ooh.. interesting stuff.. first thoughts:
the Connie-refit cutaway looks to be reused from Okuda's ST:IV graphics.. still has the old wide font at th bottom of it as he designed the movie era screens..
theres a FASA klingon ship.. k-23 if i recall...
he let a bunch of stuff in the top screen upside down youll note.. why? [oh yeah.. the old excuse ' i never thought anyone would put this on DVD and microsopically examine every frame'.. what jury would buy that? just like trying to explain all the quasi uniforms in TMP]
that first exterior shot would be the aborted attempt to show the articulation of the Ferengi ship's moving wings (the shots were scrapped when the moving parts crushed all the neon within the ship, requiring the lighting to be rebuilt)

If you look at the LCARS borders and text alignment surrounding the upper display, you'll that's also flipped. I suspect it's the from same footage, but flipped.

CaptainMike - Klingon FASA ship K-23??? What is this, and are you sure? It looks like a standard D-7 or K'tinga to my untrained eye.

hmmm. yes.. wel.. um... it looked k23 on my first glance, but enhacing it it seems to be D7.. i was mislead since that particular drawing (from FASA anyway) seems to have a lot of etail rawn in on the centerline of the secondary hulll that was k23 shaped.. oh well

This is a Starships thread. You will find it there.

I've tried to find a FASA ship with this configuration on ShipSchematics, but so far, zippo. Could this be a ship from the Spaceflight Chronology? Since I don't have the book, I can't check.

Dukhat, I tried to figure out what it is; it looks like the fuel tanker from Jackill's SRM, well, at least a bit. I doubt it is a base, but decide for yourself:

The front part (at least, I assume it's the fornt...the section to the right) looks an awful lot like a Gunstar.

1. Is that image taken directly from Jackill's manual, or did you draw it yourself?
2. Is this a top view or a sideview?
3. Does the ship have a name or a class?
4. Is there a better picture of it somewhere, and
5. Where can I find more of Jackill's designs? ShipSchematics had some, but I couldn't find one that looked like this ship.

The image above was a drawing I did when you asked for a better view. It's the screenshot, with corrected angle and enlarged. I simply reworked the green lines to make it clearer.
The ship I mentioned is a 'Huntington-class Deuterium tanker' from SRM 3. It's basically a streched Constitution secondary hull with two engines right and left of it and two big tanks - one above and one below the ship.
The image was not very clear, and I don't know if there are earlier versions of that ship, so maybe they used that ship image. I guess what we see on my picture is a top-view while the Huntington sideview would be close to this ship. If you want pictures, I can scan it.

No, I'm afraid I don't think it's the same ship. Good guess, though. And now that I think about it, I really doubt Mike would have used a non-canon design in an Okudagram, unless it was from FASA (which still had their license at that point).

Yes, that's it. If you remove the line connecting the foreward and aft part of the tank you get four tanks, tow above, two below the ship. That's what I though happened here.

Well, the thing sticking out of the end of the right side could be a top-view of a Connie nacelle, but other than that, there seems to be no discernible characteristics of any Starfleet ship (which was the same story with the Lotus Flower, which made me think it was a FASA ship).
