To Rick Sternbach: Enterprise-E Warp Core

[Shipbuilder]

Mr. Sternbach,

2 Questions w/r to the Enterprise-E's warp core.

In the Nemesis behind-the-scenes footage, Scott Herbertson is shown discussing a floorplan of the Stage 17 Engineering set from Nemesis. I don't recall seeing any of the blueprints for this set during the auction or subsequent resales. Since Mr. Herbertson doesn't frequent the boards, would you happen to know if there are any images of the Enterprise-E's Engineering floorplan available, good enough to get some scale data for a modelling project? I understand the Nemesis set was alittle different from the Insurrection and First Contact versions but I'm mainly interested in the warp core itself which I believe stayed the same.

2nd question:
In a Star Trek The Magazine article, there is a foldout graphic of the Enterprise-E's Engineering set that shows the upper portion of the warp core being fed by 7 matter feeds (1 in the center with 6 surrounding). Was this the actual intent of the set design or is it more of a single "lobed" matter feed?

Thanks for continuing to talk with your fans

Sorry, I don't have any good info on Engineering; I wasn't part of the feature art department for any of the movies after TMP.
