[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] I'm all for pretending that the Vulcan/Probert shuttle never was standard Starfleet starship-auxiliary hardware. However, I'd prefer a little more diversity than claiming that the ship carries 4-6 shuttles identical to the two we saw in ST5. Moreover, in that particular movie, plot logic :p dictates that there only were two shuttles aboard. Or at least that the rest of the shuttles aboard were not capable of rescuing Kirk from the planet when transporters were down. The situation in ST5 may not describe the standard operational complement all that well, but then again, it may... I'd personally go for a complement of 2 or if necessary 4 shuttles of the type we saw, 2-6 workbees for deep space repairs, and perhaps one or two special craft, as TAS suggests there can be rather diverse vessels aboard. Of course, "Mudd's Passion" probably should be taken as an exceptional situation, as a shuttlebay so chock full of stuff wouldn't be very functional. For the TOS ship, I'd also suggest 2 standard shuttles in operational condition to have been the usual case, and 4 being the rarely attained maximum. Otherwise, more shuttles should have been dispatched in "The Galileo Seven". Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
