ooh.. interesting stuff.. first thoughts:
the Connie-refit cutaway looks to be reused from Okuda's ST:IV graphics.. still has the old wide font at th bottom of it as he designed the movie era screens..
theres a FASA klingon ship.. k-23 if i recall...
he let a bunch of stuff in the top screen upside down youll note.. why? [oh yeah.. the old excuse ' i never thought anyone would put this on DVD and microsopically examine every frame'.. what jury would buy that? just like trying to explain all the quasi uniforms in TMP]
that first exterior shot would be the aborted attempt to show the articulation of the Ferengi ship's moving wings (the shots were scrapped when the moving parts crushed all the neon within the ship, requiring the lighting to be rebuilt)

If you look at the LCARS borders and text alignment surrounding the upper display, you'll that's also flipped. I suspect it's the from same footage, but flipped.

CaptainMike - Klingon FASA ship K-23??? What is this, and are you sure? It looks like a standard D-7 or K'tinga to my untrained eye.

hmmm. yes.. wel.. um... it looked k23 on my first glance, but enhacing it it seems to be D7.. i was mislead since that particular drawing (from FASA anyway) seems to have a lot of etail rawn in on the centerline of the secondary hulll that was k23 shaped.. oh well

This is a Starships thread. You will find it there.
