That's pretty sad about Andrew Koenig - I hope they find him alive and well. From what i've read he seemed to be acting a bit different the last he was heard from, maybe he just wants to be alone for a bit?

Found a site today with some interesting details for TMP and Phase II.there are also some concept images and set photos!

doubleofive, Great transporter concept, I think i would only suggest adding a LOT more light glow.

In these shots from ST3, the tansporter pads light up pretty brightly even after the transporting is done...

Would you guys be interested in meeting up for a group IM/chat? maybe during a weekend...not sure on the time differences between us.
