Spoilers The thing in bay 12

Cockpit is interesting:

The Enterprise was able to get pull Peregrine from the surface of a planet, all on her own, with the use of a tractor beam.

If The Enterprise could pull a ship of equal size from the surface of a planet, all on her own, over 100 years prior, you'd think late 24th century Starfleet wouldn't need such a large operation to remove the Saucer of the Ent-D.
 
The Enterprise-D saucer alone weighs something like 4 million tons, and without structural integrity fields may have been in danger of breaking up. I suspect a lot of that operation was getting the saucer into a condition where it was safe to be moved.
 
I really think people need to not get too hung up on the whole "worksite at Enterprise crash scene". It was a thematic concept and is meant to simply represent a massive task

Hell, for all we know they were using the saucer as a temporary command centre while figuring out how to decontaminate the system – remove the giant trench in the planet's surface, deal with debris in orbit etc.
 
I think we saw a seat being pulled out as many as one time on TNG, we definitely saw people sitting back there.

Troi in The Ensigns Of Command springs to mind, and Riker in Rascals.
Oh I just meant they actually did it for the Picard recreation.
