I could do that easily! I've got Movie Magic ScreenWriter 2000, and that eats scripts for lunch. All I need to do is import them into the app, then save in whatever format is asked for.
I may just do that anyway to add it to my site...

When the station was disabled, I saw two ships in the docking bay-an Excelsior Class and a Miranda Class. Could the Miranda Class starship be the USS Intrepid ?

What I said; yes, I think so. Since the old one was destroyed in TOS.

It's unlikely that the Intrepid would be of Excelsior class, given that another ship of that name but of a different era will be one. So the Miranda could be our Intrepid. Then again, so could that second Constitution we see. Or even the Oberth, although why that ship should be deployed against the Whale Probe is unclear!
Personally, I'd like the new Intrepid to be a Constellation or some other ship unseen in the movie. Newer and bigger than the old Constitution, and not stepping on the toes of the SotSF registry scheme for Mirandas... I wonder if the Okudagrams of SF HQ or Spacedock feature the name Intrepid somewhere, perhaps even associated with a registry number? Wouldn't Okuda have worked from relatively early versions of the script?

Do you know he worked for the movie's art department? I'm not sure if he already was on board when they produced it.
And from my understanding, they didn't want to use those ships against the probe but evacuate them. If energy fails and the probe attacks the dock, it would be a death trap for those ships still inside.

Well, we got one clear look at one of the displays: http://home.arcor.de/spike730/misc/display_tvh.jpg Only numbers, but it's possible that more interesting information is on other displays. Maybe you want to ask Okuda about this topic?

Hmm, interesting picture: if those numbers to the left of the XYZ coordinates are NCC numbers (like the letters CC on the header might suggest), then it seems likely that there ARE some names there as well. Why else would the numbers be of such different lengths?
Even if some are 2-digit ones, some have to have 6 digits for the different lengths to be fully explained... I don't think anybody would really use 6-digit NCCs, no matter whether he or she believes in chronological ordering or not. They just wouldn't look like ship registries, but more like phone numbers...
I just have to ask Okuda about that. Currently, though, my email is thoroughly jammed. I got out the remaining Drexler photos (thanks Mark!) just in time before everything crashed here at the university...
Doesn't look like "NCC". The first letter seems to be an L.

Allthough it seems the chart headline says 'OC', it might be a good solution to contact him. I rememebr a large display showing the way the probe had taken to get to earth and all ships it had disabled on its way.

Didn't see your last post, Spike. Well, since the map shows San Fransisco and the area, and the headline says something about communication arrays and the three digits in front of the numbers seem to be different from each other, I think it is safe to assume that it is not a shiplist.

The leftmost column probably specifies "location", so the letters would be LOC. And RX, RY and RZ either give that location in different terms, or then specify a heading or bearing.
Since we apparently operate in three dimensions (and since the numbers seem to apply to a "sector 27MX"), I think the map of San Francisco area is unrelated to these numbers... Then again, there are those POTX/Y/Z or ROTX/Y/Z things written in red on the SF map. Perhaps "sector 27MX is not a deep space sector at all, but some sort of a local defence sector.
I'm not sure if Okuda did these displays, or just the ones on the Enterprise and the BoP. Only one way to find out...
