This bay clearly is intended to take only these two shuttles and no random alien visitors or extra Starfleet craft.<p>I don't see any landing gear, though.

No yellow arrowheads anywhere, though.<p>No cute names, apparently. Just "Pod 1" and "Pod 2". And these seem to be lifting bodies, but are there perhaps aerodynamic surfaces in the aft part? How advanced or primitive are these things? What's the propulsion? We'd definitely need a stern view...<p>Goodbye to shoestring budgets. Double-convex curves all around these babies.

But I doubt that.)<p>Those launching arms probably don't work for real - they don't look sturdy enough to lift the shuttle props, nor is there likely to be space underneath the set floor for lowering the shuttles. More probably, CGI will be used for the launch sequence.<p>Which makes one wonder. Will the pods perhaps first be raised one level up, so that one can board them from that catwalk? That would require expensive blending of CGI and live action every time it's done. More probably, the crew will somehow climb down to the visible floor level to board the craft, and then CGI will take over.<p>Also, how does this set fit with the Enterprise exterior, and the supposed aft-facing bay doors?

Now that I had a chance to look through the whole promo clip with the shuttles, and not just the stills, it seems to me that there IS in fact an aft door to the shuttles. It seems that a flight of stairs leads down from the upper level to the upper aft part of Pod 1, and a hatch has been opened there and is visible behind the launching arm. No stairs or hatch are visible on Pod 2.<p>Presumably the shuttles will have two or three doors - the upper-aft one for boarding while docked to the ship, and the side door(s) for use on planetary surfaces. Hopefully, the aft door will incorporate an airlock, unless the whole shuttle is to be evacuated whenever the crew wants to disembark to a hostile atmosphere or vacuum.<p>This leaves very little room for propulsion - so these shuttles may not be quite that much more realistic than later-era shuttles after all.<p>Timo Saloniemi <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#E5EAEF"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>AndrewR</b> <br /><small>Member # 44</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2001,7,3,6,3,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">August 03, 2001</span> <span class="timeformat-0">06:03 AM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> I, too was wondering about an airlock.

I forgot about the Defiant's little shuttle bay. That was a pretty neat design. Single shuttle deployment, circular design, very nice. Yeah, I did like the design of that bay a lot.<p>But the runabout pads, did we ever see the runabout bay? All I can remember are seeing the pads elevate to the outer hull with the runabouts powering up as the pads stopping moving. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#E5EAEF"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Sol System</b> <br /><small>Member # 30</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2001,7,3,12,21,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">August 03, 2001</span> <span class="timeformat-0">12:21 PM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> There was a very detailed shot of the interior of the runabout storage room when the Romulan shuttle in episode *mumble* visited the station. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#A3B9CC"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Aban Rune</b> <br /><small>Member # 226</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2001,7,3,12,41,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">August 03, 2001</span> <span class="timeformat-0">12:41 PM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> "In the Pale Moonlight"... a very well done episode...and yes we did get a nice interior shot.
