[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] I'm pretty much convinced that the X-wing must be the X-wing. Not much can be seen in the extreme close-up picture, but there is a telltale structure that features a raised "pedestal" on which two domelike "bridges" are placed, one closer to the camera and one farther off. This structure is quite similar to the thing that runs along the dorsal ridge of the X-wing, as seen in the (admittedly fuzzy) [URL=http://www.stguardian.to/alien/talarian/warshipbig.jpg]"Suddenly Human" screencap[/URL]. Flanking the forward dome are deep indentations to the wedgelike hull, marked in dark in this picture but better seen in other shots for which I have no caps. I must disagree with Dr. Phlox about this ship. The Talarian "observation craft/training ship" that is seen in image 5 has a different bridge arrangement without any domes. Also, its side indentations are far less pronounced than those of the X-wing. And the bow is rather long and sleek and would probably not fit into image 6, whereas the more truncated snout of the X-wing is visible there. 'Course, I may be proven humiliatingly wrong when better imagery comes along - as usual, I keep seeing things I want to see. But this looks like a very clear reuse of the Talarian material to me. And it may be our last look at actual new footage on this model. Later TNG and DS9 appearances were either stock footage, or then featured the X-wing in modified form, with the aft hull and the aft halves of the wings removed so that the ship could dock with DS9 butt first. The observation/training ship in turn apparently became the Tamarian two-nacelled ship after this appearance... Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
