Thoughts on article name
With TNS we have several distinct articles concering the flight pod as whole, the launch tubes, the landing bay and the hangar deck. This isn't so clear here. It mentions two launch bays on board and starboard. That would refer to the flight pod though. But then it goes into some detail about the launch tubes themselves.
Since there probably isn't as much information in TOS as in TNS about this, maybe the article could be named "flight pod (TOS)" and then subdivided into sections about the landing bays and launch tubes. Or maybe just a note that it's synonymous with "flight pod"? (which I assume it is) --Serenity 05:55, 2 January 2007 (CST)
- It's not really the same as the flight pod, but is a major component of the flight pod. The TOS flight pods still have the landing area (landing bay?) in the rear where Vipers and shuttles land (and where the hostage crisis in "Baltar's Escape" takes place). The only area that the TOS seems to lack is the hangar deck. --Steelviper 09:31, 2 January 2007 (CST)
- I just thought that it might be more consistent to have roughly the same article name where possible. Maybe I'm not the only one who is a bit confused as to what "launch bay" actually refers to. Seems like a term for the area compromising the launch tubes, but it's not very clear --Serenity 09:52, 2 January 2007 (CST)
- It's an area that leads into the launch tubes, but it's the open area where you can walk around a bit (or get chased and shot at). I'll try to get a screencap up tomorrow that might clear it up a bit. It's closest equivalent is probably a hangar deck. --Steelviper 10:15, 2 January 2007 (CST)
- Ah, now I get it :)
