[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] Back in the day, I thought the lower pod was a nacelle....and it probably serves as the flush vents for the nacelles (that dark grey ventlike area at the pod's ventral aft could easily serve that purpose). Now I think of it as a sensor only kind of thing: it might also house heavy equipment to be beamed down to a planet and then back up into storage (all done remotely from the primary hull). That odd "tunnel" at the aft is visible in STIII and TNG, so it's probably a sensor (though a much-needed aft-facing probe launcher would work better). I'd have to give the ship a shuttlebay: for the reasons Tim pointed out- sooo many planets have atmospheres that prohibit transporter use, and transporters are ofter dangerous to seriously injured crew and delicate specimans.
