Is it really because the showrruners thought viewers would be too stupid and confused to realize that it wasn’t actually the USS Voyager fighting the Dominion?

(DS9: "Sacrifice of Angels") Anyone know?

It was still in use in the 25th century. Located behind this office was a small medical laboratory facility. As you mentioned, it doesn't have much in the way of lab space (needed for the unusual things you might encounter exploring away from support). At less than half the size of a Galaxy-class starship, it was considered "quick and smart." Think of this like a cartographer following the trail of Lewis and Clark- they get to claim all the glory, but the cartographer is the one who makes sure all the space in between gets mapped.Consider the size and crew complement of the Nova versus the Intrepid. "I redid the warp nacelles in the same fashion, and was finally able to add the proper dimensional copper striping that went across the blue nacelle surface.
Since Though Sternbach had not got around to draw up the final construction blueprints for the design, he did do a preliminary 5 piece set of non-final blueprints for a slightly different earlier design variation. Since the saucer is quite obviously the same as on the Intrepid class and the rest of the components are indefinite, the Elkins must be 360m long. (VOY reference: Star Trek: Voyager, STO video game: Star Trek Online) (DS9: "Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges") The USS Bellerophon (NCC-74705) was a 24th century Federation Intrepid-class starship operated by Starfleet.

The physical studio model, essentially a collaborative design effort by Sternbach, The model was also outfitted with tiny still photographs of interior settings, positioned behind the windows, echoing what had been done fifteen years earlier with the Not only that, the model was also equipped with an aft The eleventh-hour application of the ships graphics and decals, was done by Mike Okuda and "Tony Meininger’s crew did a spectacular job under enormous time constraints.

Excelsior Variant (USS Centaur) Model. An explorer goes to unexplored territory, briefly scans what is in the sector, does an initial survey of interesting systems, and moves on. The Intrepid-class was a type of Federation starship in service to Starfleet in the late 24th century, classified as a cruiser as well as a science vessel. Aside from a single episode of DS9 where an Intrepid-class ship is used to transport Dr. Bashir to Romulus, we never see Intrepid-class outside of Star Trek Voyager. "It's something you don't really pick out unless you know it's there, but if you look at the bottom of the ship there are these three darker patches that aren't supposed to be there – it's where there are some ports and hull plating. A final refinement was performed long after its use as a television production asset, by Lebowitz and Stringer at The versatility of the CGI model also meant that alterations beyond mere refining could be performed on the model. I know they had sustained damage during Caretaker, but that doesn't excuse it- a long range explorer should be capable of taking care of itself, away from support, for extended periods of time.I think this was more a meta screw-up than meant as canon. Following some obf the principals from above, the ship uses it's variable warp geometry to enter into the neutral zone far more quietly than other ships and then uses the large sensor array and bio neural circuitry to quickly collect and analyse data before returning rapidly to safer spacefirst ship after first contract Don't really know what to call this but.... After the galaxy class or ambassador vessels arrive and complete first contact, other ships start arriving to start integrating the new nation into the federation. Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcutsCookies help us deliver our Services. Elkins fought in the Dominion War. There is no reason why 444.39m as stated in the DS9TM should be correct. The Intrepid-class starships are 345 meters in length, have a sustainable cruise velocity of warp 9.975, and 15 decks. That whole concept was abandoned immediately though it would seem.The Intrepid class is actually larger than the Constitution class.It's very possible that the ship simply wasn't ready. Give it Fast engines so a huge area can be covered and the ship becomes a resource that can be allocated per starbase rather than an independent ship.The only confusion comes from the weapons systems.
After Bonchune was done with all the modifications, a copy of the improved CGI model was, upon approval by Dan Curry and Mitch Suskin, turned over to While the CGI model was in use during the last four seasons of "For almost all the regular CG shots we created, the As to the limited usage of the high resolution version, much of the extreme close-ups of which being painstakingly worked upon by Kuramura, Bonchune additionally stated, "Yet, Bonchune has also pointed out that not all extreme close-ups required work on the entire CGI model initially, "Bonchune went on clarifying that fellow CGI artists at Foundation kept on refining the model throughout the remainder of the series as the need arose for specific episodes, especially for extreme close-ups.

Only twenty some torpedo's? This is sort of like what the Enterprise did in the Original Series. One of the more drastic alterations was the ever increasing level of damage sustained by the Other noticeable alterations concerned the outfitting of the The (high-resolution) CGI model went on to make several appearances in and onto licensed As a precaution and back-up, Stipes and his visual effects colleague The experience garnered by SBS proved useful though, when it came to digitizing the Fandom may earn an affiliate commission on sales made from links on this page.Fandom may earn an affiliate commission on sales made from links on this page.Take your favorite fandoms with you and never miss a beat. In front of the warp core was a large monitoring area on the lower engineering level.
