Mwa! Look at the ship view at the end of the clip. It's not like what we see in TOS! Its' not a tripartite ship! It's not obsidian! It's...

Well, I'll tell you tomorrow in the tech review. [Razz]

Huh?

I only see the "futiristic ship" in the launch bay and a bunch of Suliban pods chasing Enterprise. Or is that white cross-shaped blob supposed be from the 'Tholianischischer!'?

Yeah, I caught it the second time I saw the preview for it (seeing UPN shows it 4 times during the ep) in the asteroids or whatever they were flying through. I think it is fair to say that it looks as comparitive to the tholian ship in TOS as the romulan bird-of-preys between the two series looked. The same, but different.

PS the "future ship" looks like crap...i was hoping something more Aeon-esque.

They look more like mines or something, there seems to be one flying off of the Suliban ship as it explodes. If they are ships, they must be unmanned. They don't look any bigger than the Cell ships.

The Tholian ships in TOS were pretty small themselves, though -- only 25 to 30 meters, IIRC.

Well, you can see them flying in front of and behind the E. Some approximate length could be derived from that.

Marvel at my low quality image!

My take on it, anyway.
