[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] Just to get a word sidewise: The battlecruiser could well be Romulan, considering the Romulan border is nearby. And the McQuarrie ship is perhaps better called the "pre-Phase II Enterprise", not to be confused with the actual Phase II model that SotSF fans know as the Constitution (II) class... I was going to say something constructive, too. Now what was it? Oh, yeah. Judging by the shadows, the mystery saucer seems to be made of two "hubcaps" or "pans" atop each other. The smaller "pan" has moderate curvature and what seems like a low, near-vertical rim. This rim makes a very sharp angle with the bigger "pan", which has little curvature and a thick vertical rim. The faces of both "pans" seem to be textured, and there's also texturing on the rim of the bigger "pan". Now where have we seen a structure like that? The only known saucer where the central part makes a sharp angle with the broader part is the bottom half of the Galaxy saucer. I'm not convinced this is a Galaxy bottom (or two bottoms glued together), but it's one possibility. Another is that this is the bottom half of a Constitution saucer, and we just can't see the convexity of the outer part. But the sharp angle between the inner and outer parts suggests otherwise. In any case, the saucer seems to have intricate detail, possibly even including decals. Yet it looks like nothing we'd have seen elsewhere. Surely it wasn't constructed for "Unification" alone, yet it clearly is (part of) a purpose-built Federation starship. I'm quite tempted to think this could be an unseen and possibly even unfilmed "BoBW" model. Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
