[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] I don't really think the internal differences between E-nil-refit and E-A are that major. The bridge is re-carpeted and re-consoled and the turbolift end stations moved one notch - but the bridge was probably built for that kind of redecorating to begin with. Either through simple replumbing of the innards (which is easy since the bridge comes in modular wedges, some of which are seen hanging slightly loose in TOS!), or through changing the module (a nifty if noncanon concept). The shuttlebay in turn need not be radically altered. All we need is a physical bulkhead to separate the landing bay from the cargo bay and hangar area, instead of a forcefield. This need not affect the functionality of the interiors a bit, because the new bulkhead has shuttle-sized doors to it, too. The big cargo hold and the hangars could still exist beyond those doors. And could have been there even in the TOS ship, for all we know. (Alas, there were no shuttle-sized doors there back then...) Yes, a turboshaft has to be re-inserted between these doors, but that won't be a major change given how malleable turboshafts are anyway. In fact, I'd think the E-A simply got less of a refit in this area than the E-nil, and retained more of the TOS structures, including that central turbo. (Yes, I assume the E-A was a TOS Constitution in a previous life.) As for the bunking issue, we never saw how enlisted people bunked in TOS or the earlier movies. The lowest-ranking person whose cabin we visited was Lt. Ilia. Or Lt. Uhura in TOS. For all we know, people from Ensign down were kept in chains in the bilge tank. Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
