[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] The windows would probably indicate an Ambassador-sized vessel if taken seriously. Contrary to many later ships, the Excelsiors don't have a deflector grid pattern that corresponds to the internal deck structure - yet the windows on the Centaur are arranged according to the grid pattern, suggesting seven decks above the saucer rim and below the bridge. That means the bridge dome itself is about seven decks high! I'd rather go with the 200m size range. That "shuttlebay" need not be a size-defining feature, since (as the good bird Peregrinus suggested ages ago, on page 16) it could be a navigational deflector array and thus wouldn't have to be scaled to allow even the tiniest shuttlepod to pass through. Those 175m Curry and Raging Queen interpretations are interesting, too (although the bridges would be quite small then). Anybody think that these would make good cargo pod tugs - not with the "secondary hull" replaced by a pod, but with the FJ-style pod carried flush against the undercut of the secondary hull?
