Hi folks, im a new guy to the forums, i basically joined so i could get s community answer to a question thats probably been asked a billion times.
Where can i get my hands on complete deck plans for the refit enterprise, or at a pinch, the A?
I've searched the net and these forums and come up with nothing but dead links, anyone that can tell me where to find em gets my utmost thanks.
Besides that i hope my posts from now on are a little more interesting so hi everyone.

Dont know if there are specific plans, but that's probably your best bet.

A fella by the name of David Schmidt in Canada made up a set of deck plans. They're not totally accurate, but the only deck plan set I've ever seen. The TMP set only gives you views of the bridge and I think the officers lounge, but not much of anything else in the way of interior views. The David Schmidt set is pretty nice, IMO. Not a bad buy if you can get your hands on them.

Didn't our one-time comrade Ryan McReynolds particpate in the creation of some deck plans from this era, as well? And I don't think he was the only one. But, then, I am often wrong.

thanks for the multitude of replies everyone, does this David Schmidt have a website or email address for me to get the plans or does anyone have them saved that could email me them?

To my understanding it was possible for the constitution class cruisers to separate the primary hull and even for it to land, the secondary hull in that case would need some kind of control facility.

I want the ST:V version where the Enterprise has 72 decks.

...Or then just a big demolition charge.
I mean, the secondary hull wouldn't have much left to control after separation, lacking impulse drive and all. The ship isn't supposed to become two through separation, it's supposed to become half!
Still, it would be useful to have "bridges" all over the ship, in both hulls, for non-separated combat operations. The ship could plausibly go on fighting with half the saucer gone; such damage would destroy both the primary and secondary saucer bridges, but a secondary hull facility could carry on the fighting.

The saucer (supposedly) could seperate as an emergency measure and was capable of planetfall, but I don't think the ship was ever intended to operate that way. Saucer reconnection would've been impossible without a starbase facility. I remember reading this somewhere.

There is a storyboard layout for an alternate endinf to TMP where the Klingons disinigrated by V'Ger were restored, open fireon the Enterprise's secondary gull and the saucer alone goes after them.....and then the end credits roll.
Thankfully this was not used, as it looks like shit even on the storyboards and the saucer operating alone looks like something from the old Lost in Space TV show.
It would ave been a awful way to end the (already awful at times) movie.
