[QUOTE]Originally posted by ChristopherT: [QB] Well, if it helps, this is what I came up with. I assigned the three areas on the primary hull as shuttlebays. The forward one is twenty meters deep to accept 1 or 2 Standard Shuttles at 18.5 meters each.(Surak style, TMP Era.) The port and starboard bays are 10 meters deep to accept a few workbees each. The reason I have embarked craft on a two-hundred meter ships is for all the times when all the power is down, the tranporters are out, or Spock's other brother comes to dinner! Early Starfleet vessels are fairly tough, tougher than their TNG successors. But to do repairs you are either going to make it back to a spacedock or fix the ship on site. If you are going to fix the ship onsite, your EVA options are small craft or spacesuits. I did notice the spaces on the back of the primary hull, but those looked tight for even a 2.7 meter workbee! I figured them for cargo areas. I'm looking at even a 200 meter Orberth as being a real PITA for getting through the pylons into the lower hull. A dedicated single-pad tranporter would probably work better and be more energy efficient. If I can post an image here, I'll try to get a shot of the Workbee up against the pylon to see if a turbolift shaft could fit a 200 meter Oberth. Christopher [/QB][/QUOTE]
