I can confirm seeing 2 Negh'Vars, a Prometheus, a Nova, and an Excelsior. Apparently the fleet used in the final episode will consist of 18 ships.

Hmm, Borg assembly yard. They're starting to be influenced by Activision (known as the Assembly Matrix in the Armada game.)

Did I see an Akira in there too? It looked kinda small...

My guess is that they pulled out their Starfleet CGI library and stuck in all the ships they could find so they could effectively shout "WE'RE HOME!"

Just saw the preview from Endgame, and a lovely news report from the station that airs it here in Los Angeles. Aparently, Vice-Admiral Janeway is onboard that Type-9 and says that she is bringing Voyager home...

I'm gonna have to wait for the digitized trailers (Boyager airs on Saturday where I am) but it certainly sounds like a fanboy spoogefest...

There're apparently at least two different trailers. The one I just downloaded from Vidiot has a Type-9 running from a Negh'Var, and what appears to be a Nova firing on two more Negh'Vars from behind, but none of the aforementioned fleet scenes.

Yeah, the only one I�ve seen, from section31 courtesy of Vidiot didn�t show any of the cool scenes you�re all describing, nor did mediatrek. Where is this second trailer?

Looks like a slightly different shuttle to me!

The pylon structure is definitely different, and the nacelles seem smaller. Perhaps the shuttle got a bit bent and squashed by all those disruptor beams?

Weird that the CGI folks would go to the trouble of making these minor modifications. If they did this to the shuttle, what about that Nova, then? Perhaps the aft view does not do her justice - perhaps the bow now sports six muzzles familiar from a certain DS9-related publication...

If not, then that Nova captain sure has guts. Never mind that the Negh'Vars look tiny compared with the shuttle, they still look just as big as usual compared with the Nova!

Here is a picture of the Nova:


Looks like the Nova finally got a visible impulse engine. Also there seems to be a dome on top of the bridge...

I've also put a circle around the shuttle, which seems small enough to me compared to the other ships.

Yeah, the bridge is definitely different - perhaps somebody took the "pre-damaged" USS Equinox model and repaired the damage to the best of his abilities, and mistook the "sunken" bridge structure for a damaged area? (With Rick still breathing in everybody's neck, I think he would have been consulted, though!)

Other possible differences: where are the cooling vanes (?) on the nacelles? Did Ransom's crew add those to the Equinox when their engines overheated, or something?

Okay, the shuttle looks acceptable in this view - it's the ones with the shuttle closest to the camera and the Negh'Var's tailing that seem to use false perspective.

Actually, that's a cool shot. I hope to see more screencaps like that soon.
