[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] I see no problem with that at all. Turbolift stops are little different from bus stops - they are not a fixed part of the "road", but simply a "signpost" planted at a suitable location next to the "road". The signpost can be moved without moving the road. There would always be a horizontal stretch of shafting at the bridge level, to provide the "waiting slot" for one lift without hindering the movement of the other. I cannot believe Probert ever intended the ship to have two vertical shafts for the bridge - but simply two outlets for a single shaft, like Shane Johnson shows. Extending or shortening the horizontal shafts would then be a simple matter. And if the extensions "don't fit under the hood", then one can simply move the bridge down half a deck (it's raised on a pedestal anyway in Probert's drawings) and not have it flush with the exterior dome. The same has to be done to the TOS bridge, too, unless one wants to say the bridge was angled off centerline. The turboshaft visible at the back of the bridge exterior cannot be the location of the lift doors on the interior. Rather, I'd take it as the vertical shaft extension that's supposed to interface with starbases and the like, while the actual "lift stop" on bridge level again is on a horizontal branch, to provide the "waiting slot" needed.
