[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] Why assume the dock would be built between the movies? It could just as well be something from Archer's era. That would also help explain the anachronistic look of the thing, "space doors" and all... AFAIK, we have never seen ships repaired or built within the mushroom-style spacedock or starbases. Despite the name "spacedock", I always took the mushroom to be more like "harbor" than a "dock". Ships in operational condition would dock there for crew rotation and stuff like that, and the most extensive services the mushroom could offer would be fresh air, water and in-flight snacks. The gridwork drydocks would be real "docks", capable of actually performing maintenance and repair work on the ships. Which would explain ST:TMP and "Generations", where the recently built/repaired hero ship departed a drydock and not the spacedock. But yeah, it would have been nice and logical if the Enterprise had been in spacedock in ST3... No repairs or refits in that movie that we know of. As for docking with the engineering section and not the torp deck... Probert seems to have pre-empted that problem. He specifically designed the two docking locations to be identical, down to the markings and porthole placements. There's nothing in ST2 to really suggest Kirk docked with the engineering section - they even cut short the final "aligning" scene so that one can't tell exactly where the pod is headed.
