BTW... in case you were interested,
 
During the filming (on the lot) of FC, you had the following going on:
 
Voyager getting ready to start up for the new season in stages 8, 9 and the 
overflow stage (16). In stage 9 the area for the Hollodeck and cargo bay (the 
doors of which came from the "D"), was also used for storgage of the extra 
Borg equipment (mainly made from plastic). On stage 16 was the half remaining 
bridge set from the Excelsior from the "Flashback" epsiode of Voyager. They 
were deciding on shipping it to Vegas for the "Trek experience" and then 
decided to film a CD and rebuilt it. The only "talent" used on this CD was 
John DeLancy and it was shot pure Video.. not film.
 
And.. it memory serves they were doing something on stage 10 that had to do 
with Voyager..  but I might be running this together from some other time. 
It was a planet set. The last project on that set was from JAG and it was an 
aircraft carrier's conning tower. 
 
DS-9 was gearing up for the season start.. and they had already filmed the 
"Defiant" scenes from the beginning of FC. After they did, they pulled some 
of the set parts to use in the movie on the "E". The Defiant set was then 
rebuilt/recarpeted. DS-9 also uses three stages, stage 17-18 and 7 I think it 
is.
 
Over in the stage where the original TOS and MI series were filmed, they were 
building and then shot the Bridge for the "E". This seemed to be the first 
filming they did when they got back from location. On stage 14 was the "E" 
engine room, most of the corridors, the interior of the Phoenix, the set used 
where Picard shows that they're in outer space, etc etc. On stage 15 was the 
deflector dish (I had a conversation standing on the edge of it while they 
were building it).
 
Patrick Stewart's dressing room was located right outside 14 under the "Ubu" 
basketball hoop.
 
At that time most of the lot was pure Trek and it was an exciting time! :)
 
One month before the release of FC, they pulled the "E"'s corridors back from 
storage and did some second unit filming at the last moment. This was on 
stage 29 if I remember correctly. I do tend to run some of this stuff 
together.. but I hope this was insightful for you.
