[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] Looking at the Ravinok again, I don't think any Danube set parts were really used in making the partial exterior. Sure, there's that ribbed vertical "belt" and the kinked wall section, but those are out of scale with anything Danube-related. I guess it's just another example of Cardies imitating Federation design solutions, like the Hideki bow section vs. Defiant bow section... In any case, the Ravinok looks "aerodynamic" somehow, and would have to be, since the prisoners survived the crash. It's a rather small design in any case, and appears only one deck high at the breached section where Kira enters. No, I don't think it's the same as those "Tears" craft. Further negativity: on Terok Nor, I doubt there would have been a need for prisoner transports, since the station was within transporter range of the surface of Bajor originally. Since we saw Bajoran workers on the Promenade, which is rather far away from docking interfaces and such, it makes sense to assume they came and went using the Promenade transporter. Less trusted workers could have had transporter pads on the outer areas of the station. The runabout pads could have been for defense craft or service and repair pods. More probably, since they were located in the supposed habitat section of the station, they would have been reserved for the errands of the station's Cardassian masters and permanent residents - much as they were later used by the Feds. The DS9 TM doesn't really suggest the Danubes were built for Terok Nor, IIRC. Instead, it claims Terok Nor was modified to accept the Danubes - that is, Starfleet built the runabout pads. Which makes no sense, since those pads were there in all the alt-universe and flashback versions of the station, as well as on Empok Nor. Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
