[/qb][/QUOTE]I'd say between the pylons on the secondary hull, facing aft over the top of the hanger deck. It would explain why the nacelles look so HUGE if they're not actually attached yet in this shot and are just out of position. As for the whole landing issue; for years we've accepted that the saucer could land quite happily by itself, but for the whole ship I think it's only practical if there's a purpose built docking berth for it to sit on. I can't see much space being allocated in the secondary hull for landing gear. The only potential problem I have with it's take off abilities is that I'm not sure the thrusters are man enough by themselves and using the impulse engines might not be a good idea, at least until it's clear of the drydock. Perhaps the real function of those red triangles under the saucer are the take off thrusters with the "plasma vents" on the pylons as stabilisers. ;) [/QB][/QUOTE]
