[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] ...And as stated before, I'd rather that the vertical intermix shaft ("impulse shaft" here) ran farther back than Probert intended, perhaps a bit aft of what in this picture is the forward bulkhead of the cargo hold. This wouldn't violate anything on screen, since a) we didn't see the front end of the TMP cargo hold b) we did see the "oops" corridor" that could be easily explained by this move c) the length of the main engineering deck and the horizontal shaft there was forced-perspective anyway, and doesn't have to be as long as shown here d) we never saw the upper end of the vertical shaft, either, so it could very well either terminate in a big deuterium tank after one or two decks, or go up to the saucer in a staircase manner, or even follow the trailing edge of the connecting fin. Such a placement would also nicely put the lower part of the vertical shaft above the big rectangles at the bottom of the hull, near the ventral phasers. Warp core and AM bottle downwards ejection in classic TNG manner! The shaft would then go through the middle of the arboretum, but there's nothing to prevent this. The E-A could and should have an identical arrangement - there, too, a corridor leading forward of the vertical core is implied, due to the shape of the TNG engineering set (even if we didn't see the entire set in ST6). The TOS arrangement could again be similar. The more room we can arrange in front of main engineering, the better, since the deflector machinery is bound to be rather voluminous (consider the deep "grooves" in the TOS ship, between the concentric cylinders that formed the bow of the secondary hull). And the shuttlebay and cargo hold arrangements in all three incarnations could be more or less identical, give or take a bulkhead or a turboshaft. Those areas could be treated as forced-perspective mattes/sets/models on all ships, so the exact dimensions wouldn't matter much. Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
