In fact the orignal melborne was long though to be the Rigel!

That doesn't make it true.

3.The Melborne is very diffent from the Nebula and could easly be a different type of ship.

I would say not more different than the Phoenix from the Farragut.

Challenger Class - Some say Constitution Variant, some say a more modern Galaxy Variant. Possibley the latter, but a Galaxy variant called 'Challenger', and a Galaxy Class called 'Challenger (Geordi's future command), it seems unlikely. Don't know about that one.

Challenger is a Galaxy/Typhoon-sub mix.

In the episode "The Wounded", there is a model of a starship in the Phoenix's ready room. I don't believe this ship is a Nebula Class variant. I could be wrong. Does anyone have this episode and a scanner?

Spike,
I have been to your site. I see that you have listed class information for some of the ships for Star Trek VI. What is the source of your information?

I think, in regards to the battle in "Emissary", that the builders of that battle might have been wiser to give the Excelsior Class starship a new name and registry.

I would like to say that the rigel exists in some form especial since in the famous slide show there is still a uncounted for ship discription. "A Enterprise hull with two nacelles placed on the top of the saucer section" Althought this might be the discription of the Springfield?

The only other unused ship design was a Miarecki kitbash consisting of two Galaxy saucers stacked on top of each other, with two nacelles in between. This model was not meant to be one of the Okuda-ordered ships, and he has told me that no other ships of Miarecki's were used except the five we know of. It was probably made as a joke, and was most definitely not given a name or registry number.

There is NO Rigel. The name "Tolstoy" was dubbed over "Chekov" in post-production. The battle scene was already filmed before this change, so no other ships were added to the scene. Also, the Tolstoy was not mentioned in the first draft script for Emissary, so no corresponding model was likely built for that scene either.

I would love to see the lost footage! It supposly also apeared later on as a wreak in a Junk Yard/Battle scene? Althought I can't imagine which episode that was in as most of the war scenes were done?

Your source for this information?

The discription came from a show on props and ships. Most of the information was a old stuff they brought a model of a excelsior and a lot of props. But they did talk about the making of the first episode and some borg stuff. The guys were SFX,prop, and coustume guys I don't remeber there names as it was about a year and a half ago two years ago.
My understanding of the 2 galaxy saucers was that it had the top parts of 2 saucers and the warp nacelles at the very edge? Could you post a picture?

No picture likely exists of the model. It probably was never even completed or painted. However, I made a crude photoshop pic from the Melbourne desktop model:

That is an interesting idea for a ship... stick a 'connection' between the two saucers and possible a deflector dish on the underside... what would be 'technically' wrong with that design? Its like a stack of pancakes with two nacelles wedged in between them...

interesting concept, but the nacelles in such close proximity to the saucers could possibly cause a number of hazardous warp field effects to the crew.

And what's with the crew of an Oberth, Defiant or Steamrunner?
