[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] I'm still not convinced that every starship needs a shuttle. Or even a workbee. What sort of a component would the ship have that would be too large for a spacesuited person or group of persons to handle, yet not too large to be taken to some sort of a workshop inside the ship, repaired, and taken out again? There's no real point to carrying a big "forklift" or "crane" that can move entire warp coils if you don't have a trunk where you'd keep a spare warp coil. The weird "tunnel" at the stern of the ventral pod is somewhat exaggerated in that artwork. It's the mounting point for the motion control rod, and I'm not convinced it is even there in those shots where the rod is not used... DVD 'caps of the introductory shot in ST3 should show it best.
