I picked this scale somewhat arbitrarily; it just "looked right" for easily swallowing a dozen <em>Constitution</em>-class starships. I'm glad you enjoyed the work I published. Unfortunately, real life and also a loss of interest have struck, and it's on indefinite hiatus. My Planet Killer is 8900 meters long with a maximum outer diameter at the “maw” of 1854 meters.

This is a fascinating project you've got here! I hope to see it completed! I myself am of the mind the vfx in both the TOS & TOS-R versions fell short of the intended length; a vessel capable of swallowing a dozen starships whole. I would like to know the scale you used and your reasoning; please email me at Commodore_Sarvour*at*yahoo.com. If yould like I'll send you a copy of my rationale that I'm send to EAS for review. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Sarvours_Shipyards/ http://groups.yahoo.com/ Interestingly, a Yahoo!Search for Star Trek Online screenshots of the Planet Killer led me first to the orthographics you had made, then the site proper!

At the very least could you re-post the "April Fools" day link for the time being? Yeah... we are demanding... and what consumer/fan isn't? But between your necessitated delays and JJ pushing to next year I think everyone who wants to see something are probably concerned about the latency in both environments killing what enthusiasm is left.

I won't say that this project is dead, but I can't say that it is on life-support either--that would imply that it might be resurrected at any moment. A more Trek-ian analogy would be that this project is in stasis for an indefinite period of time. Right now, I am on an extended assignment overseas for my employer, and I am only home one week out of four. This will probably continue until 2014, and I don't really see me dragging my fleet of eight computers with me every time I head to Europe. On the other hand, there has lately been a significant uptick in the number of people who have been subscribing to my videos on YouTube. I'm only human, and I have to admit that the extra attention that I've gotten lately is flattering... it would be nice to be able to give everyone **something** new to look at. So, I won't commit to anything right now, but I will say that something is in the works. Thanks for writing! JJ will probably beat me to the finish line.

I found a tad bit insulting if not extremely low tech compared to just about everything else in the movie... but I digress.. So... its been 6 months since you've replied to a post and 15 months since your last post of anything... My question is this (and we all have day jobs/spouses et al too so...) to put it bluntly... Will J.J. Abrams finish the next installment before you post anything new?
