If you could own a shuttle, which one would it be?

Wow.

Spoiler: spoiler question

Is the new station Cardassian or Starfleet design? Can you give some details?

Spoiler: Typhon Pact: Raise the Dawn

As of the end of Typhon Pact: Raise the Dawn, the new Starbase Deep Space 9 is still being built, but it's an original Starfleet design. It seems influenced by the Cardassian Nor-class station designs, however, as it makes heavy use of interconnecting rings.

As for the original question...

It's not actually a shuttle, but if I were to ask for any support craft in the Starfleet, I'd ask for a Danube-class runabout. Preferably the U.S.S. Rio Grande.

FYI, spoiler for TrekLit....

Spoiler: Spoilers for Plagues Of Night/Raise The Dawn

After DS9 is destroyed and a new DS9-II is being constructed, the runabout used to bring the crew to the new station for the first is, you guessed it, the Rio Grande!!!

Wow.

Spoiler: Answer

Here's an image of the station, taken from the book's cover.

Spoiler: Thanks

Thanks guys. The cover looks fantastic, but it looks more like Admiral Ross's starbase rather than construction habitat. I supposed they could have quickly towed those pieces into position, and are building the the top from the prefabricated materials. Either way, I've been meanign to get back into Trek books, I might pick this up

^ EmperorTiberius, it's already been pointed out that the image on the cover of that book is not what it looks like:

Spoiler: novel

That image is not the real new DS9, just the construction habitat for the workers who will build it.

Bad Robot's Kelvin and Enterprise non warp and warp capable shuttles.

TMP's Surak and V's shuttles.

I still can't believe that anyone is going for something other than a runabout.

the swoopy, sexy probert designed shuttle from the enterprise d definitely.

well i wouldn't intend spending that much time in it. just a classy way to warp somewhere nearby. like a car. do you poo in your car?

Why not? Get a runabout, and you can use it for all the same things as your little shuttle, and you can also spend a week on Mars if you so desire.

Besides, why wouldn't you want to spend your time in something that has a replicator and the sum total of human knowledge. And hey, chick magnet too.

I'm still sticking with the Argo. Basically a runabout with a garage. Do you suppose that a Romulan Scorpion would fit in the garage?

Just when I think I know a lot about Star Trek, you guys prove me wrong. Hehe. I'd say, Delta Flyer. Seems comfy, pretty. Bathrooms and sleep possibilities is what I need.

I could do without the "retro" design Tom Paris added though, with all the buttons..

Not the Type 9 sweat box: "They used to shoehorn half a dozen cadets into one of these things for weeks at a time. You did not want to be around when they opened up that airlock." Though Janeway's Endgame one was a pimp-my-shuttle.

I'd vote for Alice.

Runabout's are just flying RV's effectively.

This variant of the Type-7 Shuttle is very nice.

I just wish the door / loading ramp was on the back and extend the cockpit further. Otherwise it's a very nice variant of the classic Type-7 Shuttle
