[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] The bridge module on the real sydney is not exactly the Constitution one, but a more rounded docking port-less modification, perhaps closer to the Excelsior version. It does help establish the scale, though. And there is a flight control station just above the cavernous shuttlebay at the stern. If we don't want to suppose that Starfleet uses Balok and his First Federation friends exclusively for manning this facility, we get a minimum size for the ship. And that size is in agreement with the idea that those are Constitution nacelles. The "Sydney-thing", aka the "executive shuttle", is more elusive size-wise, but the saucertop scenes would suggest a 20m craft or a bit larger - roughly on par with Danube runabouts. Perhaps this is the preceding generation of runabouts? Is the "shuttle" capable of warp? The model has two tucked-in and rear-facing silver-painted Galaxy ramscoops under its hindquarters, which one could interpret as analogous to those silver hemispheres at the aft ends of NCC-1701 and TOS shuttle nacelles. So perhaps the "shuttle" has inboard warp nacelles. Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
