[QUOTE]Originally posted by Futurama Guy: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by SoundEffect: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Spike: [qb] What were these hexagonal things on the underside of the saucer section? [/qb][/QUOTE]Sternbach himself said in a magazine interview that those segmented hexagonal details are airlock hatches from the cargo bays for specially suited EVA operations. (The special suits he may have been referring to might be the hexagonal EVA suits he drew for the TNG Tech Manual.) [/qb][/QUOTE]From the previously mentioned (in other thread) "Star Trek Voyager - Technical Guide Version 1.0": --------------------------------------- [i]"EVA Workpod: A small, elongated hexagonal capsule sized to fit one crewmember. The workpod is equipped with manipulator arms containing various tools for repair and exploration tasks outside the ship, and operates on low-power thrusters only. Voyager normall carries four workpods."[/i] --------------------------------------- Additionally: --------------------------------------- [i]"AeroWing and Dock: The bottom of the Primary Hull or saucer holds a single aerodynamic shuttle capable of atmospheric travel as well as interplanetary flight at speeds up to Warp 3. The AeroWing can carry various combinations of crew and cargo; the usual fling complement numbers four crewmembers."[/i] ---------------------------------------- So why the hell build the [i]Delta Flyer[/i], aside for the sake that it was the plot for an episode that otherwise could have involved the AeroWing lauch instead when they had the Aerowing planned out all along? Anyway, Voyager was only [b]originally[/b] supposed to have 2 standard (uhh, type 6, i guess) shuttlecraft and 4 shuttlepods. One more thing: ------------------------------------ [i]"Shuttlecraft names: We have not yet established the names for the two main Voyager shuttles or AeroWing; these will be forthcoming as scripts call for them."[/i] --------------------------------------- . . . workbee sphincters.... :rolleyes: [/QB][/QUOTE]
