if he was in an observation gondola - he would be at the same level as the gondola on that other pylon...

and way above the core.

Aban: Except that, in "Trials and Tribble-ations", they showed the same ship docked in the same manner. This would mean, when they got out of the ship and onto the station, the floor would become the ceiling and vice versa.

Hmmm, this thread goes hand-in-hand with the "Obsession with canon" one in GD

Why can't he be at an oddly elevated observation gondola...?

because of the presence of the central core...

its too close... he'd be floating in space somewhere between ops and an upper pylon.

It was probably meant to represent the view from the gondola, but it just wasn't done very well. It is the most likely location.

Is it too close for him to be on a weapon sail tower, too?

Yes, TSN, but we're not talking about other episodes are we? I'm kidding. I absolutley hate it that they just took a model, turned it upside sown, and we're supposed to think "Hey, a new ship". So, to not let my intelligence be mocked, that baby is a Sydney class, and as for the other ship, the captain was drunk and they had to back up...

I disagree. For one thing, this ship has green impulse engines. The Sydney doesn't. For another, I think you'll find that this ship is a bit smaller then the Sydney class could be.

This model started life as a big shuttle, but it was extensively rebuilt to become the Sydney. It shouldn't be too hard to remove some of those modifications, switch a few things around, and have a third ship out of it that doesn't look too much like its predecessors.

looks green to me

I think I mentioned as much in the SWDAO

If it was the real Sydney Class - i.e. scotty's - it'd be much bigger...

I reckon - that the warp field geometry of the ship - i.e. it's shape is a good one...

so maybe it was downsized and then that lead to the idea of the runabout Danube class.

Sol: It has green impulse engines, so it can't be a Sydney? Does that mean the E-C can't be an Ambassador because it has blue impulse engines?

In and of itself, no. But if the ship had been upside and a bit smaller, I'd have to admit that something was up.
