You should have warned for spoilers since I didn't know the Delta Flyer had been destroyed.

Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :

Well, it's actually a fairly minor spoiler. The destruction of the DF isn't a major plot point. Besides, he doesn't tell you when, where, or how it was destroyed. *shrug*

And I bet they will build a new one next season. So no big loss at all.

I've got pics and an animation on my Delta Flyer Multimedia Page
I really really want pics of the Delta Flyer with its 'wings' out though. *hint hint*

As for the Flyer being blown up, word is that the producers did it on purpose to bring out the Aeroshuttle (and yes, Aeroshuttle is the correct term) that everyone is dying to see. I personally cannot wait! I love the bigger shuttle-ish ships. The Runabouts, the Captain's Yacht and The Delta Flyer.

By the way, I think they already named her. The Delta Clipper sounds like a good one, doesn't it?

I'd say the status of the Delta Flyer is most certainly a spoiler, regardless of its overall importance to the episode.

Posted by Aethelwer (Member # 36) on :

Well, the destruction didn't really have any relevance to the episode...it just happened. If you blinked during that scene, you wouldn't even have noticed.

Hey Where did you find out about the Aeroshuttle??

Shadow: So what? I don't care about its relavance to the episode, I care about its relavance to the show as a whole.

The Aeroshuttle rumor stems from, as I recall, some vague rumblings about one of the FX companies doing a test shot of it. But I seem to remember that test shot being rather old, and certainly not proof of any plan to actually show the thing. Though it would be quite cool.

Posted by Jim Phelps (Member # 102) on :

No, that was just Rick Sternbach saying a *loong* time ago that Foundation did a test shot of it. A season has passed since then and we haven't seen it, so I guess the idea has been dropped - after all, the Delta Flyer is a superior ship with its Borg enhancements.

Now that the DF is destroyed, the crew might be able to manage without it, especially given the latest rumors about the ship returning home 2/3rds into the season. I wouldn't want to see it rebuilt. It would be nice if they'd dig up the AeroShuttle, though the way I see it now is covered with years of dust, possibly damaged a little (which would explain why it hasn't even been considered for use all this time).

*******************************************************

Sol is right. An FX company did a test awhile ago and they said it looked great. I even read somwehere that they even designed the front to be squared so that they could use a redressed Runabout cockpit for the interior. Unfortunately, the test was never seen by anyone other than the PTB, so it's dorsal appearance is still speculation.
As for it being named the Delta Clipper, I can't remember where I heard that (good name though).
I, for one, would love to see her go up against the Tactical cube to get Janeway, B'ellana and Tuvok back

There was a really clear shot of it in Good Shephard...

Did anyone with a capture device record that one?

Posted by Sol System (Member # 30) on :

Well, the whole idea behind the shuttle was to reuse the runabout interior set.

But does that set even exist anymore?

Posted by Fructose (Member # 309) on :

I'm sure it does. They just don't tear down sets as soon as they are done with them. They reuse all sorts of sets all the time. And I bet they would want to keep the runabout set for future movies and if they wanted to use the shuttle.

Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :

Usually, but they did tear down the DS9 sets, so that may have included the runabout...

Posted by Fructose (Member # 309) on :

I still think they would have kept the runabout. It's a smaller set compared to the other stuff on DS9. And they can it can be used much more often than the DS9 set.

Posted by Shik (Member # 343) on :

We've already seen the Defiant bridge set used intact, slightly modified, & heavily defiled in VGR's "Live Fast & Prosper," so there's no reason not to reuse sets.

Posted by Sol System (Member # 30) on :

I never meant to imply that there was a reason they shouldn't. But Paramount simply doesn't have enough space to store everything they have that they aren't using. It's sad, and a fact that has been lamented by the powers that be. But there you are.
