Great list. The Bird of Prey is the greatest ship design in all of Star Trek, and this is coming from someone who adores the Excelsior and refit Enterprise.

Addendum: I'm curious as to where you'd put the Husnock warship.

No love for the Xindi Aquatic Cruiser? That ship has such an elegant design

Don't know how controversial my opinion is, but I just never liked any of the cardassian ship designs (their stations are cool)

Have the awesome D'Deridex and the overused Klingon BoP swap places and this would be a pretty good list. Maybe ditch the Galor and add in the ENT Romulan BoP instead. Jolan tru.

I'm not sure if shuttles are allowed but I'd have included the Romulan one from DS9 in my list.

Now that you mention it, was actually in the (deleted) scene. So going by the silhouette the Eagle would be the same smaller but unknown ship class as the Emden and the Ahwahnee. https://movies.trekcore.com...

Eagle NCC-956 a smaller ship?
I was doing an image search on Operation Retrieve, and I came across a picture of one of the pages that shows the Eagle, Potemkin, and Excelsior playing their parts in the plan. The Eagle is represented by a smaller ship silhouette than the Constitution-class Potemkin, as the Excelsior is represented by a larger silhouette. I searched for the source of this image, but I'm not sure if it is a complete fan creation or a recreation of a sheaf of charts found in the production trash. Have you seen it? Have you heard about it? This would be interesting as a case of the TNG production crew using their trick to make the Fleet feel larger during the Movie era.

In 2379, a medium-sized dispute broke out between the Kromsapiods and the Talarians over two planets in the Goliana system. The Talarians wanted to found a new colony there, unaware that the two planets serve as traditional hunting grounds for the Kromsapiods. Starfleet agreed to serve as a neutral mediator for the two parties, but due to the repeated outbreaks of violence on both sides, they wanted to play it safe and sent a small fighter escort with the diplomatic ship.

Someone once asked me to make a display looking like someone from TNG or beyond was researching older starship designs. This is what I came up with

#StarTrekTNG's "The Nth Degree" gives us this great shot of the large animated sickbay monitor. The part of the display that features the "medical insurance coverage available" injoke is just out of frame, so here's a second screenshot from "Future Imperfect", showing that barely seen joke. :-)

#StarTrekTNG's "The Child" is the only episode in which we get this beautiful wide bridge shot, filmed from right inside the main viewscreen, through the ready room doors, showing the (immobile) stars seen through the ready room window. Makes you understand how this all fits together.😊

You can tell that the footage was not filmed for #StarTrekTOS' "Space Seed"➡️ as Sulu (in the footage filmed with "Arena"⬅️) is replaced by Spinelli in the new footage ↗️. Harrison now wears a red uniform ↘️, sits at Environmental and the overhead displays are the newly updated, dark versions. 3/3

Here's the previously unseen footage of Kirk and Spock from #StarTrekTOS' "Space Seed"⬇️, filmed during the production of "Arena"⬆️. The camera setup is identical but instead of DePaul, Hadley is at the helm and Harrison (blue) has taken over from him at the Engineering Sub-Systems station. 2/3

It seems that during the production of "Arena", it was decided to film some additional bridge/viewscreen stock footage shots of Kirk and Spock (only seen in "Space Seed") Kirk (first seen in "This Side of Paradise") and Spock (debuting as late as season 3) for re-use in later episodes . 🧵 1/3

Interestingly, the bridge viewscreen footage seen in #StarTrekTOS' "Arena" (3rd row) is not re-used in "Return to Tomorrow". The footage of Kirk stepping forward, seen in the latter episode (1st+2nd row) comes before the "Arena" footage, hasn't been seen before and debits here. 4/4

Close examination of the footage in the #StarTrekTOS season 2 episode "Return to Tomorrow" (outer rim) and the season 1 footage from "Arena" (inner rectangle) reveals that more of the original footage is seen in the season 2 episode, as the footage in "Arena" is cropped on all sides. 3/4

As the camera switches from stock footage from season 1's "Arena"⬆️ to a reverse angle shot, using footage newly filmed for season 2's "Return to Tomorrow"⬇️, Lt. Hadley suddenly has moved to the navigation station (where Lt. DePaul was in "Arena"). Sulu is at the helm in both shots. 2/4

Bridge footage (focusing on the main viewscreen) originally filmed for #StarTrekTOS' season 1's "Arena"⬇️ also appears in season 2's "Return to Tomorrow"⬆️. Lt. Hadley can be seen at the Engineering Sub-Systems station to the left of the main viewscreen in this season 1 footage. 🧵 1/4

I love that Captain Pike has an old-fashioned television in his mountain hut in the #StarTrekSNW pilot episode "Strange New Worlds"⬆️ This clearly is a reference to the large TV in his quarters on the USS Enterprise in #StarTrekTOS "The Cage"⬇️! Same base wood color even! 😊
