here is a nice clear picture from www.maximumdefiant.com

http://www.maximumdefiant.com/cgi-bin/fileCount.cgi?1024entInside.jpg

remember the 'starship' or 'cargo ship' that I said I saw in space dock - ok look closely by the left 'support' in spacedock (under the enterprise's engineering hull) - by the wall.

it has a stocky body - with a small saucer on top with two thin nacelles by the side of the saucer - you can also see this picture in the Art Of Star Trek.

its below that 'springboard' -- and not I don't think its part of the wall... why would the wall - have nacelles and a saucer section?

You can see its not connected either otherwise the shadow of the nacelle would touch the nacelle and the wall, you can see the wall above the nacelle's shadow.

I really doubt those are nacelles. Perhaps it's just a cargo shuttle used only inside the station.
Maybe that's why it's right by that platform. And the front looks as if it's open.

I am unsure.

Yep, it is there alright. This is the only "new ship?" sighting I believe in. But I don't see nacelles either. Clear picture though, hm.

Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :

I don't the nacelles or the saucer. It looks to me like they took some kind of storage box, did it up to look like something you'd find in a spacedock, and put it there. It may or may not be connected to the wall, but I'm quite sure it isn't a starship.

I don't know what you're talking about, the only thing there is the Enterprise and the Excelsior.

Could it be a single cargo container, without a ship?

ok another bit of info for nacelle and saucer spotting

ok, you see the 'box' now the end closest to us - has two thin strips mounted directly to the top of the box, they have little 'dots' and a line - like the e-a.

the saucer is attached directly to the top too, no 'dorsal'

look at the shadow on the wall... you can see the 'box' but then you can see the 'thin nacelle' that seems to just a bit further forward than the 'box'

look at the shadow.
