I find it odd that we didn't see existing models battle-damaged in the graveyard - only models which were severely damaged on purpose. I guess they wanted to show only *really* damaged ships, adding to the effect that the Borg were really nasty. At that time, they couldn't do really big damage to the models and be able to clean them up for re-use.<P>2. Given the NCC numbers of the First Contact ships, it seems logical that there should have been one or more Akira or Steamrunner at Wolf 359 (especially given the really large numbers of them we see in DS9). Of course those models didn't exist at the time of BOBW, but regardless we didn't see any.

Well, I just checked the widescreen laserdisc and<BR>following is a complete list of shots showing the spacedock interior.<P>1: Shot from spacedock control room showing Excelsior and spacedoors as power starts going off. No other ships visible.<P>2. Shot of spacedock interior. Excelsior can be seen to screen left behind one of the arms of the spacedock central hub, along with the space doors. Two shuttles fly near the center. A Miranda class ship is to the screen right. Power dies on everything.<P>3. Travel Pod carrying Kirk and Co. follows a shuttle through the spacedock, traveling over the engine of a Constitution refit (it ain't a Miranda). At screen left in the background part of an Oberth class ship can be seen.<P>4. View from Travel Pod window. Another Constitution refit nacelle at screen left, complete with the upper end of the pylon.<P>5. Tracking shot behind shuttle as it sweeps in on Excelsior. No other ships shown.<P>6. Pass over Excelsior to see 1701-A. No other ships shown.<P>That's it. I would say in both items 1 and 2 we're seeing the Excelsior, first from the control booth, then from across the dock.<P>Neutron<P> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#A3B9CC"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Starship Freak</b> <br /><small>Member # 293</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2001,2,20,5,10,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">March 20, 2001</span> <span class="timeformat-0">05:10 AM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> Hmm, interesting sightings, any chance of screencaps of the Miranda, Oberth and constitutionrefit-parts?<P>------------------<BR>"The Starships of the Federation are the physical, tangible manifestations of Humanity�s stubborn insistence that life does indeed mean something."<BR> Spock to Leonard McCoy in "Final Frontier"<P> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#E5EAEF"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Dukhat</b> <br /><small>Member # 341</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2001,2,20,10,27,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">March 20, 2001</span> <span class="timeformat-0">10:27 AM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif">quote:</font><HR>Okay, how many pictures of the starships do we have?
