[QUOTE]Originally posted by Dukhat: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by 137th Gebirg: 2. Holy crap, I see it now! I found the exact pic you're referring to (and the episode it was in too - "Til Death Do Us Part") and they are definitely the little engines, just like Riker's model, but when the hell is that thing jutting up from between them? It kind of looks like an airfoil or smokestack of some kind. Very odd. I wonder if it's supposed to be something like what was attached to [URL=http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3h1jwwwek1ruox2ao3_1280.gif]this Voyager concept[/URL] - an "Absorption Shield Emitter". Edit - created [URL=http://www.shipschematics.net/startrek/images/federation/tacticalcruiser_nebula_pro2.jpg]updated drawing[/URL] based on that photo. To be honest, I have no idea what that extra thing is between the engines. This is just a best guess until we ever wind up seeing an HD version of that scene. [/QUOTE]Turns out the Melbourne really gets around...it was set decoration in Ben Maxwell's ready room on the Phoenix, and here we can see it a bit better: http://www.ex-astris-scientia.org/observations/thewounded/25-thewounded-r.jpg Looks like that mystery piece is a part that attaches across both small nacelles and has the "bump" in between, kinda like the Reliant's torpedo pod and struts. It also looks like the bussards and warp grilles of the small nacelles were painted the same color as the nacelles themselves as early as "The Wounded," so maybe they're not meant to be nacelles anymore. One thing's for certain...it's not a pod like the later Nebulas have, as the desk model was modified before the studio model even got that type of pod. [/QB][/QUOTE]
