Obvious redressed sets

The Defiant's bridge and the fake "Delta Flyer" bridge in an episode of VOY.

The Defiant's bridge was used quite a bit after DS9 ended production.

Off the top of my head:

-The aforementioned bridge of the fake Delta Flyer.
-The bridge of the Ferengi ship in Voyager's Inside Man.
-The bridges of Earth freighters in Enterprise's Fortunate Son and Horizon.
-The bridge of the Vulcan ship T'Pol's ancestor served on in Carbon Creek.
-The bridge of the Xindi Reptillian cruiser in S3 on Enterprise.

Another set redress that hasn't been mentioned yet, the bridge of the Romulan warbird Valdore in Nemesis was a redress of the Enterprise E's bridge.

Insurrection reused quite a few sets from DS9 and Voyager.
-Enterprise E's sickbay was Voyager's sickbay (already done in First Contact).
-Picard's quarters were Janeway's quarters.
-Deanna Troi's office was Janeway's ready room.
-The library was Voyager's engine room.
-The cockpit of Data's scout ship was the cockpit of the Type 9 shuttle from Voyager.
-The cockpit of the shuttle Picard and Worf fought Data in was a runabout cockpit.

DS9 seemed to have a generic starship bridge set. It was used for the bridge of the Saratoga in Emissary, the bridge of the Prometheus in Second Sight, and the bridge of the Romulan warbird in The Die Is Cast.

Voyager had a generic alien craft cockpit. It was used for the timeship Aeon in Future's End, the alien merchant's ship in Retrospect, and Kes's ship in Fury.
 
Ex-Astris-Scientia has a good list (and pics!) of many of these on this page. Scroll down to the "Props & Sets" section and you'll see the "Re-Used...." stuff.
 
That was a reality check for me when I visited the set of TNG on several occasions. I was surprised at how they re-used so many familiar sets with a little window dressing. I cannot recall specifics, but I remember thinking, "my world has just gotten a little smaller". :vulcan:
 
The multiple re-uses of Ten Forward. They tried to pass it off as a theatre in "Frame of Mind". Why they didn't just say the play was being held in Ten Forward I don't know.

Valiant/Defiant

Ent-D engine room/Ent-A engine room (Undiscovered Country)


Those actually make sense. The entire rim of the saucer and the sides of the engineering hull have the ten-forward type of windows, so there are doubtless other rooms with the same window layout on the ship, so why not a theatre ?

And it does not make sense for the Valiant to look entirely different than Defiant (and remember, that the same sets were used for the Sao Paulo ;) ).
 
The xtra-wide corridor we occasionally see in TNG, which is obviously engineering thanks to the presence of the closed blast door

I always just assumed it WAS Ten Forward.

It was so obvious I don't know why anybody else assumed it was meant to be some other set or some kind of theatre.

Ok, for the second time:

I'm not criticising the fact that they used the same set. The OP asked for examples and that's the first one that sprang to mind.

People seem to be assuming I have a problem with it. I really don't. ;)
 
The shipboard sets re-used in TOS:

Constellation (The Doomsday Machine)
Exeter (The Omega Glory)
Defiant (The Tholian Web)
Mirror-Enterprise (Mirror, Mirror)

I always kind of assumed that was a temporary different use of ten-forward. They were actually trying to pass it off as a different room???

I thought the redress of sickbay as a garden or whatever in The Man Trap was pretty obvious. Although, I believe that aired before sickbay was ever seen so maybe sickbay is actually the redress. ;)

Other obvious reuses are the Enterprise sets as other ships in The Tholian Web, The Doomsday Machine and The Omega Glory. We also have the E-D engineering set making an appearance in STVI.
 
The shipboard sets re-used in TOS:

Constellation (The Doomsday Machine)
Exeter (The Omega Glory)
Defiant (The Tholian Web)
Mirror-Enterprise (Mirror, Mirror)

And one of the ships in the war games in "Ultimate Computer"...forget the ship name, though.

Lexington. Bob Wesley's ship. Although Wesley's command chair was the same one as the Mirror Enterprise.

Also: The Engineering set of the 1701 was the computer room from the starbase in "The Menagerie".

I understood that both times. I got your back... is it OK to kill anyone who gets in our way or do you want zero body count? :klingon:
 
Oh, and I still maintain as I did months ago that the 'communication' set in awful movie CONGO was a redress of the bridge set...proof? Made by Paramount is all I need for proof...but check it out..its so transparent to me..

When Congo was out in theaters (1995, so it's thirteen years ago), HBO aired one of their First Look behind the scenes specials. At one point they showed a clip of Laura Linney (bet she's proud of this film :)) walking onto the Travicom set but I guess the film wasn't completely edited yet because there were a couple of insert shots that were not in the film. And I SWEAR you could see a red Okuda-designed TNG-era label on one of the electronic panels. It was years ago and maybe I was seeing things but after all, it is a Paramount film.

And one of my guilty pleasures.
 
Does anyone have a screen grab of the scene in Congo of the Comms room cause it's been years since I saw the movie and I can't imagine ever noticing the set.
