I heard that none of the pictures feature ships in space, what's that all about?

Sorta kinda. They got in a beautifully detailed shot of the NX-01 in orbit of Earth, but most of the others are just ships over different landscapes. For instance, there's ones of the original Enterprise with Christopher's jet from "Tomorrow is Yesterday," Voyager over 1996 L.A., and a bunch of escape pods escaping a Reliant burning up in a planet's atmosphere. But there are also some pretty dumb choices, like the Enterprise-D landed on Veridian III (totally unflattering because of the poor quality of the model, and on top of it all wasn't even a CGI shot) and a few Borg ships over a smoky, burnt out forest (they just look like bumpy cubes behind mist).

Oh, sorry about that. After looking at those links it appears that I had EXACTLY the same cap as the second link. But... I didn't know it was the Biko. Sorry.
Just looking through my Oberth pictures, I have that screen grab of the Oberth Class MSD. In answer to my previous question as to what the 'hole' in the aft section of the secondary hull is... it does indeed appear to be a shuttle bay. There are shuttles in that section.

Nevermind that! *pushes newark aside*
What type of escape pods were they? The ones used on the Defiant or the ones the Saratoga had? Or a new type? I can't wait to get this calendar. Oh, and did the Enterprise have any shuttles on the hull?

I refuse to say Miranda class on basis of my religious beliefs.
Anyway, they were the newer Voyager style escape pods from "Year of Hell." A ship name was given, but I can't remember it at the moment. And since the ship was burning up in the distant background, you couldn't really make out detail. I'd bet it was yet another reuse of the Majestic mesh.
Since the Enterprise scene was literally a screenshot from Generations, the shuttles were as seen in the movie, with the two Farragut shuttles and Enterprise Type 6s and 7s.

You just did. Blasphemer!!

Where on the ship are the escape pods coming from? Or is it impossible to tell with the pods streaking past the foreground with the ship burning in the background?

Perhaps I should rephrase that. I refuse to call the Reliant's class Miranda on basis of religious beliefs, and can't call it Avenger here because I'll have about 47 people running to me with their Star Trek Encyclopedias chanting "Canon! Canon!"

A bunch of them are landing on a mountainous moon of a ringed planet, with the ship burning up in the distant (I mean distant) background. For whatever it's worth, the ship is intact except for a nacelle on fire and is missing a name and a registry. (According to the caption the name is Antonov or something... I'm still not sure.)
