Nova Class Shuttle Bays
On the Nova Class MSD, there are two shuttle bays (this is confirmed on the Nova Class page). The stern-most bay (left hand side on the MSD) opens with large doors at the stern of the ship (similar to the Constitution Class, but not spherical). How does the second bay open? If it is through the main doors at the stern, then shouldn't it just be listed as having one shuttle bay?

Thanks! --James emds 21:38, January 4, 2012 (UTC)77.99.92.46 21:37, January 4, 2012 (UTC)


 * I've fixed the Nova-class page, since this is a cutaway representation and shouldn't be treated as a fully detailed map. That said, there is a difference between the "shuttlebay" and a "shuttle bay", which is a bay where shuttles are stored, like Hangar 2 on the Enterprise-D. - 08:18, January 5, 2012 (UTC)


 * Oh, ok, thanks! So is the shuttlebay (one word) used for active shuttles, whereas a shuttle bay (two words) is for storage of shuttles? And I guess then that the second (inner) bay on the MSD could just be for storage, with an interconnecting door or something? --James emds 19:41, January 5, 2012 (UTC)


 * In fact, I have answered my own question! [This]http://community.webshots.com/photo/fullsize/2665489560101669106SFCiNt schematic shows the secondary shuttlebay doors, with [this one]http://entertainment.webshots.com/photo/2005494620101669106MGDFVq showing the main doors. Thanks for your help though! --James emds 20:31, January 5, 2012 (UTC)
