In Best of Both Worlds Part II there was one last great sequence when Data and Worf beam on board the Borg cube from a shuttlecraft.
I always thought that they launched from the Stardrive battle section, either using shuttle bay 2 or 3.Now, ten years later while watching the episode again, I'm thinking I may have misunderstood the sequence.
If I'm reconstucting this correctly, Riker disengages the saucer, fully expecting Picard to ignore the saucer. While the Borg are attacting the Stardrive section, Data and Worf launch from Shuttlebay 1 in the saucer section. After they are safely away, Shelby starts the antimater barrage, which is pretty, but only designed to distract the Borg yet again from noticing the shuttle approaching from a different angle.
This would explain the Stardrive section being visible from the shuttle's window.... the shuttle passes it as it flys away from the saucer section.
Have I finally got this sequence right... ten years late?

The NCC registries are obviously NOT chronological. Get over it!
