> I’m looking at the frames in question now. It’s mostly a straight-on aft shot, so I can’t tell very much about it. It definitely has warp nacelles, in what appears to be a fixed position very like NX-01. It has 7 thrusters in the rear, 3 large and 4 small, with the 4 small in a centered square around the largest port and the other two large ports flanking. These may be impulse engines, as they resemble the thrusters in the rear shot of NX-01 leaving orbit a few seconds later. NX-01 only shows 4 ports, in a different arrangement, in that shot.

The front seems to show the classic saucer (the perspective could be throwing me off–it might be spherical) attached to a rectangular central section. The entire body is shallow compared to its width–the proportions look similar to the X33. The surface is highly irregular, rather than the smooth hull we’ve seen elsewhere.

Or it might not be. \*\*

Could this ship be the Conastoga capable of traveling at what, a wopping Warp 1.2?
