[QUOTE]Originally posted by Reverend: [QB] [QUOTE] (But NOT a fighter carrier. The Galaxy-class ships with their massive main shuttlebays should have done that.) [/QUOTE]You'd think so but have you actually had a look at the blueprints to see if it would work? I just did and I'm afraid that you can only get one starfleet attack fighter (30 x 31m) onto a Galaxy class ship, two at a pinch. Oh sure they fit through the door well enough but the internal tower prevents a ship that big from going any further into the shuttlebay. Even without those obstructions you would only be able to store 5 of those things with the space avalible..6 or 7 if you have a couple permanently on the launch deck. Only a specially modified Galaxy with most, if not all of deck 4 hollowed out and most of decks 5 through 10 given over to fighter suppors & storage. Then if you think about it, if a Galaxy couldn't do it, then neither could a Shelly ;-) The Akira is the only shp big enough and with enough interior shuttlebay space to realistically support even a single squadron of fighters. Oh and incase anyone is interested, a Galaxy can just about manage to store 3 Runabouts, while still keeping the flight deck and cargo loading docks clear. However, I think if the E-D had a Runabout permanently assigned to it, it was the only one. Any more than that would take up too much space IMHO. [/QB][/QUOTE]
