    Hey Zach,

    Hope alls well. Recently came back and of course tuned into the radio straight away.

    Ok, my question would have to be. Have Cryptic/CBS been in touch about doing some ships for STO and if so whats happening? If not then would he consider working with Cryptic on such a project?

    Looking forward to hearing this interview as Im an avid collector of the Ships of the Line.

    Because of his extensive history of working on Star Trek, has he been asked or is interested in working on the new JJ Abram's universe of Star Trek?

    Not going to miss this... 8-)

    Would he be willing to let the Dev's of STO use his recent upgrade to the NX-01 Enterprise (adding the secondary hull) in the game?

    (...I understand that there would need to be financial incentives worked out, I'm just curious if He'd even let them use it...)

    Any chance you could do a model of the Ambassador for kicks?

    I'd love to see how this ship can look when its not a rush job, see how the details could be filled out.

    Ask him what he thinks of STO as a Star Trek MMO,and if he could change one thing in the game to make it more Trek,what would it be?

    From my understanding the NX class Enterprise was originally going to be the Akira class model with no changes.

    How did you convince the higher ups to allow the modifications into the NX we saw on TV? Did it involve reminders of fans with pitchforks and torches, or was it more subtle?

    How did the process of evolving, or devolving, the Akira into the NX go?

    I get the idea that only a few people know who Doug Drexler is.....me thinks it's time for an introduction.:o We have Trek fans playing STO,but also a lot of 'gamers' that play it for other reasons than this being a Star Trek MMO.

    Off the top of my head...

    What would it take to get Mr. Drexler to let Cryptic use the season five NX-01 refit in STO?

    Hehe...oops:o

    That's what you get from not reading the OP more than once.:D

    But still....the name Doug Drexler doesn't ring a bell with most of the non-Trek fans....

    Awesome!!! Ok, here's my questions:

    What're your thoughts on some of the more... interesting ships in the game?

    Have you or will you submit a design for the new Enterprise-F?

    Have you been asked to do any design on a possible new Star Trek series yet?

    And as a bonus question, how does one come up with a good new alien species and equivalent ships/cities?

    Dear Doug,

    With the rather poor quality of the submitted designs in the Next Enterprise contest,can you give the people that are designing a ship right now, any usefull tips on starship design?

    So is he going to try to get involved with Cryptic to some degree? I think it would be real nice to have someone with his particular background on the dev team in some capacity.

    Since I'm at work and flash isn't supported on the iPhone, when can I expect to see the podcast available for download? Is when I get home too much to hope for? :D

    Yes!!!!!!

    The interview was totally amazing, we had some awesome callers including BARBARA LUNA who played in the original series episode, Mirror Mirror, and Steve Neil, a designer who worked on The Motion Picture and Ghostbusters among others.

    The download will be up in about 1 hour. We are scheduling "Part 2" of the interview which will hopefully be within a few weeks!
