[QUOTE]Originally posted by Griffworks: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Treknophyle: [qb] It's entirely possible - and plausible. As Larry Niven pointed out, depending on a force-field to keep the air in is rather chancy - especially for a warship. In the case of a power-out - you're in the soup. My interpretation is that there was a roll-up door for the 'first-flight' refit ships. Later, practicality showed it a better idea to enclose the shuttle elevators with bulkheads and doors fore and aft. Redundancy - the first rule in good combat design. [/qb][/QUOTE]I seem to recall from reading the novelization for ST:TMP, or perhaps "Mr. Scott's Guide", that there is a forcefield just inside the hanger bay doors which allows the hanger doors to be opened w/o the need to evacuate the shuttlebay for pressurization purposes. I want to say that for at least ST:TMP purposes, this was a one-way forcefield, which possibly later led to the structural integrity fields - ENT not withstanding. Anyhow, to my thinking there are the shuttlebay doors, forcefield and then interior doors at the end of the shuttlebay leading into the cargo bay area. Normally, these doors would all be closed and the force field activated, especially during combat operations. [/QB][/QUOTE]
