I see it now, but I can't really tell if it's an Oberth or not.

Picard: Mr. Crusher, what's our maximum speed this week?
Wesley: [checking manual] Uh, 9.4, sir.
Picard: Very good. Take us to Warp 9.8 then.
Wesley: Aye, sir. Warp 9.2 it is.

Actually, it's just a Saber.

Wow, a saber??? A cap please....

:-D

Here's an image sequence of it starting from yours. It flips over and you can easily see that it's a Saber.

Did I hear correctly that that battle sequence was edited back a bit?

Are we talking about the ship that is burning and spinning out, or the small ship firing phasers in pics 69, 79, 81 and 86? Because the burning ship is obviously a Saber, and the ship in the background still looks like an Oberth.

Meh

Starship Freak originally thought the Saber was an Oberth at its original angle in the film. The ship that's firing in the background defintely looks like an Oberth to me, as does the other ship in the background below the Saber in 86.jpg.

Yep, I did, but that was due to my video and the poor quality. Thanks deadcujo! Now I definetly see the saber. Can I use these caps with credit to you on my pages?

Why are people insisting there should be an Oberth in First Contact?

Because there is one in First Contact. Albeit in the far distance.

One of the reasons that I have come up with for an Oberth to be at the FC battle is possibily it was set up as some sort of flying bomb filled with explosives that would when close enough to the borg ship detonate. Just one of the ideas that I kicked around. Same with the Bonestall in BOBW.

Or it was nearby and happened to have weapons.
