No, nothing on those sickbay doors. But lots about the rest of the sets, and their histories.

Wow... Series V is gonna have a lot of sets...

I agree it's kinda sad that these things have to be axed, but such is theatre and film. The worst part is when the set gets struck the same might as a final performance of a play. Sheesh.

I'm surprised that some crazy/loony millionaire Trekkie didn't just buy the bridge set off them, or donate it to a museum somewhere. If the Smithsonian has the Enterprise 1701 model....

The warp core is g-gone? WAAAAAAAAH! I loved that thing. It was the coolest set piece. And the bridge, engineering, sickbay ... *sniff* It's so sad. I bet that great rail around the core was scrapped too.

*Sigh* But as was said, such is showbiz. We scrapped the sets for the high school's production of Fiddler on the Roof the day after closing night. Two standing houses, 2 carts, a waterpump, benches, tables, a railroad station ... It was a b*tch to move, but I'll miss it.

I can't wait to see what the new sets are though.

Posted by AndrewR (Member # 44) on :

I'm still a little upset that there is no more Ops or Promenade!

P.S. I think that the Engineering set for Voyager was one of the best Sets in Trek history... it was VERY well done, I liked how they spaced out the section behind the Warp Core... and how they had a full on level two set... that was nice!

P.P.S. The Warp Core gone, but the left of the set still there... do I smell a Warp Core ejection for the finale...

I wonder if we'll ever get to see the Aerowing Shuttle!?!

What is the aerowing shuttle?

Posted by Dat (Member # 302) on :

The Aerowing Shuttle is the captain's yacht-like shuttle attached to the saucer underside of Voyager. It looks like a runabout with wings.

Groundskeeper Willy: Yeah, I bought your mutt - and I 'ate 'im! [Bart gasps.] I 'ate 'is little face, I 'ate 'is guts, and I 'ate the way 'e's always barkin'! So I gave 'im to the church.
Bart: Ohhh, I see... you HATE him, so you gave him to the church.
Groundskeeper Willy: Aye. I also 'ate the mess he left on me rug. [Bart stares.] Ya heard me!

Where might one find a photo or illustration of such a thing?

You know, I�d love to see that thing. Unfortunately, I really don�t think we�ll see it in the show. But when we discussed this aerowing-thingy, somebody mentioned that there exists raw footage of the aerowing detaching and flying of. I for one would like to get a hold of a copy of that!

Hmmmm, nice detailed photo... I wonder if it was taken of the original model, or that big one (so I've heard) at the Star Trek Experience?

It does have a Runabout look, the front looks a little more pointed...

Maybe it looks more like that speedboat shuttle?

We can see the RCS thrusters.

What about those white panels... I assume that this would have to have deployable landing gear, because well, the surface looks curved... (for atmospheric reentry?) and it doesn't have those rough 'pads' that the Danube Class runabout had on the bottom of its nacelles...

I assume that the nacelles would be of the Voyager type too, with the red bussards just showing on the top...

I wonder what those grey trapeziums would be... if the landing gear is deployed... they might be a ramp down to the ground, like the BOP from Star Trek IV...

Also, look at that lonely little lifeboat!

Heh, its probably for the people who can't fit in the aerowing shuttle during evac.

Hmmmm, in "Year Of Hell" did we only see the escape pods ejecting, or did we also see the shuttles being used for evacuation? IF there were shuttles used as well, why not the Aerowing... Wouldn't it make sense to use shuttles?? to tow the connected lifeboats?

Looking at the aerowing sideways, as you can in the schematics in the encyclopedia, it looks like a standard aeroplane. http://w1.314.telia.com/~u31412332/new/shuttle.htm
Very streamlined and nice.

Does anyone know if the sickbay set is gone too? If so, that means it won't be used for the Enterprise-E...

Well, that MSD display, doesn't really match with the bottom, what we can see, so I would take the top as much 'fact'...

Posted by AndrewR (Member # 44) on :

Just about the Sickbay set... Isn't that another set that had it origins way back from TMP? or Phase II?

Andrew

Posted by Mark Nguyen (Member # 469) on :

Not exactly. The set occupies virtually identical *space* on the soundstage, to use the same lighting grid and such. But other than general layout, it's completely different (fewer beds on the side, added surgical bay, differently shaped office, etc.). The only sets on Voyager which incorporate parts of previous sets are the transporter room, crew quarters (the big one), engineering, and Deck 15 as seen in "Good Shepherd". Everything else is pretty much new.

Plus, the Sternbach interview said that some of the sets may be being preserved for later use in Series V, which probably means that the Sickbay set was similarly saved for Trek X. Not that it was ever really important in the TNG movies, though... Which is why a new set wasn't built in the first place.

Regarding the photo I posted, I got it off Bernd's site if i remember correctly. So, the credit goes to him. I don't know where exactly he got that photo from though.

Posted by AndrewR (Member # 44) on :

Wern't Data's/Worf's/Harry Kim's quarters... originally Kirk's quarters in "TUC" and wasn't that originally Kirks quarters from TMP...??

Posted by Mark Nguyen (Member # 469) on :

No... the "junior officers" quarters on TNG used to be the Senior Quarters in the TOS movies. However, in the latter TNG seasons this was apparently changed to expand the size of the sets and partition the rooms, among things. This was changed again to expand the size again, thus doing away with the original TOS movie set altogether for Voyager.
