Also I've heard the shoe-horn referred to as the "linear accelerator", as to what function that would serve on a starship, your guess is as good as mine.
You know I really shouldn't have read Jason's post about his disease after dinner, and maybe it also wasn't a good idea to look at some pictures of it on Google.
Never a good idea, no.
I was wondering if "Shin Meat" was a gag. Pretty funny actually....I can say "so that's where it went!
Mabye it'll get refit and still be in service during the Dominion War- then it'll be Dead Meat (like the poor Majestic).

Uh, yes it does. A TOS-style shuttlebay at the end of the upper pod. Of course, now you have the whole "how do they get from the shuttlebay to the main hull without going through those flimsy pylons" issue that the Oberth has. (Although the pylons look significantly thicker on the Copernicus; I'm guessing they have room for escalators)
