Not available. If anyone wants to capture it, it's the scene at the beginning, just before Quark tells Rom about the kidnapping of their Moogie.

Are you sure you weren't seeing either an Akira or a Yeager?

I thought that was only seen in the DS9TM...

Seems I am the only one to believe in the Akira/Intrepid kitbash. The saucer is almost definitely an Intrepid saucer, the shape, the characteristic hump and the location of the bridge are all correct. It could be the infamous Intrepid/Constitution kitbash from the DS9TM, but the nacelles are definitely (fortunately) not taken from the Constitution. The nacelle pylons are attached to the top of the engineering hull. They look like Akira pylons and seem to run downwards at an angle of 10�-20� to the horizontal plane. The nacelles have a red Bussard collector, a big and a small blue area, just like Akira nacelles.

Definitely the arse end of an Akira. But there is no way that that is an Intrepid saucer. Look at the foward underside - the shape is entirely wrong.

Hey, that's exactly what I was looking for.
I'm not 100% sure about the saucer. Let's try to analyze what we see: - The shape is rather Sovereign/Intrepid-oval than circular. - The forward end might be less pointed than an Intrepid saucer. - The "hump" is where it should be on an Intrepid saucer, and so is the bridge. - There is some kind of engineering hull behind the saucer, not underneath. - The nacelle is almost definitely an Akira type.
Maybe the ship is actually an Akira, because the saucer seems to be partially shaded by what could be the catamaran hull. Still, I have some problems with this solution: - It's definitely not a side view, but an angled view of the saucer (see its rounded "underside"). The two catamaran hulls, however, are not visible, and if the thing above the engineering hull/catamaran is the weapon pod, this section of the ship looks like in a side view. - The catamaran hull of the Akira begins close to the forward end of the saucer and encloses the bridge. This is not the case in the vidcap.
