How does this sound? At the start of the film, there is an attack on V'ger by only one Klingon D-7, and then later 3 more come into the story to seek revenge for their lost ship. Then we get two Klingon scenes... I think the Klingons would send in more firepower for revenge.

I had a nice reply lined up and Firefox promptly crashed on me so i'll keep it short and sweet this time.

I guess it lends to the idea that two D7's would be a lot of firepower compared to a ship that's been around for circa 100 years. I haven't really tried to match up the visuals for a quick concept but there is probably enough of what would be needed to completely replace the opening exterior shots...

and on a somewhat similar note...Although it would probably be a lot easier to tweak the matte painting - it just looks way wrong compared to the daytime close-up shots..

[please forgive the crudeness of the visuals]
