Enterprise E saucer separation


Recommended Posts

A long time ago in a place I've no idea where I read that one of the many concepts for the ORIGINAL Enterprise was to have the saucer seperate just like they did for the Enterprise D, only in this case the saucer would be the combat section while the rest of the ship stayed out of trouble. From memory they didn't proceed with this due to both budget and model complexity.

What about 1701 refit/1701-A? That also has full drawings etc by the original designer showing how it separates. Heck, the final model even has the red ordnance "blast here" markings painted on either side of the separation groove! Now that one is intended as a one-time, one-way separation...
