Again, the entire ring doesn’t spin, just the outer hull layer.Must be the ultimate ride for everyone in the outer disc when it jumps.

Guys...my god. The rings do not rotate, only the thin upper layer of hull does. It's suuuper obvious because the windows stay still. Everyone inside is perfectly fine because the actual deck structure remains still while the "skin" slides on top. I don't know if you're just joking but I feel I need to make this clear because somehow some people still don't get this.The inner ring rotates too.
That’s what I was saying lolGuys...my god. The rings do not rotate, only the thin upper layer of hull does.
I never noticed that before you pointed it out to me.The inner ring rotates too.
It’s just the outer hull layer rotating, not the entire section.
I was joking. Lighten up.Again, the entire ring doesn’t spin, just the outer hull layer.
Huh, thanks for that. Makes sense--would have seemed like a huge oversight otherwise! I appreciate your analysis.Those triangular slot windows are crew quarters. There are 8 of those cut-out wedges around the inner saucer, with two quarters per cut out (each room taking up half the width of the cutout) . But one of them contains the mess hall which spans the full width of the cutout. As you can see, in some cases the corridor that extends beyond the quarters (seemingly into space) would have to lead into a phaser control room. In other cases where there is no phaser, it would likely lead into a room with a sloped wall against the hull.

I never noticed that as well.Has anybody else noticed that the upper and lower parts spin in Opposite Directions?
The Top spins Clockwise and the Bottom spins Counter-clockwise.
Didn't know that either till I just went looking at Yt vids.

I didn't know it, either. I thought the entire outer ring spun.I never noticed that before you pointed it out to me.
There's Three separate rings and the innermost and outermost hull layers both spin.
Well I be danged.

Hm might be an error, when the discovery jumps away from Corvan 2 the bottom spins the same direction as the top.Has anybody else noticed that the upper and lower parts spin in Opposite Directions?
The Top Outer layer spins Clockwise and the Bottom outer layer spins Counter-clockwise.
And the Inner layers both spin opposite to that.
Didn't know that either till I just went looking at Yt vids.

Watch the very last part of this video, you can see both the top and bottom of the Outer Primary hull in a single shot.I just rewatched S2E2.
The direction of the saucer changes during the jump, going into the jump it spins one way, and leaving the jump it reverses.
This lines up with the observation I made above. So no the bottom of the saucer isn’t running counter to the top.
This show isn’t very consistentWatch the very last part of this video, you can see both the top and bottom of the Outer Primary hull in a single shot.
They are spinning in opposite directions.
(Top = Clockwise ... Bottom = Counterclockwise & the Inner hull is the complete opposite)
