Starship Spotter: rarely seen Starfleet ships!

[Admiral Jean-Luc Picard]

I'd like to start a discussion, trying to spot the various episodes that rarely-seen Starfleet ships pop in. Anyone wanna join me in this?

Let's start with the Ambassador-class, my favorite barely-seen Starfleet ship class. I'm on Memory-Alpha, and it lists the following appearances:
TNG: "Yesterday's Enterprise" / "Data's Day" / "Redemption II" - 3 episodes, that's it?
DS9: "Emissary" (Wolf 359 flashback) - Wish we saw it again on this show.
ENT: "Future Tense" (database image)
PIC: "The Star Gazer" / "No Win Scenario" (model)
Was it really in "The Star Gazer?"

Onto the Constellation-class, our first quad-nacelle ship, am I right? I always loved this bugger of a ship.
TNG: "The Battle" / "Elementary, Dear Data" / "Peak Performance" / "Redemption II"
PIC: "The Star Gazer" (display model & graphic) / "The Next Generation" (display graphic) / "The Bounty" / "Vox" (was it really in these 2?)
Additionally, Memory-Alpha says it's in the S3 end credits. I'll have to go back and watch this.
LD: "Reflections" / "I Have No Bones Yet I Must Flee" (model in both episodes)

How many quad Starfleet classes have we seen? Constellation, Prometheus, whatever class was the new Stargazer, is that it?

Starship stuff goes in Trek Tech. I will move this.

May I suggest you spend some more time looking at the various forums and reading through some discussions so you can get the hang of this place?

Thanks

I didn't realize we had a Trek-tech forum.
EDIT: Yes, I can do that, thank you.

Just seeing this new thread and figured it would be ok to post a image of a the enterprise being built with the size perspective going on for ship to person comparison.. of course I can be wrong about placing this here .. there's are a few other places recommended that I can post the image..

Yeah this is a commonly seen ship so I guess it really doesn't go here..

I always assumed built in space, but ignoring that, this is truly awesome for scale, think you!!!

The Ambassador filming model was seen four times on screen. Model kits of it painted gold were seen in all the TNG films featuring the Enterprise-E's ready room. There's also a gold model of it in Geordi's office at the Starfleet Museum.

There are nine canon four-nacelled starship classes: The Radiant class, the Nimitz class, the Cardenas class, the Hou Yi class, the Nimrod class, the Constellation class, the Cheyenne class, the Prometheus class, and the Sagan class. There are also several 32nd century four nacelled ships, if you want to count those.

Of course we count those, bring on the Merian!. Possibly the Credence and the Dresselhaus. Technically, the Prometheus has five nacelles.

#1 I think you mean the conference room. Easily seen in FC, the room is not featured in INS, and is seen for a second time in NEM, but I don't think we got any good angles to actually see what's what.

Constellation and Prometheus, I know those two. Is Sagan-class the new Stargazer in PIC S2? I remember the Cheyenne-class being something thrown together for "The Best of Both Worlds" as a destroyed background ship. Did we ever see it proper and I just forgot?

Radiant, Nimitz, Cardenas, Hou Yi, and Nimrod: where did these pop up?
Yes, 32nd century Disco ships count.

What is the Prometheus's 5th nacelle?

What is the Prometheus's 5th nacelle?

The Prometheus has a small nacelle on top of the saucer section that pops out when the ship does its go-go-gadget mode.

I read 5th as in extra, forgetting the saucer has twin nacelles just like the two halves of the back half. One pops up behind the bridge, the other pops down from where the mid-part had been latched up.

 

[farragut79]

The ship splits into three parts, the top nacelles go with the top part of the engineering section, bottom section got their nacelles, and a small fifth one pops up for the saucer.

The saucer has two nacelles, not one. You can see the lower saucer nacelle at about 1:45. Though not extended, it's the same outline as on top. Somewhere on my computer, I have the top, bottom, side, and so on shots of the actual CGI model that shows the lower saucer nacelle if you want me to find them. It's good artwork!

 

[farragut79]

So it has six nacelles!

 

[Admiral Jean-Luc Picard]

Yes, maybe, technically? Technically there are six. In regular flight, it's a quad-nacelle ship. In multi-vector-assault mode, each section has two nacelles. The answer is 2, 4, 6 depending on POV.
