if these pods are above the bridge - do these take on higher deck numbers - or and alternate deck listing like deck-1, -2 or deck pod1, pod2?

I believe,
decks that are numbered contain life support for biological organisms.
Further, I believe,
the sensor pods do not contain life support and filled with mechanical equipment

Well, since the pods seem to be modular (I assume you're talking about ships like the Nebula...), including them in the same numbering scheme as the rest of the ship probably wouldn't be a good idea. If a pod w/ a different number of decks is put on there, all the doors will have to be repainted... *grin*

Maybe the pod decks (if they have them at all) are lettered, rather than numbered.

What about Akira class? The pod on the Akira doesn't look modular, but is big enough to have a few decks in it

Why couldn't it be modular?

According to UP2, they are modular. Speaking of UP2, where is it? Has the STZone died already?
