I have created this schematic of the Raven (and others) and I wanted everyone to nitpick it. I want to know anything that you see wrong with it.
And also, I heard some where that the Raven's class is the Erewhon. Is that just speculation, or is it something that Okuda, Sternbach, etc. said.

The SS Santa Maria from (I think) DS9's "Paradise" was Erewhon class. Probably just somebody decided to call the Raven that, too. Either that, or someone got confused.

The situation with the Erewhon class is interesting because Jim Martin drew the entire ship in a design sketch ("The Making of DS9"), while only a portion of the ship was actually built as a set. We've never seen the full-size ship onscreen, though, and only know that it's about 4x the size of a runabout.
Speaking of unknown ships, does the Encyclopedia say anything about a U.S.S. Liberator, NCC-67016? The Type-7 shuttle that crashed on Armus' planet in "Skin of Evil" comes from that ship, at least according to the miniature seen in "The Art of Star Trek".

I'm fairly certain the shuttle in "Skin of Evil" was one of the E-D's, wasn't it?
*wonders how many people think Frank's sig is a joke* He really did say that, y'know...

Looks consistent. The Raven seemed very "narrow" to me, this is why the main hull is only a bit wider than it is tall. BTW, after watching "The Raven" once again, I am quite sure that the whole design already existed at that time. Not only the hull shape, but also the nacelle (can be seen "bent" backward beside the wreckage) looks like the final version.

Either that, or they went back and looked at "The Raven" to make sure the design would match what they had already shown. That would be totally out of character for them, but it's possible...

Returning to that "Liberator"/shuttle off-topic for a while (I'm not sure if it warrants an entire thread):
The Liberator shuttle model seems to be the only proof so far that the Type 7 shuttle had a side cargo door. Did any of the canonically seen ones even hint at its existence? Did we ever see ANY doors on the design, for that matter? I'm not sure that the aft depression (mounting the IMPULSE NOZZLE, of all things!) counts...

Timo: You are authorized to open a new thread for it. Anyway, I remember the Type 7 shuttle has an aft hatch, depicted in the Fact Files, but it seemed pretty small. I believe there are side doors as well, but I have no canonical evidence. I wonder if the interior is designed to allow a side door (no consoles or such in the way). Maybe there is only a door on the right side. http://www.uni-siegen.de/~ihe/bs/startrek/worldtour/shuttle7.jpg
