I don't know if you people really could count any of this as spoilers, but since I don't want to be hunted down and killed ...

Okay, happy? In the trailer for the episode after "Author, author" there was a very brief shot of what looked like a Daedelus-class starship or a Daedelus predecessor. Can anyone confirm or deny? If this is true, then we have our first really canon image of this mystery ship!

Ooh! Excitement!

I don't think that was a Daedelaus, but then again I don't know what the thing is supposed to look like.

To me, it looked almost exactly like Zephram Cochrane's Phoenix.

The space ship is, I believe, the Friendship Probe sent from Earth in the late 22nd century.

As for the Daedalus, we may see ships of this class in the next series if the rumors are correct.

Stupid question: Where is this trailer? The only ones I�ve seen, on Mr Vidiot�s and Section 31 doesn�t seem to show this ship?

It looked like either the Phoenix of the model of the Valiant built for the Star Trek Chronology.

It's probably a reuse of one of those, whatever it's supposed to be.

Ummmm. Ok. I'm confused. Everyone is babbleing on about some new ship seen in Author Author's ending. All I saw in it was an Excelsior and some frighter type ship with a VERY industrial look to it. Am I missing something?

The Excelsior thingie is actually part of the "Author, Author" episode. The Phoenix/Valiant style ship appeared in the advertisement for next week's episode.

At the moment it is not yet available on Vidiot, but MediaTrek has it now.

I'm downloading it the moment I am typing this.

I wasn't going to divulge the description of Friendship One, but now that there's a screencap, oh well.

It looks just like the Phoenix with a few exceptions. The nacelle struts are shorter, the rear rocket engine has been replaced with some other device (sensors?), and the cockpit has been replaced with a globe of some sort with antennae.

BTW, who designed the Phoenix? Was it Eaves?

That thing is probably the "Friendship One" deep space probe, launched 2067, a few years after the Phoenix.

It kinda reminds me of the early warp vessel pictured in Starfleet Chronology. I know it's different, but I think the producers were going after the same 'look'.
