It seems to make a lot more sense than hving this thin, fragile-looking little neck holding the two huge segments of your ship together, though.
I've been wanting to see that unused Klingon design since Bonchune first mentioned it in the Magazine. Cool!

Looks to me like they stuck the back end of the refit modual (the part with the docking port) onto the normal sensor dome.

Mabye they terraform planets by dropping giant air-fresheners on them from orbit. It might explain why every planet seems to have pine trees...
Looking at the tug, it actually is unique! It does not use the standard Oberth saucer at all, and while it would indeed be nice of this was intended to represent the odd ship from spacedock, I doubt it. The attention to prior year's calanders was never that high and only we would think to shore up a....minor mystery in such a way.
It's what makes us unique: when all of fandom is boiled down to it's bare essence, we are the refined crystal meth of starship geekiness.

And what about those fandoms that already feature a NCC-1086? Did you ever think of them, hmm?

The ship definitely says "NCC-1000." You just can't see it that well with my crappy pictures.

To be honest, if you look carefuly you can make out that it's at least 'NCC-100x', so they aren't that crappy.

That said, the last number could be an 8, and you could be telling porkie pies.

Nah, i'm just pulling your leg! We all know it's NCC-1000.
But I would like to know three things:
1) looking at the cover, are they implying that DY-500's are not all in a museum / harbouring ex world dictators?
2)Just how trashed are those connies in May's? (what a crime! And inaccurate if that is from The Ultimate Computer)
and
3)Can we identify the ship seperating herself in November as the Ent nil, and is that torpedo heading towards or away from where her launchers won't be until after the refit ?
Answers on a postcard folks.

The separated ship is the TOS version of E-nil and that is a torpedo heading away from the bottom of the neck. It is quite possible there was a single launcher there. We saw that the Defiant fired aft torpedoes from the bottom of the neck (even though it was intended to fire from a hole in the impulse engine block in between the grills).
You'll also notice on the image of the hand holding onto the Enterprise bears the number NCC-xx64 implying it's the Defiant instead.
And the images were multiple TOS shuttles were used, they bear the wrong markings. They all have NCC-1701/2 Galileo. So the Galileo was shuttle 2 and the Enterprise had multiple shuttle 2s all with the same name.
-------------------- Is it Friday yet?
