This has probably been discussed before but I would like to ask a couple of questions. On this site, you have the Utopia Planitia picture from Relativity,

http://www.stinsv.com/VOy/voyv.htm

It is the large picture with all those ships under construction. Does anyone know what are the types of ships in the picture other than Galaxy, Akira, Excelsior, and Intrepid? There is one that looks like a Steamrunner, in the top 2nd from the left, It looks like a Galaxy maybe an Ambassador or New Orleans. In the very middle, there is a ship with a very thick saucer and just in front of it looks like a smooth saucer.

I assume you mean this image?

I'd rule out Ambassador or New Orleans toute-de-suite. No CGI models, as there weren't any in the library when Mojo et al did the shot, (though that has recently changed [Big Grin] )

Agreed on a Steamrunner top right-of-centre. The smaller ones are tough, though.

Basically all we have are Galaxies, Akiras, Exceliors, only one Intrepid (despite what you hear otherwise), at least one Steamrunner, at least one Sabre, at least one Miranda, and either a Nebula or Galaxy under construction - we only see the starboard-bow portion of the saucer. Most likely Mojo's intention would have it be a Galaxy though, since the Nebula wasn't CGIed yet. Still could be a Nebula in the storyline.

Sadly no new ships, but besides those strange spacedocks we have a subtype of the McKinley. You get a better look at it in the calendar, but it appeared in the episode as well; basically McKinley dock without the aft extension, just the circular section with the four pylons. Is this just a subtype (like the 'morphed' yards in the background) or an entirely different type of dock?
Furthermore, you may notice one Galaxy being docked at a San Francisco-type yard. How did they do this?
