sorry........

No prob. "The Balance of Terror" is probabily my favorite episode behind "The Doomsday Machine". (Mr. Scott... get me outta here!) By the way, nice signature! Now your avatar needs an X-wing in it. (OH NO!!! what have I done! )

Is it being a smart-aleck to ask which Klingon?   

yes! lol.

 edit- the one that looks a lot like Sarek's twin klingon brother!

It does not give a name for the klingon, just that he was one of the first with the now infamous klingon forhead.

Mark Lenard played the captain of the lead Klingon K't'inga-class heavy cruiser Amar in ST-TMP. (Some may call it a battlecruiser, but Roddenberry himself tagged it as a heavy cruiser in the novel.) 

  Cool. No harm no foul. Whole thing just seemed to come to a stop, so I thought I'd give it a bump.

I didn't know he played a Klingon too, so that was a fun bit to learn.

Ok. I don't have a good internet conection at my parents house so I have to use my friends computers.

here is the new question,

 Star Trek 3 introduced the USS Excelsior, what was her registry number, how many crew members did she have and how long was she from bow to stern?

I know we are using the crap out of the Trek questions, but its all I could think off. Good luck!! 

USS Excelsior, NCC-2000

Crew complement: 141 officers, 424 crew

Length: 590.6 metres

IIRC it was originally NX-2000, changed for ST:TUC to NCC.

& it was something like 460 something meters and some 700 crew members.

My source: http://www.cygnus-x1.net/links/lcars/excelsior-blueprints.php

Not worried, though. Like BattleTech, not everyone agrees on measurements.

Hey, it's an official source folks, got to give himi that.

Wouldn't NX imply a prottype going through evaulations and NCC for a vessel in fully commissioned status?

When we first see the Excelsior she is still haven't had the bugs wrung out of her.

Indeed..

When we first see Excelsior in The Search For Spock, she is a prototype and a test bed for the unproven Transwarp drive, and if I recall correctly, carries NX-2000.

After the failure of the transwarp experiments, she is refitted with conventional warp drives and commissioned NCC-2000, under the command of Capt. Hikaru Sulu  as seen in ST:TUC

Don't think it has been, smeagol.

If Puma is using the Star Trek Roleplaying Game: Starship Combat Game as his source, then the revised Federation Ship Recognition Manual lists the Mk I Excelsior class battleship as 467 metres in length with a crew complement of 810 personnel. The Mk II version boasts a smaller complement of 802 crew.

nope thats not the source I was going with, but close enough. on to you Jagdwolf.

This will be definitely older than most of the members here in this forum.

The Spectrum Angel Interceptors are flown by whom, and give their callsigns and real names.

Good one. "Angels! Immediate launch!"

The show was Captain Scarlet, starring a literally unkillable hero. Was my favorite when I was real little. Exceptionally violent for a kids show, it totally warped my fragile little mind.

The angels were: Harmony, Symphony, Melody, Rhapsody and Destiny.

Real names: Chan Kwan, Karen Waiwright, Magnolia Jones, Dianne Simms, and Juliette Pontoin.

(I actually remembered the musical themed ones, but I had to Google-cheat to get Destiny and the real names..)

After that answer, all I can say is this...

Peeking at my Captain Scarlet DVD set, were you, Cosmic?

Over to you, lad.
