[QUOTE]Originally posted by Dukhat: [QB] [QUOTE]I'm almost positive that the Soyuz class was originally supposed to be a completely new model. They had to cut corners by adding onto the Miranda. I doubt it was supposed to use Ambassador parts, though. That would've made it too new for the uniforms they used.[/QUOTE]I remember when "Trials & Tribble-ations" came out, someone had stated that they were finally able to show a model of the TOS Enterprise, something that they were going to do in "Cause & Effect" (presumably with another Connie, not Kirk's). However, unlike with the DS9 episode which was produced during Star Trek's 30th anniversary or whatever, at the time of TNG it was cost-prohibitive to do this because: 1. They would have had to pay Greg Jein a lot of money to build a model which would have been used for only one episode (since a TOS Connie wouldn't be a viable "guest starship" in future episodes of TNG; 2. They would have had to spend a lot of money building a TOS bridge set for the conversation between Picard & Bateson, which again, they wouldn't be able to use in future TNG eps; and 3. The costume department would have to make all new TOS uniforms, which, yet again, wouldn't be able to be used past the one episode. So instead TPTB... 1. paid Gein a much smaller amount to just add some doodads to the Reliant model; 2. Reused the movie Enterprise bridge, which IIRC was still being used for the Trek films; and 3. Reused old movie uniforms for Kelsey Grammer & the extras. [/QB][/QUOTE]
