[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mark Nguyen: [QB] I think it had to do with the change of the ship to being brand-new (I'd have prefered the "Cardassian war veteran" thing, but in hindsight a brand new ship as the UPN flagship show made more sense than a rusty old workhorse). I looked at "The Art of Star Trek" this morning, and it notes that the model Rick Sternbach built served to "send Richard James' team back to the drawing boards". I'm guessing that they took one look a the model, plain didn't like it, and asked for something new. Interestingly, a current thread on TrekToday by Sternbach suggests that the producers didn't care all THAT much - as long as it had the requisite features (torpedo launchers, phasers, two nacelles, and a shuttlebay) the writers had all they needed for their stories. Note for example that Rick incorporated all sorts of neat stuff that were rejected... Deployable nacelles, AWACS pod, absorption shield fins, aeroshuttle, etc. Nothing was used in the end, or if it showed up on the model, it never got used. IIRC, they never really even acknowledged in dialogue that Voyager's warp nacelles could even move, no? The bioneural circuitry was a Macguffin that was never visible on the outside, either.
