In PopMaze's screen capture, that thing looks less like a ship and more like part of the physical structure of the hub. The details that we had picked out as nacelles and a bridge dome are all but gone.
In the end, unless someone actually comes out and tells us that, yes, that is a frieghter/transport/tanker/trash barg then we will not know for certain.

No. It's now obviously not a part of the station structure, but that does NOT mean that it's a ship. It could be a floating "maintenance shed" or construction headquarters. It's could be a forward controller for Approach Control, not unlike the dome built into the deck of carriers for catting planes off. It could be a series of cargo containers in a holding pattern. It could be a fucking DUMPSTER.
And why do I seem to remember someone providing proof that the P-II ship was a later digital addition by an unknown party?

The phase II was NOT a later addition. A lot of skeptics thought that it was for a long time after someone pointed it out, but it is in the actual film.
According to The Art of Star Trek, it was later used at Wolf 359 and Qualor II as well.
That 'maintenance shed' of yours has two Connie-refit style nacelles mounted on the forward hull, and a bridge module on the front. It's a ship.

After looking at the pic in "The Art of Star Trek" I don't think, that this "thing" has nacelles.

Those pics don't convince me. The pic in "TAoST" does.

I used one, but I can't see nacelles there.

I say, Mim, how about you and I get some AT-ATs and pummel these insobourdanant members back to the TNO Forums? Anyone with half a mind can see that that floating dirt barge is in fact a ship.

Excuse me? We should be the ones sent back to TNO? Who's been around here longer? Look, you're going to have to live with the fact that some people here don't share the same viewpoint as you do, as much as that bothers your tiny mind.
