These pictures are also captured from "Message in a Bottle", and show the Akira under attack by three Romulan Warbirds. They crammed a lot of detail into this ship. Since the Akira is computer generated, I would not be surprised if they have added detail since the ship first appeared in "First Contact".

Notice the position and scale of the Defiant class ship in the last two pictures. I'm pretty sure they screwed this one up. You can see in the last picture that the Defiant is in front of the Akira, which would make the length of the Defiant about 1/4 of the Akira, which contradicts the published information on these ships, as well as the other views shown in this episode.
