 The Trek BBS: Sternbach, Okuda, Roddenberry Attend Space Conference
Along with Okuda, Sternbach explained the logic behind the designs for various spaceships and shuttles in The Next Generation and after, including their engines, escape hatches and continuity with original series.
Okuda said that when he began to work on The Next Generation, "We very, very much wanted to respect what had come before, but it did need to be totally different." The crew deliberately paid homage to Kirk's Enterprise, and did so again in designing Archer's retro bridge on the NX-01.
Okuda and Sternbach working on the next Trek film would be great.

 Transcript of interview with Michael Okuda & Denise Okuda about STAR TREK
Actually, many years ago, Gene Roddenberry came to Michael and asked Michael if he could just jot down a simple time line, because there are a lot of people wanted to keep things straight and there wasn`t anything concrete, so Michael did that, but very quickly realized that it was a puzzle.
I can say for myself and I think Michael that this was such a delightful film to work on Jonathan Frakes is the director and he was enthusiastic.
Michael and I sat home on a Sunday and freeze framed, frame by frame on our lazer disc in order to match all the images that we saw on the bridge.

Trek expert Michael Okuda said the sale will be "clearly, the largest, best [Trek] auction." To be sure, the sale will mark the first time Paramount has price-stickered movie- or TV-tested phasers, uniforms and (empty) bottles of Chateau Picard.
Okuda said just about everything in the warehouses were fair game for the auction, minus some unspecified "key records" Paramount was keen on keeping.
Michael Okuda said he and his wife were seeking balance: Something for Picard fans, something for Klingon sympathizers, something for costume aficionados, etc.

 Star Trek: The Next Generation Technical Manual - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Authored by Rick Sternbach and Michael Okuda, who both worked in the art department on the television series, with a foreword by series creator Gene Roddenberry, the first and only edition was published in 1991 (ISBN 0-671-70427-3) by Pocket Books, and Paramount Pictures holds all copyrights.

 Ex Astris Scientia - Wolf 359 - Interview with Michael Okuda
Timo was lucky to ask Michael Okuda some questions about the ship wrecks at Wolf 359, and he got detailed answers.
Bear in mind that while I was one of the people who helped with the models, I did NOT shoot the models, nor was I there when they were composited, so I could easily have missed something there.
Thank you very much to Mike Okuda for taking the time to answer our questions and giving us some insight into the production process.

 Pulp Fiction and Star Trek II. By Bryan Curtis - Slate Magazine
But the masterstroke was commissioning a text-only commentary from Michael Okuda, the co-author of the Star Trek Encyclopedia and a consultant on various Trek films and TV shows.
Okuda types: Star Trek II is a lesson in efficient film making … (long pause, while screen refreshes) … and ingenious use of resources.
And Okuda knows how to pilot the viewer through a Trek film: First, shower the Trekkies with arcana; then, once we've established that we're all nerds here, hoot at the truly awful stuff that slipped into the film.

As the introduction explains, "we have assumed editorially that both authors and readers are residents of the late 24th century" a few years after some of the latter series' (Star Trek: The Next Generation for the first 1994 edition) runs.
Although the Okudas considered using "facts" from some of the many authorized Star Trek novels published by Pocket Books, they decided to limit their entries to data taken directly from The Original Series, the feature films and the various television spin-offs.
Thus, while there is an entry for Zarabeth (who appeared in TOS episode "All Our Yesterdays"), there is none for Zar, the son Spock fathered during his brief fling with her on Sarpeidon (and who appeared only in A.C. Crispin's novels Yesterday's Son and Time for Yesterday).

 The Starship Auto-Destruct Design in ESL
It is hoped that the choice that was made of a system to model will make it easy for any entelics.com visitor to acquire the background information needed to understand the content of the model.
This example, although imaginary, is clearly and succinctly described in [Sternbach and Okuda 91], which is readily available at the present time in any bookstore.
If this unrealistic aspect of the auto-destruct system bothers you, subsituting a pair of conventional liquid fuel rocket propellants that burn violently when mixed together (example: nitric acid and hydrazine) leaves the ESL model virtually unaltered (i.e., the only really essential change is in the assertions about energy yield).

Sent: 12/16/2002 10:16 PM Commonly, the episode "Survivors" is used as a last-ditch weapon by Star Wars absurdists, such as Michael Wong, in order to disprove the capabilities of Starfleet deflector shielding.

However, a lone ISD is still an impressive sight for primitive cultures, who are generally incapable of constructing a vessel on that scale (the Federation has never been able to build a starship longer than 700 meters).
