BTW...Altair: In your above post, that's not the deflector glowing, it's just the inside part of the warp nacelle.

Hm... Okay, that bigger picture doesn't really help. I guess we'll just have to assume the bridge is the big thing. Alternative being that the ship is a lot bigger than it's supposed to be...

Two Sabres are seen in this pic from Tears...
(Note how similar the Excelsior at center is to that ship we saw in the surplus yard in Unification.. hmmm...)

Tom: Which Excelsior in that picture, and which one in the surplus depot?

I just happened to be watching Tears of the Prophets last night, and was studying a scene that was bothering me...after the moon is destroyed, we see two short shots of seperate weapons platforms being whacked.
The first shot featured an Excelsior-class, the Defiant, and two others(probably Mirandas). The second and more important shot showed a Galaxy-class (using it's torp launchers at last, thank God) and some other ship, underneath the Galaxy and slightly to the right, firing torps at another platform.
The shot continues to pan across the port side of the Galaxy, the small ship falls from view, then comes back into view as the Galaxy passes by entirely.
Would I be correct in thinking that this mystery ship is a Sabre?Ifso, it's considerably smaller that a Miranda, which comes up along near it at the end of the shot. It's also as flat as my jokes.
Anyone got a screenshot of it?

Watched another 10 times, to be on the safe side, and discovered a second sabre passing above the galaxy. Boy they are really shooting the works here.

Before and after shots. . . 8)
Also, there is another Sabre that appears at the end of this sequence, in almost the exact same trajectory as this Sabre and the Miranda that follows it.
Now, to further muddy the waters, I've been approached by someone who says that the nacelles aren't the only thing wrong with the Encyclopedia's Sabre diagram. He reckons that the deflector is shown as coming down to low, and the rear downward slope of the secondary hull is too deep - it should be more graceful. The picture above from "SofA" certainly does beart this out, somewhat. . . any thoughts?
Well done, First. That was exceptionally quick. Yes, they're the exact two shots I meant.
Nimrod: 30 times? Since it was shown on Sky last March, at least 100 times. It was only this morning that it dawned on me. D'oh! Congrats on noticing the other Sabre as well; I never even looked at it.

Well you see, here in Sweden we don't get much Trek at all. Not until last summer did our Channel 1 air Voyager from the start. Fortunately, we can buy the episodes at a few places "just" two weeks after their release in London, for 30$(that's two episodes). Currently we are at DS9:s "Chimera" and Voyager's "Bliss", so go figure. But I am happy, because I have you guys to listen to.

Well, seeing as our cable went the way of the dodo after VOY's 'In The Flesh', I haven't seen a single episode of Voyager's fifth season since (except for 'Bride of Chaotica', which my brother taped while down at my cousins). Big loss.
HOWEVER, I'm trying my damnedest to get into a house in Galway for my next year in college that has cable. If I miss a single ep of DS9's seventh season, I'll be having my brother reach for the Mauk-To-Vor dagger. To be on the safe side, I've already preordered my copy of 'Penumbra' and 'Till Death Do Us Part', and intend to get all the Final Chapter eps, even if it bankrupts me (which it probably will).
Bludgeoning The Weather, yeah, what about this Sabre craic?
P.S. anyone know DS9 Video 7.9's release date? AAAAA, as per usual. ------------------ The unexplained phenomenon that crippled the U.S.S. Unimpeachable -- Gaseous Anomaly... What anomalises gaseously.
