How many shuttles do they carry?
How many different types?
How many shuttle bays

SFB would be a good game to reference this information from. I am not sure if they have stats on the latest and greatest (I stopped playing a few years ago) but they give good info. Some online SSD's (schematics of ships) are:

The number of shuttles vary with the size of the ship and the duty of them. In SFB, there are 4 types of shuttles: Admin (carrying people), Attack (carrying low grade ship weapons) Wild Weasels (ECM unit) and a scatter pack (multiple missiles).
There was usually only one shuttle bay, since it was easier to keep all the 'vehicles in one hanger'. For safety reasons, only one shuttle could launch and/or land at a time although the gates looked like two could fit through IF the pilots were EXTREMELY careful.

According to the Spacedock netbook for LUG's version of the Trek RPG (written by our very own Steve Long), the Galaxy-class ships like the Enterprise D have a standard complement of 25 shuttles, 12 shuttlepads, 3 shuttle bays (the main shuttlebay in the saucer section, and two smaller bays in the engineering section), plus a "Captain's Yacht."

I was actually working on a conversion system for Icon System to HERO System a while back. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get a response from anyone at Wizards Of The Coast (who now presumably own the rights to the system) regarding publishing such a conversion system anywhere.Originally posted by tiger

However, I do have permission from Decipher for a Coda System to HERO System conversion. Now I just need to find time to write it.
Maybe I need to post less around here...

No, the D had a Captain's Yacht as well, mounted in the same location as it was on the E. We just never got to see it on screen.Originally posted by JmOz

I see you.

Actually, one episode had scenes that took place on the yacht, but it was never disconnected from the ship. Why bother?Originally posted by Hunter

i thought the general consensus of the boards was that we just considered ST ships plot devices?
or is that the hive mind speaking again?
