LCARS Sneak Peak

[NeoMorph]

The reason I say TOS is that the ship's name is NCC-1701. The later Enterprises had letters added to them, and the Enterprise in TNG is NCC-1701-D. Nitpicking? Probably... Btw ever read "The Nitpicker's Guide to" the series? I love those!

ID number.. not name.. Actually the first Enterprise was NX-01 remember.

There was some thinking that NCC was Naval Construction Contract but doesn't actually stand for anything...

The Star Trek Encyclopedia[2] says:

Starship registry (Star Trek)
NCC doesn't stand for anything. It was devised by Matt Jefferies, art director of the first Star Trek series. Jefferies, who is a pilot, based NCC on 20th century aircraft registration codes. In such 20th century usage, an "N" first letter refers to an aircraft registered in the USA. A "C" second letter refers to a civil aircraft. Jefferies added a second "C", just because he thought it looked better. Think of it as being like the arbitrary three-letter code that's part of automobile license plate numbers in many states. - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NCC_%28Star_Trek%29

I must admit I love Star Trek and liked the idea of "Enterprise" but it was let down by bad writing and bad acting... the other series got better as time went on... Enterprise got worse and that last episode really stunk...

The Trek films got worse as time went on too (mind you Star Trek: The Slow Motion Picture was pretty dire). That's not to say I didn't buy them when they came out (on video tape... I have a load of them packed away somewere which includes all the TNG since Best of Both Worlds on, All DS9 and all Voyager. Didn't buy any Enterprise at all which says a lot).

At one stage I would have loved a decent LCARS system but now am aiming more towards my own vision of an integrated system (I think I'm just getting old... After all I watched TOS when they were first broadcast . LCARS just wastes too much space for me (pun unintended heh) although it should be great for a touchscreen interface.

Well it has been a long time since I updated this showcase. So here are some new screen shots. I am in the process of reworking all the screens to run in 1024x768 for my touch screen.

Below is the new main navigation screen, still a WIP.

Updated the weather screens with new icons.

The systems monitor page. Shot 1 shows data reported by SpeedFan, temperatures and fan speeds. This page will also show cpu usage, memory usage and hard drive usage once complete.

Thanks for the compliments guys.

More screenshots.

1. Main Security Screen. Security is handled using the Elk M1 Security System. Each of the names for the zone will change color to represent its current state. The red button in the area bottom left, is a button that activates a Task in the Elk system that will close the garage door if open. More Task buttons will be added there as the need arises.

2. If a zone needs to be Bypassed or Unbypassed, click on the zone from the floor plan and the zone bypass/unbypass panel pops up.
