Remember that ship? Is there any place on the internet where there is a schematics of this? I know there is one somewhere on SDD but the site doesnt want to come up.
Thanks

I think this is the only picture of it I have ever seen.

There was an early design sketch of the E-E from the movie sketchbook showing such a vessel. When I checked shipschematics for the above ship if found a similar vessel.

The reason I was asking was I was trying to show progression from the Galaxy class to the Enterprise G in Renissance. (The Sovereign you ask? He says hey found a major design flaw, and was canceled. Hey,dont ask me, I didnt decide that...)

If you're talking about why they didn't end up going with the swept forward nacelle pylons, the goes story (as I recall) goes something like: They were all set to use that design when someone took a drawing of the dorsal view and drew two of those little things you put on legs of a whole chicken while it's baking on the bussard collectors. After that, it looked pretty silly.

Apart from the black things on the dorsal saucer what is so 'different' about the "preview sketch"? And what is so wrong with the supposedly incorrect MSD in FC?

I don't know about the MSD, but the Enterprise-E had forward-swept pylons, until someone pointed out it looked like a chicken, and that image stuck with the designers, so they changed a little here and there to make it less chicken-y.

Also, on this preview sketch the bottom of the saucer is curvy like the GCS meanwhile the actual Sovereign saucer underside looks, well, unfinished as a certain bird around here would say...
