Now, back to the point I was trying to make earlier, before we got off track, as this here seems to be a rather interesting tidbit for those of you design junkies:
Sternbach T'Pau concept (ca. 1992):
Sabre Class (ca. 1997):
Coincidence??
BTW, who designed the Sabre (Im not too up on my behind-the-scenes people)?

Alex Jaeger designed all of the new ships seen in FC. He very well could have been influenced by Sternbach's sketch there, or it could be a pure coincidence. Stranger things have happened.

I think the T'Pau is backwords though. Assuming he copied the design of the nacelles from the TMP Vulcan Shuttle, the narrow end would be at the front. This would mean the narrow end of the body would be the front.
Here is an image of the T'Pau docked at DS9 in this 1992 CGI model. You can see it on the leftmost panels on a bottom pylon, and on the most right panels you can see it again (with one of them being a shot from the bottom).

Jesus...how long did you search for that thing?

I remember mentioning the similarities between the T'Pau concept and the Sabre on rec.arts.startrek.tech a few years ago. Neither Rick nor Michael responded
