Screenshot from DS9 6x05 "Favor the Bold" - a sweeping shot of the fleet assembling at Starbase 375. I have some doubts about some of the ship classes...

I think the ones highlighted in blue are Centaur-class; what do you guys think? I'm not sure at all about the one in green because it's hard to see, but I think it's a Miranda...as for the ones in red, I have no idea, but I've seen them a lot in DS9. Can anybody tell me what they are? The shot's from season 6 "Favor the Bold."

Oh - for some reason the PNG is just appearing as a black field in Firefox even though it looks fine in Paint, so, if you can't see it, I'll upload a JPG instead...

Can't see the pic, but I can tell you that there was only one shot at SB 375 where the Centaur appeared, and it was in "Behind The Lines" (DS9). It was at the bottom right corner of the screen. The ships here are (probably) Mirandas.

Ha! We don't need to *see* the ships to ID them round these parts!

Well. On this piece of crap machine, full-screen video shows through black pixels in other applications, even when it's minimized. So that explains why I thought it was OK in paint - the still freeze-framed video was showing through!

However, that means the print screen button isn't snapping the shot. So I tried to use VLC's built-in screen grabber - and it crashed VLC. So, bottom line, no screenshot :-/ *sigh*

Well, anyway, the ones in blue I was talking about mmmight be Mirandas, I suppose. And the ones I hadn't seen before, in red, were identified during the next episode as Federation fighters. So, thanks for your help, I guess this thread was pointless since I can't post a shot B)

However, if anybody has the DVD/AVI, the shot was at 27:42, give or take some seconds if you have a different file.

Wow. The exact same shot, almost. The boxes might even line up correctly... (edit) Nope, not quite...

Excelsiors, Mirandas, Galaxys, the Defiant, and those fighters that most of us think are Peregrines. No Centaur.

As I said above, I'm 99.99999% positive that the ONLY appearance of the Centaur outside of "A Time To Stand" is in the opening shot here.

It's the ships arrayed along the top of screen that sort of looked like Centaurs to me.

I'm pretty sure a Centaur is in of of the 375 establishing shots, just not sure if it's this one. Muc easier to tell on a moving image than a still.
