[QUOTE]Originally posted by SoundEffect: [QB] If anyone's interested, I did a minor analysis of the Centaur scaling issue when I built my model. [URL=http://members.fortunecity.com/msfm/stephen_l/usscentaur.htm]USS Centaur[/URL] I contend that the saucer and thus the ship uses Excelsior based components, not Miranda-scaled components. I have a deck analysis on the above page that depicts how the decks would be arranged if scaled each way. If it's scaled to Miranda, there are two immediate problems: The shuttlebay door would only allow a person to exit without bumping their head...a shuttle wouldn't get through. The other is that the couple of rows of windows on the saucer bottom (clearly seen during the episode) would represent one deck, AND those walking on that deck would be walking ON the windows as they would comprise the floor. The majority of the Miranda bridge module is obscured by the shutlebay. The 'sensor dome' perfectly clears the shuttlebay and using the Excelsior-scaled ship, the dome is large enough and high enough to be one deck thick, and therefore the Centaur's bridge. Those are the main points in favor of an Excelsior-scaled USS Centaur. [/QB][/QUOTE]
