Do you all prefer me updating this thread with the Daedalus or the Endeavour?
My Pre TOS ship Deckplans

- Start date
Daedalus should be completed, then the other.
Beginnings Deck E and Deck F. Getting Main Sick Bay to something I like has been tedious.

It's an odd shaped room to begin with! You've fitted it in well though. The final Sickbay complex is quite large though - would some sort of emergency exit be a good idea?Beginnings Deck E and Deck F. Getting Main Sick Bay to something I like has been tedious.

Yeah Im still working on the general area, probably have a secondary exit through the medical lab area.
My latest update.
The problem that I have is the total lack of real self rescue capabilities of life boats since the TNG Technical Manual.
A life boat, has to be able to travel to the nearest star system, while keeping the survivers in suspended animation. Just look at the TNG episode 'The Battle ', the Stargazer survivors used warp capable shuttles to get back.
Granted that the Daedalus is is pre 2200 A. D., but it was over a century of development. Which means that the designers had to have a pretty good idea of exactly what was required for survival.
Now as to your update.
more, More, MORE!!!

I TOTALLY agree with you on this, I am planning on having a large compliment of shuttles but they wont be warp capable. Its just a problem that early era trek cannot really give us a nice answer on. Small ships with warp capability just isnt feasible. I just pretend the escape pods have extra strong communications and a rescue ship/ships pick up the escape pods.
Some time ago on this forum, a person came up, with Icarus class starship. A ball and a secondary hull directly connected into the ball. But someone also designed, in essence a modified shuttlepod, with warp nacelles.
My feeling is that this would make a nice tow platform for a string of escape pods.
Further note, I realized a couple of years ago that a small warp drive was practical, in terms of antimatter use. So I figured that warp shuttles would be 'common '.
Referring to the Type VII Shuttlecraft, warp factor 1.75 is ridiculous - there is a way around this, however.
Let's say that ninety percent of the time a Shuttlecraft doesn't exceed warp factor .25. Why? Not needed to. But of the remaining ten percent? Yes. But high warp? Less than one percent.
Why? Compare the assigned mass of a Type VII at 3.96 metric tons to a Galaxy's 4.96 million metric tons..
The Type VII is going to require, more than a million times less than a Galaxy will.
So warp shuttlepod's real problem is life support. Which is easily handled by suspended animation.
