[QUOTE]Originally posted by MrNeutron: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Harry: [qb] A bunch of San Fransisco shots Starfleet HQ? http://www.stguardian.to/starbase/sanfrancomm.jpg http://www.stguardian.to/starbase/sanfranbase.jpg [/qb][/QUOTE]That's the Marin side, as you can tell by the tower being right next to the shore and you can see the caison around the south tower in the water to the right. The geography is a tad wonky, but not too bad. The buildings seen there are on and around the area of one of the old defensive gunnery points for the Golden Gate. In fact, some of the plates used in TMP:DE were shot from there. Looking at the pic at the start of this post, those buildings should be about where the lone tree is on the hill just below Alcatraz. [QUOTE][qb]UFP HQ http://www.stguardian.to/starbase/sthead.jpg [/qb][/QUOTE]This is a weird one. I pulled out Cinefex #29 and looked at the painting and you can clearly see San Francisco in the background, this means it's on the Marin side again, but way down below the height of the bridge deck. This would put it east of the Bonita Lighthouse at the SW tip of Marin(I'm going to have to make a map to go with this thread)! [QUOTE][qb]The Academy (huh? the [URL=http://www.stguardian.to/starbase/stacademymodel.jpg]model[/URL] says Starfleet Command.. I'm confused now :( ) http://www.stguardian.to/starbase/stacademy.jpg [/qb][/QUOTE]That HAS to be from in San Francisco, because you can't get a view like that from the Marin side. Just a ballpark guess but that looks like it might be from Fort Mason (due west of Fisherman's Wharf)...which is a bit east of where Kirk and Spock got picked up by Gillian Taylor in Trek IV. [QUOTE][qb]ENT Starfleet HQ http://www.stguardian.to/starbase/2151head.jpg http://www.stguardian.to/starbase/2151head01.jpg [/qb][/QUOTE]In the view with the bridge, definitely the Marin side. This looks to have been shot from Fort Baker, just round the bend from Sausalito. [QUOTE][qb]Uhm.. I'm confused now. Are those STIV buildings specifically called UFP Headquarters? And how does it fit with Starfleet HQ and other buildings?[/QUOTE][/qb] These Ent. buildings on the the SE end of Marin, the Trek VI ones are on the SW end. [QUOTE][qb]And a little extra, rather useless pic: http://www.stguardian.to/starbase/starfleetmed.jpg It seems to say "San Fransisco" on the side of the building. [/qb][/QUOTE]Yep! [/QB][/QUOTE]
