[QUOTE]Originally posted by Boris: [QB] The 'waverider'-shuttle is an atmospheric craft, capable of Mach 5 and above according to Sternbach. No mention is made of its space capabilities in the article - it may not have impulse engines since those do not appear to function well within the atmosphere (Timo's thoughts). The Voyager herself looks...well rounded likewise. The Equinox could take some weight off the forward secondary hull. I kept looking for the forward launchers in the area just above the secondary hull deflector, because that's where the MSD puts them. Then I saw the two rather obvious tubes - another case where the finished model contradicts the MSD. The raised area are the aft launchers, most likely. There is a prelim schematic (unlabeled) which shows two tubes protruding out. The area on the front bottom where the registry is located corresponds to the horizontal part of the saucer deflector - maybe it's a removable sensor array? I count 20 pods total. With a crew of about 80, that works out to a minimum of four people per pod. They look like Voyager's pods which have a capacity of at least six people. Are transporter emitters the yellowish rectangles on each side of the bridge escape pods? They are yellow on Voyager. Also, what's the little alcove on the ventral side of the tail? There is also an aft tractor beam emitter between the nacelle pylons. Boris [This message has been edited by Boris (edited May 02, 2000).] [/QB][/QUOTE]
