That leaves Penny and The Robot...
I wonder if that's why the Robot was always running out of power at the most inopportune moments...?
Damn, that kind of negates the point of sex with a robot, don't it?
Silly silly British man.
That's what you get for switching the batteries between the robot's main battery compartment and it's extended tool battery compartment; sometimes, you forget to put the batteries back to where they were.
Ok, so we have a pretty clear picture of a shuttle craft as compared to the height of the outer edge of the saucer. So if we give the shuttle a height of 1 shuttle unit, that makes the saucer roughly 10.5 shuttle units in height:
Assuming that the suttle is just under the height of a deck, that means the saucer has around 25 decks from bridge to bottom. This is a very large ship.
And if we then take the height of the saucer and compare it to the length of the ship we see that the ship is roughly 424 shuttle units.
So from there all you need to do is decide on the height of the shuttle. That works out to be:
Seems that a shuttle should be about 8 feet hi or 2.4 meters. That places the enterprise at approx 1000 meters. And when we see the shuttles in the bay, it makes pretty good sense.

Whether or not this movie has scaling issues, based on shuttle craft size, this ship is giant. Well over 700 meters.

Seems logical to moi.
another thing I was curious about after seeing the movie again:
When Enterprise warps in the debris field at Vulcan, it dodges the partial saucer section of another ship. The scale of that saucer section looks to be even larger than that of the Enterprise.
Anyone else notice that? If so, which ship was that supposed to be, and how damned big should that be in JJ scale-verse?

No, no one has noticed that.
The hull plating on that saucer lends itself to a Kevlin class ship. If that's the case/intention, then in this brief shot the Enterprise is back down to ILM's original 366m (1,200ft).

No, it is not; look at the perspective.
Perspective? The Enterprise is heading right for the saucer. and has to dive under trying to miss it, and we see it scrape the port nacelle.
If that was/is a Kelvin class ship - then the Enterprise is significantly smaller in this particular shot.

It's not. When you see the same saucer in the wide shot it's the same size as Enterprise's saucer. You need to take into account the fact that the Enterprise is turned slightly on an angle approaching the other ship, so not only is its entire saucer not even visible (for an accurate comparison) but the lateral dimension is smaller because of the roll angle.
There are no Kelvin-class ships in the fleet scene before this. They are all almost certainly much larger designs.
I assumed the saucer was from one of those four-nacelled behemoths from the departure scene. Either that or part of a starbase that used to orbit Vulcan.
Also, anyone else notice the body floating in the top right of the picture in front of the sun? Not the kind of detail we usually see in Trek.

tely!!
Are you sure? All their components seem to be similar or identical to those of the Kelvin, suggesting that they are from the same era and design.
This movie has MAJOR scaling issues when it comes to the size of its starships.
According to Trekmovie.com, the Blu-Ray (and maybe the 2-disc DVD?) of Star Trek will feature the ‘Experience the Enterprise’ interactive tour thing (from www.experience-the-enterprise.com). When the disc the film is on says 2500’ (760 meters) I’m inclined to believe it.
