The aeroshuttle's canon now? Well I'll be damned...
(Oh, wait... that depends on whether "Enterprise" itself is canon! )

Im pretty darned sure that when it had the Enterprise in its tractor beam, it was directly behind it...that seems to be the best place a ship would want to be to try to tug a ship out of warp or whatever their intention was

Sorry to post twice in a row, but I was reading the review at treknation of this episode, and it seems to mention the name of the futureship is the "TARDIS". Is this true?

You just happened to have been posting right before me. And, with the exception of the above post, which I suppose could be considered "snarky" or "sassy" (Oh, how I hope it is sassy.), I have hardly "ripped" into anyone.

Wasnt there a Klingon Bird of Prey in the 31st C. ship directory?
Also...based on the known size of the Enterprise (approximately 150m), then using that to calculate the size of its nacelle (approx 2.5 inches on a 19" tv) related to the Tholian cruiser that had Enterprise in a tractor beam (approximately 2.25 inches)-- Uncle Algebra tells us that the cruiser is around 90 meters in length.
Without opening a thermonecular can of worms, I have to ask where you arrived at 150 meters? THe NX-01 seems to be closer to 225 meters to me considering the crew of 80(ish)and the room needed for the hangar deck and engineering all within the saucer! I'd say the Tholians looked more in the 80-90 meter range (still plenty big) from a casual observation.

Oops, you are absolutely correct. Had me one of them brain farts, I re-checked my scratch paper and I used 225 meters as well in the original calculation..and the nacelle length was about 100 meters, and I dont know how I meshed that into 150 meters...anyway the correction was made in the original post, still leaving the Tholian cruiser somewhere near 90 meters. Sorry and thanks J.A.

S'okay: I cheated and used my spiffy new 2500th NX-01 for refrence and double checked with Ex Astris Scientia.
I don't know about you guys but the Sulibon freighter was really reminicent of the cardassian freighters (simmilar color with lots of swappable modules).

Is this a good time to reintroduce the Simon "Super-sized" Sizer jokes?
-------------------- Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.
