[QUOTE]Originally posted by mrneutron: [QB] Regardng this "ship", I decided to do something a little radical...instead of relying on a single publicity photo, I looked at the movies. ;) Specifically, I looked at the spacedock scenes in ST3 and ST4 (widescreen) to see what I could see. As it happens, in ST3 there are no shots that frame the spacedock hub where the you could see the object in question. In ST4 you can see that part of the hub in the shot where the power goes out (you see the Excelsior off to screen left and a Miranda ass-end towards the camera). In this shot, the object in question is not present. Then again, the platorm seen above it in the photos posted here is also absent. Its absense doesn't mean it's a ship. It's well established that ILM tore the spacedock model apart after ST3 and had to reassemble it for ST4, so no doubt some details would change. Furthermore, if it was intended to be a ship, I think the photographers who made the publicity photo in question would have made the thing stand out from the wall instead of matching its color. If it is a "ship" I suspect it's something they had laying around the studio and stuck onto the spacedock model. Regardless, the thing only appears in that publicity photo, so I would consider its existence apocryphal. [/QB][/QUOTE]
