Was new ship footage really being filmed that late in the show?<P>One could also add the TAS version, which is a rather accurate reproduction of Design One. Would this mean that Design Two was later retrofitted into the earlier version?<P>The low-res Constellation impulse deck could be an indication that there are shutters on the impulse nozzles, ones that are very seldom closed. Perhaps a (nearly) complete power-down of a ship results in the closing down of the shutters?<P>Timo Saloniemi <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
