Anyway, to the Shuttlebay. It's the same CGI set we first saw in "Counterpoint" (which is silly, since I don't think you could fit the Delta Flyer in there - where is it in the picture, anyway?). So what, the Voyager shuttlebay is one big Changeling? THe last time we saw it in "Drive", it was friggin' HUGE. Now it's back to "normal"? Normal being the third different time we saw it? :P

Could it be another oversight on the set designers' part, or perhaps storyline related? Who knows, I think we read way too much into small faults like that. Personally I think I'm going to be happy with the episode in general. It is on in one hour here and I'm eager to see it.

I just saw the episode...and that's a pretty big shuttlebay. There was a Type-9 near the back, and then the Delta Flyer was sticking out the side!!!!

Is it my imagination or did the shuttle bay just DOUBLED in size or what?
Overall, OK episode. I was amused.

So TPTB are trying to wiggle out of the "too small a bay" problem by making the bay L-shaped instead of I-shaped, with the parking pocket for the DF in the new branch?
This won't solve the main door size problem, but at least we don't have to pretend the DF could squeeze through that internal door seen behind that type-9 any more. We can assume it's parked in that pocket all the time, and the camera angles in the previous episodes just failed to show this part of the bay.

Oh, you just don't get it, do you? The DF has been outfitted with the very latest technological breakthroughs the Delta Quadrant has to offer. Including the so-called "zip-cloak" which reduces the size of the craft by around 50 percent without any changes in the external appearance!!!
(Or did I spend too much time last night installing the latest version of Winzip and reading about Harry Potter and the flying car that was huge on the inside but normal size on the outside?) ;-))

I thought everyone knew that the Intrepid-class shuttelbays were designed by a combined team from Jurai & Gallifrey under direction of Washu using only the very best in transdimensional spatial technology.

See my reply in the other thread about the K'tinga.
Also, it had the impulse engines on the rear of the wing p/s, so it's a K'tinga. The only thing I can think of, is that somewhere along the 100-yr journey they did a fraction of the time-traveling or space-hopping that Starfleet crews seem to do, and they got a refit to have torpedoes in the deflector, extra hull plating, and the p/s impulse engines.

It was a special mission ship, I'd imagine that it was outfitted quite nicely before being sent on a mission that my never end. Any idea that the outfitters felt was going to be needed, on or off drawing boards at the time they were working on getting it ready. How many new ideas did the outfitters of this mission come up with that were later incorporated in to new designs?
