   Hi,

   Sorry, need to clarify the diagram:

...so that the fighter bays would have to be mounted ventrally and in series,
with the doors facing fore and aft.  I might include a hatch on top as well, but
that would necessitate an open space on the mothercraft, something I'm just not
very keen on.

The "doors" are for crew; "F" indicates the position where fighters are mounted
vertically.  There is no need for any fighter bay door for the ships themselves, as
they are held flush to the hull.

(...) I was actually kicking this around earlier today, as I sorted five copies of 7161 Gungan Sub. My new starship will probably carry only four, but they'll be on a "rack" and the pilots will clamber in from the bottom, which faces into the ship. (...) (25 years ago, 5-Apr-00, to lugnet.space)
