[announcer speak] From the 'Life Line' promo, the Voyager type speedboat shuttle and... Jupiter station!! [/announcer speak]
Either that is proof of the fact that the speedboat shuttle is NOT made on Voyager for the first time. Or Seven has got that warp 10 plothole sealed...

I never thought that the speedboat shuttles were designed on Voyager. I just figured that that's the first time we got to see 'em. I've seen cutaway posters showing them on the Ent. E too.

In the promo we can see the shuttle even closer then that, but unfortunatly it's hard to read the registry. It looks to me like it just says NCC-74656...

After seeing the episode, I think the station looks cool. Also, the "saucers" are not Ambassador saucers or anything similar. It's custom designed. And it looks like the station has escape pods (on the saucers). The first I've ever seen on a Starfleet station.
And if they're up to the Mark IV EMH, does that mean the E-E no longer has the Mark I? Or the Prometheus no longer has the Mark II?
Wonder if Starfleet will ever decide to use the Mark I for medical use again?

I doubt it... the only EMH Mark I that's going to remain a doctor will be Voyager's. The Doc has the holo-emiiter, a now complicated program that even will give that EMH Mark VI a run for it's protons, and of course the fact that the Doc will be recognized as a lifeform like Data if Starfleet decides to analyze him.
Jupiter Station looks cool though... but where is the cafe? And when did Dr. Zimmerman visit DS9?

Justin: That's mark IV not VI. And Zimmerman visited DS9 in the episode 'Doctor Bashir, I Presume', where he wanted to use Bashir as template for the EMH Mark II. In this episode we came to know that Bashir is genetically enhanced (which is why he did not became the template).

Regarding Zimmerman, he certainly got a lot older since "Doctor Bashir, I Presume". Also I assume that Zimmerman dropped out of Starfleet since he wasn't wearing his gold uniform. But if Starfleet used something I was very proud of to clean waste that had my face on it I'd hand in my resignation too.

I think it was the LMH (Longterm Medical Holographic Program) that he wanted to model on Bashir. And I was really hoping they would explain why he looks so much older. I haven't seen the ep yet, but that little detail is going to bug me I think.

Regarding Jupiter station, Rick Sternbach recently said the following:
quote:Bingo! Sort of. Sharp eye, but those aren't Galaxy saucers, but more like Ent-C hulls with mods. They're not detachable, but they do have all the right parts, like phasers and escape pods. It's a nicely armed station, what with the amount of potential military threats and sci-tech espionage. These are ship hulls that aren't worth repairing for high warp after long periods of wear, so they jammed six of 'em together.

Ooh, great! Now they make crappy stations out of old saucers.
Seems like Starfleet has a complete and total lack of budget. They use 100-year old Excelsiors and Mirandas and still have those *** horses in San Fransisco instead of fancy ST-style cars!!! The 'no-money' economy is probably not working (looks like the communism-idea that went totally wrong in Russia)!

Well, there is such a thing as not SPENDING EVERYTHING YOU HAVE ON THE BIGGEST AND BEST THINGS RIGHT NOW NOW NOW! MUST REPLACE EVERYTHING A DAY OLD! I mean, really...it seems like the Excelsiors and Mirandas are perfectly adequate. What horses are you referring to?

Exactly Frank, as Geordi put it, "Just because something's old doesn't mean you throw it out", or something along those lines.
The Excelsior and Miranda classes have been around for a very long time, but they still work and are useful. Infact it would make less sense just to scrap them simply because they're old.
As for the horse-drawn carridges which I think you were referring to, I admit, I'd like to see some sort of 24th century car. However most people probably use transporters or shuttlebuses for long, even short distance travel.
