[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mark Nguyen: [QB] I think the lines dividing the parking spaces for the shuttles are just that - lines on the deck. There's no need to use up that space with walls on which you can't hang much and that make access to the back door kinda awkward. When I made that picture, I concluded that if the 15m Peregrine's wings folded up as we guess, then you can fit one Peregrine for every two shuttle parking slips; thus, you can support a full squadron of 12 fighters with tons of room left over for regular shuttles. As for the runabouts, scaled as they are it is indeed a tight fit around that central column thing... there's maybe a 2-3 meters tops to maneuver, however if you think about how tightly aircraft are handled on carrier decks, that's more than enough space! Alternatively, you can stash one or two in the open landing area where I put the 30m Peregrine and stll have lots of space for maneuvering other shuttles through. And don't forget that much of the deck is two decks tall or more - you can use antigrav to hop over some stuff if need be. It's not like the shuttles are on wheels anyway. Now, I dug up this picture to relate it back to the Akira. Does anyone want to superimpose the Akira saucer over this layout, to demonstrate the interior volume of the Akira Saucer? It's approximately the same shape, at least... Mark [/QB][/QUOTE]
