In regards to the uniform changes, Archer's away team had to switch to the Defiant uniforms since all they had were the EVA suits. Archer's team had T'Pol, Reed, Tucker, Mayweather, and one or two extras. Hoshi and Phlox escaped in escape pods from the Enterprise and so wouldn't need a uniform change after being picked up by either Avenger or Defiant.

The raiding party do NOT have their standard uniforms. They wear grey, form-fitting undersuits, as seen in numerous episodes. So, upon dispensing of the suits, Archer orders everyone in the party change into the Defiant scrubs - which is everyone on the main cast except Hoshi and Phlox. It seems like those two remain in their evil uniforms, while pics show that Archer, Mayweather, T'Pol, Trip and Malcolm all switch over. As for anyone else spotted in TOS livery besides possibly a couple redshirts, well... Maybe the Gorn swiped the laundry first. [Wink]

[EDIT - Damn you, Dat!!]

Weren't there a couple of (metaphorical) redshirts along anyway? At least one, anyway - five in the raiding party. . .

Sorry if it has been mentioned, anyone notice that the ISS Enterprise (Not IX or anything) had an interactive computer system - with a male voice.

Hey, just noticed something: The hull of the ship says "I.S.S. Enterprise". So the MU already uses a prefix? Furthermore, NX-01 is completely gone. I wonder if this Enterprise even is NX-01. We're going to see the NX-09 Friday, and Starfleet just launched NX-02 in our universe. So either it's not NX-01 or it is older than our Enterprise. And why would they build so many ships of that type anyway? IIRC, the NX-01 was nothing more than a testbed for the new warp-5-drive. It makes sense to have an NX-02, but beyond that? Why don't they start refitting the old ships before building so many new NXs? (Of course assuming that they will do the same thing in our universe.)

The patches on their shoulders say NX-01.

As for it being a testbed (in the original universe), yes and no. Yes it was the first with a warp 5 drive, but it was always intended as the first of many of that class. I suppose with all the testing they had done since "First Flight", they had confidence in the drive's performance.

The Imperial Starfleet apparently hasn't got strict guidelines for safety, and they're a war-economy, meaning they can crank out much more NX-class warships.

As for ISS: this is the same Terran Empire. There won't be a Federation or evil equivalent.

The underside of the ship was left unchanged (so they could use at least SOME stock footage), so we can safely say that NX-01 is still painted on the belly.

For Defiant or for Avenger? It seems you're talking about Defiant.

It almost looks like they're fired from the dorsal, or the upper part of the secondary hull. It seems to be too high up to be fired from anywhere near the shuttle hangar alcove.

For all we know, this is a blast from the phasers that in the refit are clearly visible above the hangar. It's just fired in the pulsed "proximity blast" mode familiar from "Balance of Terror"...

We'll have to wait and listen to the dialogue referring to the use of this weapon.
