so that ships no one is interested in could "drop off the radar" without continually being reloaded by being all clumped together in the same thread.

This is less than a fourth of the GEC material I have to go through so far.  Looks like I should browse through the Battleclinic, though, before posting any more!  :o

Also, please note that only a few of these ships are mine.  The name of the actual author is in each post.

Hello Hstaphath_XC
  Looking forward to the seeing the Megabungadude Scan  ;D  I have Posted the Malverne-Class Here a couple of times and we've had one gentlebeing try his hand at it. I also posted a few other designs.  Anduril Made a very nice rendition of the Gabriel Class Medium Destroyer.
Thanks for taking me down memory lane with this GEC Material.

Hi MP
You can get the Gabriel and its carrier variant at Battleclinic  ;D
http://www.battleclinic.com/docks/dock.php?id=1915

Heres a 3 view Drawing of the Gabriel:


The Malverne is the Fredrikstad Class Shuttle Carrier that I drew up plans for. The starfleet chapter Malverne comissioned me to draw the plans many many years ago . Just showing 3 views here but all views are drawn.
including a cross section, Bridge detail with bridge Plan and cross section of the bridge and a typical plan and section of a shuttle bay.

Ahh ok I know the Anduril ships and I did one like that carrier a little while ago. Not as many hanger bays or the rear elevated area but one like it none the less  ;). And no I'm not gonna do that one LOL

Batch #2 is up.  As with everywhere else, Fed designs in the GEC far outnumber all others combined.

It's too bad this thread appears dead...

I would have really loved to have come across the USS HIGHLANDER.  The OMEGA Class 3C cruiser and her write-up on here.

I will try to remember to look for it tonight and post it tomorrow if I can.  You want me to scan in the whole write-up?

I found your original Omega class cruiser article easily enough, but can't seem to find the 3C.  Do you remember anything about the issue it was in?

:)  Actually it was all one article, with drawings.  My copy of the issue is somewhere in a pile of old papers in this house...  The USS HIGHLANDER is an OMEGA class 3C cruiser (Command, Control, Communications) ie. A purpose-built fleet operations flagship.

And it would be awesome to see the write up that went with it.  Much of the specific ship detail is only in the words.  (My favorite feature is the 'Flag-Bridge Holodeck')

They mostly appear to be listed in separate forum threads with the heading:

Best of the GEC: *ship type/name*

Type GEC in the search field and they'll appear in the list (along with some rather esoteric hits)

Ah, yes-- indeed it is!  For some reason, I could have sworn you and Jeff did more than one article about this ship and thought the 3C was in a follow-up issue.  It has been exactly 15 years since I last read this whole ship report.  Wow... how time does fly, eh?

My work in the GEC was submitted either as James Haines or T'Jemha.  These days, I'm more well known for my parody writing than anything else.

Done as requested and never mind that it took me all afternoon.   ;)

These have now been added to the first entry in this thread.

If there is still interest, there are dozens more GEC ships I can list on here though they are mostly all Feds.
