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

Yeah, I got distracted covering for sick co-workers and then going through a divorce.

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')

What happened to the links for the ships ? Looking forward to seeing more.

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.

Yep! Memories...

of too much pizza...
staying up all night in the computer lab playing games...
Roleplaying Games...
Helping run a Literary Science Fiction convention (successfully!) (Con-Spiracy)...
even more pizza...

did I mention Pizza?

Starbuck!

Right-o, then. I will get back to posting GEC ships as long as people are interested in them.

Starbuck1979 · « **Reply #29 on:** January 20, 2009, 06:32:53 pm »

Please do... I really miss the 'Zine... and would love to see more of the ships shared...

Okay, I will be posting more. I guess I should start at the beginning and get busy posting all the ships I haven't so far.
