[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Mighty Monkey of Mim: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Shik: [qb] Maybe some shuttles are like the old collapsible lifeboats used on ocean liners in the days before & up to [i]Titanic[/i]: many of the shuttles are broken down into easily stored elements & only 2 or 4 are kept on standby readiness alert.[/qb][/QUOTE]That's how Doug Drexler envisions the NX-01 to operate, with two pods on active duty ("hot standby") and two kept in non-operational reserve ("mothballs") that may be activated and prepped for flight within a day or two if necessary. -[b]MMoM[/b] :D P.S. Incidentally, I just noticed that the [i]Starship Spotter[/i] gives the TOS Connie's shuttle complement as "5-7 of various classes" and the TMP Connie's as including "8 Work Bee General Utility Craft" and "4 shuttlecraft of various classes." I tend to think of that book as non-canon, though, but I dunno about the rest of you. -[b]MM[/b] [/QB][/QUOTE]
