[QUOTE]Originally posted by Balapoel: [QB] Akula: The ship above the Saratoga is the ship shown in Data's computer screen in "conspiracy". It is the FASA "orion wanderer" but it has an obvious Federation form. It has 2 nacelles only. The ship below the Saratoga is the 4-nacelled Excelsior study model. We have on screen evidence of it in BOBW and Unification and 2 pics of the model from Mike Okuda. I agree with Bernd in general about the BOP and Freedom. The model makers for BOBW used 2 different sizes of Enterprise-D parts. Thus we have: New Orleans: small saucer with small nacelles (with extensions) Niagara: small saucer with large nacelles Freedom: small saucer with large nacelle Challenger: small saucer with small nacelles (plus the Cheyenne and Springfield with small saucers and marker nacelles). All in all, the Freedom really isn't so big. Remember when we thought it was a full-sized galaxy saucer with 1 nacelle. That would be both big and ugly. In general, my philosophy is based on pragmatics. What did the writers and producers want to show us? Obviously gaffes like the NCC-1305-E and the Prometheus NX-59k were problems. I generally go with the most consistent result. Otherwise, we're making a lot out of a little. The one big problem I see is scaling. Obviously they don't want to show the Defiant as 120 m next to DS9. They also scaled up the Rotarran to match the Defiant. In the writers/producer's minds "it doesn't matter". <whew> steps off soap box... [/QB][/QUOTE]
