Hey! I'm that reliable source! G2K links to Shik's post in the Subspace Comms thread where he quotes my post from a few pages earlier here. We're chasing our own tails!
What's more, on Memory Alpha it now says that no name or registry were assigned to the vessel, likely based on your comment. Perhaps you could ask Okuda for clarification on that?

What's even more hilarious is that MA has a picture of Kollos.

Heh, nice.
The SCN reference was simply the first I'd found, since I didn't have all day to research.
After all, right now we have *two* threads talking about the damn ITiTNB ship, this one being titled for another episode entirely, the other of which links to page 10 here. It's ugly.

I don't want to be to much of a nuisance asking him all sorts of questions.
Whoever wrote that MA page is wrongly representing paraphased email information as a direct quote from Mike Okuda. Also, the failure of Mike Okuda to mention in his email whether a name and registry had been assigned is not the same as him saying that no name and registry was assigned. You can't trust Wikipedia!

OK. Update time. Mike Okuda says he didn't have the time to come up with graphics for the ship, so the name and registry "remain a mystery" (meaning, I guess, that it may have a name and registry, but the Medusans aren't saying). Also, he says that "it's reasonable" that the tubes out the back are for the impulse drive, but you can't really tell from the model.

Maybe they're not even 'ugly' in the traditional sense but some construction of higher-dimensional shapes that drives humans insane when they see it because their brain just can't make sense of it.
Very Lovecraftian - there are things out there in the cold, dark expanses of space, far from the coddled warmth of our safe stretches of the known Earth, which merely knowing about will drive men insane!
Never forget the strong Lovecraft/Star Trek connection, with great old ones lurking around ever corner. One of the original series writers was even featured in a Lovecraft story.

Actually, one of our admins has regular contact with Mike Okuda about remastered tidbits like this. So that information very likely wasn't based on your posts here

So the poor bugger is answering the same questions over and over? Perhaps someone should suggest he start a TOS-R/General Trek blog to save himself some time. I'm sure he'll have no shortage of volunteers to run it for him.

Indeed it was not. Okuda's quote on the MA page, which is a quote directly from Okuda, is only partially what he told Masao, so I don't understand how it "wrongly represented" a source (this site) that it was not taken from.
