If you've been missing ye olden days of squinting at barely-readable screens of text, long no more for "New Ground"(RNG5) has something you need!
http://tng.trekcore.com/hd/thumbnails.p ... 19&page=14
Looking here, we see two images of Riker's console . . . most of the details called out are relatively obvious and covered elsewhere, but there's some interesting bits in a block of text on the right, including length, width, height, mass, and more.
The problem? You can barely read it, naturally.
What do you see?

Re: Size and Mass Data from "New Ground"[RNG5]
I made an enhanced image with text markups of some of the stuff I managed to read... but the file apparently wasn't saved. So instead here's a summery:
(???) (???) = ?47 Meters
(???) Height = 472 Meters
(???) Width = 128 Meters
Gross Vehicle Mass = 1,???,??? Tons
STD Crew Complement =1,012 Persons
Maximum (?Disk?) Capacity = 15,??? Persons
Maximum Sustainable Speed = Warp ?.2
Maximum (???) Speed = Warp ?.9
It looks like the height and width are swapped, at least in how I've read it.

Good catch on height and width. Screws, too.
The mass looks like it starts with a 5 or 6 to me, which is interesting given the 4 the technical manuals start with.

I could almost believe a "5," but it looks more like a "1" to me, though. 5 million something makes a lot more sense given the (very small amount) of canonical mass data.
I suppose if someone were really patient with the Blu-Ray, they could paste together several frames and get more information out of the image.

Re: Size and Mass Data from "New Ground"[RNG5]
I don't think it would provide any greater data. Even the episodes' masters have a low resolution; the bu-ray format would merely upscale all that.Jedi Master Spock wrote:I could almost believe a "5," but it looks more like a "1" to me, though. 5 million something makes a lot more sense given the (very small amount) of canonical mass data.

Well, if you're clever enough, multiple frames are like a resolution upgrade. Takes work, though.Mr. Oragahn wrote:I don't think it would provide any greater data.

Re: Size and Mass Data from "New Ground"[RNG5]
You'd have to isolate, in each frame, the regions of the screen that seem readable as the granularity keeps changing, then sort them all out and produce a composition of all that into one single picture. What a work!
