[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Mighty Monkey of Mim: [QB] IIRC, "The Omega Glory" only stated that the [i]Exeter[/i] had a complement of 4 shuttles. That doesn't mean other ships with slightly differing mission roles might not have more or less. Nor does it mean that at some point Starfleet didn't either increase or decrease the number of shuttles aboard its ships. So, while the [i]specific complement[/i] of that [i]specific vessel[/i] at that [i]specific time[/i] may have been 4 shuttles, we know it has been other numbers on other ships at other times. (TAS showed a number of shuttles of varying designs on board the [i]Enterprise[/i], and when you think about it, the fact that the [i]Galileo[/i]'s registry was NCC-1701/7 indicates that there have been [i]at least[/i] seven shuttles assigned to the ship. Franz Joseph's [i]Star Trek Blueprints[/i] also gave this as the shuttle complement of the [i]Constitution[/i] herself.) As to the complement of the refitted Connie, I have no idea why Shane Johnson thought the shuttles would be only oddly numbered, but to me the fact that there's a "Shuttle 5" indicates that there are also Shuttles 1, 2, 3, and 4. Of course, not all of those may be flight-ready and in use at once, they may be stored in auxiliary bays off the main hanger, etc., to be activated only when needed. Plus, there's also the work bees... -[b]MMoM[/b] :D [/QB][/QUOTE]
