Yeah. So SF started putting the individual class name on the plaques sometime between when the Enterprise and Defiant were launched. Fits with the (somewhat speculative) notion that the Defiant was a late-build, but, unfortunately, not with the E-A's dedication plaque from STIV. Although it's really no big deal, as we never saw the latter (clearly) in the film.

The bridge seems to be in the midst of a full lighting test... Looks pretty damned cool. I'm kinda surprised, following all the fuss the production gang were making about how much effort it took to put the Enterprise back together for "Tribble-ations", that they seem to be slapping a whole lot of set together almost withuot thinking. I'm guessing they're using the plans they had leftover from that episode and "Relics" to good use. Looks like they can't get away from the carpets, though. >.<;;;
Now, the fun part - will we see the Defiant populated with the corpses of its former crew?

And I guess the ST IV plaque was later replaced, and this time it seems that Starfleet just threw their hands up in the air figuring what to call it. I can see the conversation now...
A: "Starship class, right?" B: "What? Get with the program: Constitution, of course." C: "Dude, you guys are both wrong: Enterprise class!" D: "Shut up all of you! And just because you brought up Enterprise class, we're not going to put any class name on it. So there!"
Or something...
They did do a really nice job though with the sets, especially the bridge.

The console's display screens are far worse.
It sould be amusing to see Enterprise's crew "Ohhh" and "Aaaaa" over this supposed higher level of technology.

I would like to add a very retarded and trivial note. In the original show, the signs for sickbay read as 'astroward'. This can be seen in the episode "The Changeling".
Another nitpick - the Defiant didn't have a dedication plate. She had a blank space.

I think they must have kept the sets from "Trials and Tribblations" in storage - which is a good thing. Just wished they kept OPS and the Promenade - only cause they are some of the Best Sets ever constructed for television!

Where does that Jefferies Tube go? does it stop at the end or does it go further up at a steeper incline or do the tubes branch off to the left and right!?!

Nice work on the sets. It looks as if there are a couple places where the displays have been tweaked and made a little more plausible, without sacrificing the overall look.
