On tonight's Voyager episode "Relativity", Seven travels back in time to a period when Voyager is still under construction. Supposedly, we'll get to see many different ships at different stages of construction.....maybe even new ship names and regestries for those ship nuts. I personally will be interested to see how the shape of the outer hulls take shape. I

so, where was Voyager built? Utopia Planitia? or was it McKinley Station? but wasn't McKinley station - the spidery looking structure we saw in "Family" TNG??
So how would we see new ships??
If not - what other orbital shipyards are there in Earth's orbit?
Where was the Enterprise-E built? Earth or Mars?
She should either be in final stages of being built at the time of 'Relativity' or out on its shakedown cruise...
Does anyone know the design timeframe for the Sovereign? Is anyone getting sick of seeing so many new ships? I mean this is getting a bit unrealistic since the Galaxy class took at least 15-20 years to build, either it was a radically new ship, or the Sovereign, if it has a short design timeframe, not a very 'new' ship in terms of new technology etc...
Maybe the Galaxy is as advanced for the time as the Excelsior was in TSFS and then between the Excelsior and the Excelsior refit or the Ambassador class there wasn't much of a time difference...
Maybe in Relatvity the Defiant is being taken out of moth balls? should place it just before Season 3. Also, we could see Data's scout ship and/or the holoship, but they seem to be ultra new designs.

Voyager was constructed at McKinley Station in Earth orbit, however the scene in "Relativity" was at Utopia Planetia.
And no, I dont get tired of seeing new classes....what do you want...the same old galaxies and excelsiors all the time?
And as for the construction time frame....I dont care what any tech manual says....there's no way your going to convince me it took 15-20 years to build a galaxy class ship.

Can someone post the Space dock from TMP, and Generations Family Redemption etc. for some comparison.
looks good, bit higgledy-piggledy but cool - I what is that huge one where you can see the space frame in the bottom right hand corner? and are those the resident space stations - or new space stations being built - I'm guessing they are the resident space stations - pity there were no more Intrepid class ships...
maybe there was - some of those background pics were pretty fuzzy.
Thanks Frank
Oh also, in Booby Trap - the E-D was in an enclosed structure was it not? ------------------ "For flavor value, chocolate. But I prefer the Cult of Curry." - Frank G, April 1999 "(strange mouth jerks)" - Krenim, April 1999

I just got done watching Voyager and it was not bad. Voyager was built at UP and in the background you can see several ships including some akiras and galaxies. I love time loops.

My mother coined a term for this kind of show-"Voodoo Voodoo Hoodoo". I like that phrase. As for the episode, my own feelings, I didn't care much for the show. The only thing I liked was the USS Relativity. (The dedication plague solved the issue of name prefix-UTS or USS. Didn't anyone find the plague, besides me, interesting?) Starfleet has a class of ship which is both beautiful and graceful. This is my favorite class of ship.

In, the fourth picture.....to the left of the akira, is that a nebula in a McKinely type dock?

The Dedication Plague... swept from world to world in the late 2260's, infecting up to 80% of the planetary populations.. no cure.. but now everybody works twice as hard.. which explains certain rapid advances in technology...

I write a letter to Mr Sternbach about the episode "Relativity"-the drydock sequence, the dedication plaque for the USS Relativity. His response-
"Usually in a shot like the shipyards, the CGI guys just rubber-stamp ships in and we never need to know what specific ships they are, but just that's its a busy place. Excelsior class ships are probably being maintained like B-52s, which are supposed to be maintain, I hear, until 2060. That's over 100 years from the time the first Buff rolled off the lines, so old starships aren't so farfetched. Don't have the specifics on the dedication plaque, sorry. Rick"

The dedication plaque of the Relativity was shown in the middle (around 31 minutes into the show) of the show when the Leuitenant of Relativity was talking to Seven.
I was wondering if someone with video capture can get this
