Well, they look "correct" scale to be because they are far away, but still huge.
On TNG the Warbird always seemed so much smaller (with that big empty area in the center) than the Galaxy (most of the time) due to scaling errors.

Um..what is the Trinculo's registry anyway?
Is there one stated somewhere (on a viewscreen or something)?

I have a purdy Galaxy class (refit with Venture phaser bumps on the nacelles) model waiting paint and Decals.
And a name.

The ship could actually exist- in my fleet, anyway. [Wink]

Aren't they all named the I.S.S. Abbadon-(enter appropriate hexidecimal character here)?

As for the Trinculo's registry, I've seen NCC-71867.

Thanks! I forsee a (possibly battle damaged) USS Trinculo model in the new future. [Cool]
Hmmmn.
The registry seems a bit low for a Galaxy, no?


...and no, I have no "I.S.S." ships.


Though I do sport an Evil goatee.

Actually, if registries are chronological, then the U.S.S. Trinculo NCC-71867 would be the newest Galaxy Class Explorer. This could be contested if the U.S.S. Magellan has a higher registy. (I belong to the faction which believes this ship in "Sacrifice of Angels" is a sister ship to the U.S.S. Galaxy NX-70637 . I am basing my opinion on two sources: the Deep Space Nine Technical Manuel and the visual evidence from the episode.)

Well, just toss out anything from the DS9TM- that's chock full o' errors.

I thought I saw a Galaxy with a 72XXX registry (Challenger?).

I could have been high though.

...and here I just built a Galaxy with a 74XXX registry too. (shrugs)

No, there isn't a Galaxy Class with a NCC-74XXX registry so far...

The lowest was the NCC-70637, then NCC-71099 for USS Challenger. Unless of course they decided to name and make registries for the Galaxy Classes that we never see up close.

But how do you know that they are far away?

Well, they dont overshadow the station, so they are either far away and correctly scaled, at a medium distance and scaled at the common TNG size or they are the Hallmark Christmas ornaments and are inches from the camera.

I choose to beieve the first option- dont take that away from me liam!
You never let me have anything nice! (runs away sobbing)

Hey, I'm not that vulnerable.
....though if you've got a sister, I could be consoled. [Wink]

I do but one is a 17 year old sex addict and a 22 year old sex addict that's worn out her boyfriend already.

Your use of the term "but" seems inappropriate...
