[QUOTE]Originally posted by thelastguardian: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Griffworks: [qb] I got no problems with it. Makes sense to me for those "holes" to be for umbilical connections, as well as the to "rectangular doors" to lead to maintenance/cargo areas. I'm still sort of torn about the "life boat" hatches, tho. I didn't get to that part of the movie this evening, but I seem to recall that we see the "room" where Kirk, Ilia, Decker, Spock and McCoy go up to the upper hull of Enterprise in ST:TMP. There's nothing there which would indicate that it's a "way-point" for life boats to go thru before ejection. Of course, there's also nothing to say that there are only a few of those "docking" hatches like they use in ST:TMP and that the rest are indeed for life boats. I sort of envision an area where four - or maybe more - life boats line up in a sort of "plus sign" and then are moved into the "hatch area" before being ejected from the ship. Does that make sense? [/qb][/QUOTE]That's really the only way it could work. If the majority of square hatches on the upper surface of the primary hull are indeed lifeboat hatches (and that makes good sense), the boats themselves would have to be stacked or arranged in rows in order for the crew to abandon ship in rapid fashion. It's interesting that there are no secondary hull lifeboat hatch markings at all, despite the fact that we know there are lifeboats there. Shane [/QB][/QUOTE]
