[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] There's a scaling problem in any case. If there's only one bay (which gets blown up by Khan but then cleaned up for the burial), then it's too narrow for having that docking port on the outer wall. Or then it's offset to port, which actually might make some sense, since then the launch rail would easily clear the vertical warp core part. If, OTOH, there are two side-by-side bays (and Khan thrashes the port one so the burial ceremony takes place in the starboard one), then there's something funny going on since they don't [i]fit[/i] side by side, at least not very easily. As for numbering the docking ports: it sounds sensible to me to start from top and go down from there. But still, if the bridge port is #0, there are six other ports to go: two in the saucer, two in the torp assembly, two in the secondary hull. If the ones on the port side run #1, #2, #3, then logically the starboard torp bay should be #5. If they run zigzag (saucer-port #1, saucer-stbd #2, torp-port #3, torp-stbd #4, sec-hull-port #5, sec-hull-stbd #6), then torp portside hatch would in turn be incorrectly numbered. So it indeed makes very little sense. Hmm. Perhaps Scotty has had to rebuild the torp bay several times to clean up the mess left by Kirk's adventures, and we see it go from v.2 to v.4 in the movie?
