I was looking at the blurry klingon ship from TOS - that was a 'scout' - I think it was from Errand Of Mercy??Anyway - I thought it roughly looked like the BOP - which was designated a scout in Star Trek: III take a look Andrew

Or, maybe, it's just a blur.

I havent since wednesday.Ive theorized about a TOS version of the bird-of-prey based on the one in this ep. I figure it would be without the Romulan design influence.. grey hull, not green.. no feathers painted on.. without the wings being foreswept.. etc and of course less hull detail to make it fit better with its TOS contemporaries. And if it was going to have guns on the wings and warp on the body, it would probably have the warp nacelles on the top of the rear hull, like the unproduced variant Matt Jefferies came up with in his D7 design concept sketches. Maybe I'll draw up a conjectural desgin and post it. [ November 25, 2001: Message edited by: CaptainMike ]

Can't anyone see the overall shape similarities!?! Of course it wasn't what was really happened - its nice that working backwards we might get some sort of concensus!

Speaking of "working backwards", isn't the TOS blurship supposed to actually be moving to the upper right? Timo Saloniemi

Andrew: Don't you have anything better to do than to try & prove that yet another Klingon ship design is actually even more old than we thought it was?

Ahhhh *looks around* yes! Maybe it is not exactly the same but similar in design with a smooth D7-esque hull!?! Maybe if it is moving to the upper right on the viewscreen, the Enterprise might be moving to the lower left...

The Klingon ship you speak of was in 'Friday's Child,' not 'Errand of Mercy.' From "The Star Trek Compendium": "The Klingon battle cruiser was first used in the third-season 'Trek' episode 'Elaan of Troyius': in this show a 'fill-in' design was used, an animated flat-iron shape with a rear fin that resembles something out of the 1939 Buck Rogers serial. Glowing a bright orange on the Enterpise viewscreen, it is seen for several seconds and vanishes without ever becoming distinct."
