[QUOTE]Originally posted by Griffworks: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by thelastguardian: [qb] One other thing -- I believe the intent of the filmmakers was that the entire primary hull was to serve as a lifeboat, in case of emergency. Hull separation was designed into the TMP Enterprise, almost from the word 'go.' Plan A was to evacuate the secondary hull for the primary. Those few who could not make it in time would go to Plan B, use the individual lifeboats, then would be brought aboard (or beamed aboard) the primary hull. That appears to have been the thinking, resulting in the dearth of lifeboat hatches aboard ship. Good thing there are no icebergs out there... ;) Shane [/qb][/QUOTE]I'm not sure if Matt Jeffries had postulated it waaaaay back in TOS days, but the "Franz Joseph Designs" TOS Blueprint set gives us info about the primary hull being separable from the secondary hull at the connecting dorsal. I believe some sort of fan-produced material also "speculates" that the "triangles" we see on the underside of the primary hull are meant to be "landing legs" in the event of a "soft landing" on a planetary body, but you never know, since it's conjectural, at best.
