[QUOTE]Originally posted by Reverend: [QB] ...but then they'd have to drop shields to transport...ah but then they'd have to do that for docking anyway. Hmm. Ok, my argument against that one (under normal circumstances) is that if they're using hoppers in the first place it probably means the ground has transporter scramblers in operation. No beam ins, not beam outs. But yes, being primerally designed as a medium transport ship, it would have mass transport capabilities. Since it's relevant to the hopper, here's a diagram I made depicting a rough idea of how I thing the interior is laid out. [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v24/Reverend/steamrunner-scale2.jpg[/IMG] The blue outlined area is from the base of the main aft bay upwards (about 3 or 4 decks on average) while the red is the two or three decks below that, from the two smaller bays upwards. The decks between there and the ventral hull would be used for loading bays, cargo lifts, those modular weapons bays and perhaps even landing gear. It's crude, but it give you an idea as to how much cubic space there would be and how it still leaves a surprising amount of floor space for the crew areas. [/QB][/QUOTE]
