Excellent work, Paul! You have managed to create a shuttle that recalls neither a minivan nor publuc transportation. At last! A shuttle that doesn't look like a box!

Very nice work, Cargile. I like how you used elements of the scoutship, and put your own touch on the rest. It's also interesting to see that you've already started using the monopole reactor in SMR vehicles. I'd like to see more about that, if possible.

Yes Black Knight, It was meant to be smaller, but Joe complained about having to crawl on his hands and knees to get to the cabin, so I made it a larger, more long range shuttle, with the look of a Countach.
Sorry Baloo, but the other smaller shuttles will look like Caravans.
On the monopole Warped1701, me and Baloo have not worked on it beyond my conception stage--that was posted earlier. It is based on a theortical entity.

Actually the interior needs to be redone as it is too small for Joe. Joe's butt can barely fit on the dining room chairs and his kness chaff the control station as he haunches over it. However it is perfect for Joe's little sister Beth.
Armaments? Why? It can be armed but is normally unless the shuttle is going to be used near the Bad Guys.

Well Cargile, the shuttle looks like it has teeth. I just thought that when I saw it. Having weapons on it isn't a bad idea anyway since the newer shuttles I've seen such as in Voyager and in Insurrection have some weapons.

Actually, all spacecraft should carry small phasers. It makes sense if you thinking about the possible uses on a non combat situation.
You did a terrific job, Cargile. Once again, ladies and gentlemen - this is the result of real world uses when applied to a fantasy spacecraft. Normal shuttles, and starships, look as thought they're fake, but your shuttles and fighters are similar to the real thing today.
The interior looks like the inside of a small keel boat, like it would be meant for short-to-medium passages between ships, planets, and space stations.
BTW, Joe is too tall for a 24th century man.

Its known in some circles--especially among the automotive designers--that humans are getting bigger. Two meter plus humans isn't a stretch of the imagination.

Well, humans in Star Trek seem to be the size of 20th-century actors.
