OK this is becouse some of us dont think so and some of us do! i jsut want to know what evrey one else thinks. My Proof that it dose folows.

Star Trek the Magazine (whyd it have to end ) March 03 Volume 3 issue 11 pg 49-50. 2 pages croped a bit to look desent and not take up to much room, one is pg49 w/images and the other pg 50 the text on it, i also took the liberty to make it esser to read the text, if you whant i can post the uninhanced one.

note, for the sake of the site and my poor computer, i have jsut given links.

QUOTE
2) Pre-production drawings of the Sovereign class show a saucer separation. In separated mode, the quantum torpedo tube/captain's yacht is connected to the engineering hull. This configuration is also reproduced in the parts of the AMT/Ertl model kit. It is unlikely, however, that the ship is actually separable.




Note the last sentence cant not be sadi to be cannon becouse it was not said by any one in the ST franchise, BUT also note that the model was made to look seperatible. that is cannon.

The drawings look genuine. I've seen some of the other drawings by John Eaves (who designed the ship) and it fits into the scheme. I think the Sovereign is build with seperation abilities, we just haven't seen it yet.

PS: There is even some info floating around, that one episode script of TOS (!) included at least mentioning a saucer seperation for the Constitution-class, however that was never included in the final episode.

well....i dont really know but I would guess that it does NOT have saucer seperation,

the proof?

in star trek first contact, the borg were taking over the ship, they started at engineering, if the sov could do a saucer speration, they SHOULD have done that since then the borg couldn't assimilate the rest of the ship, however they didn't so my guess would be that it can't do it.

however I wouldn't be surprised if it can

lol the soz could have a built in borg analitation kit on every deck granteed to wipe out the collective, but it would make one hell of a boring film, borg comes on the take one drone out killing the whole lot, again it would be boring the borg take over einginering so they just leave them behind.

It can't seperate the saucer look at this then you would agree.

OK saved the file and looked at it. i can see were this may bring one to beleive that the ship cant seperate. BUT. note. there are two computercores, the turbo lifts run right under the brakeing point and...well lol i cant see much more it all fuzzes out. this relay dosnt change my mind all that much lol but thanks Azmodan. i like you already.

Something about that picture looks... cropped I could have sworn the image's in fc-nemisis depicted the soverign as somewhat longer. I looks somewhat "stubby"
