Remember the old story about the Millenium Falcon being in ST:FC? Well at Trek BBS someone is showing a couple of screencaps of a weird ship. Quality isn�t too good, though. Anyone with better caps? And what the hell is that ship?

I find the exploding NORWAY on the right to be more interesting. A nice front on view - shows how the nacelles don't "bend down" so much - but are more horizontal.
This could be on Oberth on the left - but I don't think it is - the Nacelles are too wide. I think it is something like an Akira upside down. The grey arcs behind it I think are just artefacts of either the stars or the movement of the 'camera' or the capture process capturing the ship in movement?
The 'unknown' ship is behind the green Borg tractor beam in the first image.
Could that 'unknown' ship be a SECOND Defiant Class starship?

Thanks Andrew! Damn, the green beam hides that ship...Any clearer shot?

Kinda looks like maybe a Centaur class or maybe Curry. Look at the Excelsior style saucer and what looks like two nacelles coming from it and part of a secondary hull

Definitely an Oberth: scaled wrong but an Oberth nonetheless.
I dont really see the "exploding NOrway" andrew refers to though...

I see a Miranda Class with a nacelle blowing up... kinda like ST2 in the second pic.

Same here: oddly, in the second pic, the first Miranda appears to be firing a torpedo at the damaged one.... A little Borg-borading party mabye?

The Miranda with the exploding nacelle is a Saber, it's pretty clear in the first picture which is taken from a few seconds after the second picture. Watching the scene I can see the odd ship that's being mentioned, but my monitor's too dark to make it out very well. "Looks pointy" is about all I can add.

The blob shown at Trekbbs just below the Akiras nacelle is apparently moving from right to left, from the borg cube to the akira. Thus it�s thicker aft not fore, it can�t be an oberth. The caps are video, I think, does anyone have dvd-cpas of it, without the green beam interfering?

OK, I've just watched the DVD of this battle a few times on various zoom levels and I'm pretty sure that it's almost certainly the Falcon zipping aroung in the background. For one thing, they set the shot up so it emerges from behind the cube just as a torpedo explodes on the surface. So it looks like it's emerging from the cube itself, like at the end of RotJ. Which lends credence to the in-joke idea. As for the ship near the bottom of the 1st & third pictures, DEFINITELY and Oberth, no doubt about it. You can make out the secondary hull and everything.
