[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] I guess it works this way, yeah. ...Although it looks like the ship would fall on her ass, with the legs placed that way, bow ballast or no bow ballast. And the very small ground clearance looks awkward on a ship of this size. The original Sternbach sketch gives a more plausible relative clearance, especially if we assume there is some stroke to those landing legs and they are pulled in all the way after landing. I guess this is the thing that bothers me the most about the design. How long and broad can one make the ship while still retaining the logic of a one-deck structure? The smaller the ship, the more sense the single deck makes. And we do know the [i]Santa Maria[/i] was only about four times as large as the runabout, by O'Brien's words. It could be length, as shown, but it would be more plausible if O'Brien was speaking about volume. Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
