Vidcap?

Not available. If anyone wants to capture it, it's the scene at the beginning, just before Quark tells Rom about the kidnapping of their Moogie.

Are you sure you weren't seeing either an Akira or a Yeager?

The ships in that scene are an Akira and Saber, IIRC. Anyway, they're all identifiable.

Actually, it reminds me a bit of that bizarre Intrepid/Constitution hybrid. . .

Yes, that's the one I mean. I'm not saying it is, just that it reminds me of it.

You've must have seen a Yeager Posted by Bernd (Member # 6) on :
Seems I am the only one to believe in the Akira/Intrepid kitbash. The saucer is almost definitely an Intrepid saucer, the shape, the characteristic hump and the location of the bridge are all correct. It could be the infamous Intrepid/Constitution kitbash from the DS9TM, but the nacelles are definitely (fortunately) not taken from the Constitution. The nacelle pylons are attached to the top of the engineering hull. They look like Akira pylons and seem to run downwards at an angle of 10�-20� to the horizontal plane. The nacelles have a red Bussard collector, a big and a small blue area, just like Akira nacelles.

Definitely the arse end of an Akira. But there is no way that that is an Intrepid saucer. Look at the foward underside - the shape is entirely wrong.

Hey, that's exactly what I was looking for.
I'm not 100% sure about the saucer. Let's try to analyze what we see: - The shape is rather Sovereign/Intrepid-oval than circular. - The forward end might be less pointed than an Intrepid saucer. - The "hump" is where it should be on an Intrepid saucer, and so is the bridge. - There is some kind of engineering hull behind the saucer, not underneath. - The nacelle is almost definitely an Akira type.
Maybe the ship is actually an Akira, because the saucer seems to be partially shaded by what could be the catamaran hull. Still, I have some problems with this solution: - It's definitely not a side view, but an angled view of the saucer (see its rounded "underside"). The two catamaran hulls, however, are not visible, and if the thing above the engineering hull/catamaran is the weapon pod, this section of the ship looks like in a side view. - The catamaran hull of the Akira begins close to the forward end of the saucer and encloses the bridge. This is not the case in the vidcap.

IMO, it's a plain Akira.

I think it's a 100% normal Akira too. It's just a weird angle at which you are looking at the ship.

Posted by The First One (Member # 35) on :
I agree. It's an Akira. Remember, this ship looks very different from certain angles - after all, remember the scene of one popping over the top of the E-E in First Contact and firing torpedoes? We thought that was a Norway!

Posted by Bernd (Member # 6) on :
Maybe the majority is right this time. Still, the view is somewhat distorted. The vidcap shows a kind of reflection (from the catamaran hull?) in the forward saucer area. I don't see it in my copy, where the hump / two humps begin about in the middle of the saucer.
Posted by Gaseous Anomaly (Member # 114) on :
Definitely an Akira. Wonky angle.
There was a Sabre in TMF!! And I taped over it!!

Yes, an Akira for sure... funny angle at which the saucer looks elongated.

Case closed, sorry Bernd.
The lighting and angle aren't quite right, but these are definitely the same ship.

Is that top picture of an Akira a 3d pic.
I was gonna say just a plain Akira too, since you can see the little 'divot' at the front of the saucer section - something which an Intrepid doesn't have.
also, thats a Steamrunner and a Sabre - where is that bloody Norway (:

Yeah, Andrew, it's the scifi-art Akira. Sorry, I meant to say that in the first place...
