Tonight's episode "Terra Nova" is about the first colonists outside the solar system. Their ship is shown on diagrams on the Enterprise (has some Defiant styling-cues, but nacelles like the Enterprise). The name was writtin on a bulkhead but was hard to see because it was eroded. It appeared to say S.S. Conc.......but that's all I could get. Anyone else get it?

I saw the ship, but I couldn't make out any of the ship name. Hopefully they'll show a shot of it again in the episode.

Yeah, I caught that. I thought that they were going to be waiting for a later episode this season to reveal this information on Phlox. Hmm...

Okay, we've got your answer, The359. Apparently, the ship was called the Constova. I'm far from certain about the spelling, but I think I've got it spelled fairly phonetically.
Darn it, you beat me to it! Looks like you got closer to the name, though.

Conestoga means Covered Wagon in German, so it makes sense.

if it was by any chance the ship from the credits shown right before Enterprise...Aban will be happy. But if it was, I'm sure someone who's actually seen the episode would've said so by now, huh?

We only saw the ship from the front, so it's impossible to tell if it's the same ship from the opening credits.

It's not the ship from the opening credits. That vessel has a roughly delta-wing cross section (it looks a little bit like what the Ralph McQuarrie Phase II secondary hull might have looked from the rear) with a hint of a circular structure forward. The ship on Mayweather's display (which was shown from several angles) looks nothing like it. Sol System's description is pretty good, actually.

Since I didn't tape the episode, I can't go back and see what it looks like. But I can say the first thing I thought of when I saw it was the Sovereign. I don't know why, but that's what happened. Maybe this is what the Milan or Odin or those other colony ships from TNG looked like.
