I don't know if you people really could count any of this as spoilers, but since I don't want to be hunted down and killed ...$ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ Okay, happy? In the trailer for the episode after "Author, author" there was a very brief shot of what looked like a Daedelus-class starship or a Daedelus predecessor. Can anyone confirm or deny? If this is true, then we have our first really canon image of this mystery ship! Ooh! Excitement! Comments? ------------------

I don't think that was a Daedelaus, but then again I don't know what the thing is supposed to look like.------------------ "Well if it's gonna be that kind of a party, I'm putting my dick in the mashed potatoes!" -Nimrod 16/4/2001

To me, it looked almost exactly like Zephram Cochrane's Phoenix. ------------------ Star Trek Gamma Quadrant Average Rated 8.32 out of 10 Smileys by Fabrux (with seven eps posted) *** "Oh, yes, screw logic, let's go for a theory with no evidence!" -Omega 11:48am, Jan. 19th, 2001 *** "I think this reason why girls don't do well on multiple choice tests goes all the way back to the Bible, all the way back to Genesis, Adam and Eve.

The space ship is, I believe, the Friendship Probe sent from Earth in the late 22nd century.As for the Daedalus, we may see ships of this class in the next series if the rumors are correct. ------------------

Stupid question: Where is this trailer? The only ones I�ve seen, on Mr Vidiot�s and Section 31 doesn�t seem to show this ship?------------------ "The Starships of the Federation are the physical, tangible manifestations of Humanity�s stubborn insistence that life does indeed mean something."

It looked like either the Phoenix of the model of the Valiant built for the Star Trek Chronology.

It's probably a reuse of one of those, whatever it's supposed to be.------------------ "The sons of the Prophet were valiant and bold, And quite unacustomed to fear. But, of all, the most reckless, or so I am told, Was Abdulah Boul Boul Ameer." Aban's Illustration www.alanfore.com

Ummmm. Ok. I'm confused. Everyone is babbleing on about some new ship seen in Author Author's ending. All I saw in it was an Excelsior and some frighter type ship with a VERY industrial look to it. Am I missing something?------------------ "We have to get drunk immediately."----Gattaca

The Excelsior thingie is actually part of the "Author, Author" episode. The Phoenix/Valiant style ship appeared in the advertisement for next week's episode.

At the moment it is not yet available on Vidiot, but MediaTrek has it now.I'm downloading it the moment I am typing this. Look here: http://www.mediatrek.com/scifihq/index.html ------------------ "We have a good arrangement. He supplies the weapons, I use them." - Blade

I wasn't going to divulge the description of Friendship One, but now that there's a screencap, oh well.It looks just like the Phoenix with a few exceptions. The nacelle struts are shorter, the rear rocket engine has been replaced with some other device (sensors?), and the cockpit has been replaced with a globe of some sort with antennae. BTW, who designed the Phoenix? Was it Eaves? ------------------ Lisa: "Don't you remember the story of Oedipus?" Homer: "Maybe five dollars will refresh my memory."

That thing is probably the "Friendship One" deep space probe, launched 2067, a few years after the Phoenix.------------------ "Fuck L Ron Hubbard and fuck all his clones. Fuck all those gun-toting hip gangster wannabes." -Tool, Ænima --- Titan Fleet Yards - Harry Doddema's Star Trek Site

It kinda reminds me of the early warp vessel pictured in Starfleet Chronology. I know it's different, but I think the producers were going after the same 'look'. http://flareupload.hypermart.net/files/EarlyWarp-Vessel03.jpg (from Neutral Zone website) ------------------ Ripley: When we throw the switches, how long before the ship blows? Parker: Ten minutes. Ripley: No bullshit? Parker: If we ain't outta here in ten minutes, we won't need no rocket to fly through space. Alien (1979)

Erm... That's the original model for Cochrane's Phoenix. It's what they based the design in FC off of. This new probe is obviously based off the FC Phoenix. Therefore, yes, there would be a correlation...------------------ "Although, from what I understand, having travelled around the Mid-west quite a bit, apparently Jesus is coming, so I guess the choice now is we should decide whether we should spit or swallow." -Maynard James Keenan

post hoc ergo propter hoc?Of course they are similar. However, the point is this appears to be more similar. Given the fact that the TPTB like to reuse old ideas (re: Nova class, peregrine class rehashes, karemman rehashes, and the ubiquitous antares), it's possible that they had this ship in mind. ------------------ Ripley: When we throw the switches, how long before the ship blows?

I dunno... To me, it looks more like a cross between the FC Phoenix and the Valiant. I don't see any resemblance to the Chronology Phoenix that would be separate from the FC one.------------------ "Although, from what I understand, having travelled around the Mid-west quite a bit, apparently Jesus is coming, so I guess the choice now is we should decide whether we should spit or swallow." -Maynard James Keenan

A Theroy: After Phoenix, an unmanned deep space probe was sent out at low-warp to explore the unknown. Somehow - centuries later - it got all the way to the delta quadrent, and a planet intercepted it and used what was left of its nuclear technology to develop nukes.

I think that's pretty much the plot, right there ------------------ Star Trek Gamma Quadrant Average Rated 8.32 out of 10 Smileys by Fabrux (with seven eps posted) *** "Oh, yes, screw logic, let's go for a theory with no evidence!" -Omega 11:48am, Jan. 19th, 2001 *** "I think this reason why girls don't do well on multiple choice tests goes all the way back to the Bible, all the way back to Genesis, Adam and Eve.

So, of Earth's early space travel greats, Voyager has now encountered two. Amazing how these things end up on a direct path between Earth and Ocampa...I wonder if they'll run into Buck Rogers' shuttle for the finale. I'm done with the sarcasm now, by the way. ------------------ "The sons of the Prophet were valiant and bold, And quite unacustomed to fear.
