We'll probably get the E-E, the E-D, Voyager, and Defiant in
upcoming issues before they cover anything else.

The more interesting article is the one on the fan Exceter
project.  Interesting that they would acknowledge that they are
aware of it.  (Star Wars Insider this month also has an article
on fan films, Lucas has evidently instituted a fan film award.)

Didn't see this, but saw the hour-long ad on SciFi Channel.  The
Viper is my least favorite ship from that show, and they said
that was the only design they *had* to keep. (but they made it
chubby)  The Galactica looks to be made of polygons with a simple
texture, quite a comedown from the six-foot kitbashed model.

Cylon ships?  The small ship from Stargate?  The Centauri
fighters from B5?
