Generally, auxiliary craft are kept in shuttlebays, large, open areas equipped for launching, repairing, and storing small ships. Ships access shuttlebays through enormous doors (exterior made of triple-layered duranium, interior of lightweight neofoam sheeting in an expanded tritanium framework). In the [[24th century]], when the doors are open, atmospheric integrity is maintained with an annular force field. Small, short-range tractor beams assist with ship landings. A Flight Deck Officer operates a shuttlebay from its control booth.

A shuttlebay occupies a lot of space. To buy one, decide how many ships you wish to store in it, then add up all those ships’ Sizes. Multiply the total by 2 to determine how many SUs the shuttlebay occupies. A starship may only keep ships of Sizes 1-2 (and, rarely, Size 3) in a shuttlebay.

Players and Narrators should use common sense when creating shuttlebays. Size 3 ships should not carry other Size 3 ships in their shuttlebays; that simply doesn’t make sense. Most scouts should not carry a large complement of shuttles. The accompanying tables provides some guidelines for shuttle complements for various types of ships.

10.1 Shuttlebays

Cost: 2 x total Size of all stored ships
Power Requirement: None

Generally, auxiliary craft are kept in shuttlebays, large, open areas equipped for launching, repairing, and storing small ships. Ships access shuttlebays through enormous doors (exterior made of triple-layered duranium, interior of lightweight neofoam sheeting in an expanded tritanium framework). In the 24th century, when the doors are open, atmospheric integrity is maintained with an annular force field. Small, short-range tractor beams assist with ship landings. A Flight Deck Officer operates a shuttlebay from its control booth.

A shuttlebay costs no Power, but occupies a lot of space. To buy one, decide how many ships you wish to store in it, then add up all those ships’ Sizes. Multiply the total by 2 to determine how many SUs the shuttlebay occupies. A starship may only keep ships of Sizes 1-2 (and, rarely, Size 3) in a shuttlebay.

Players and Narrators should use common sense when creating shuttlebays. Size 3 ships should not carry other Size 3 ships in their shuttlebays; that simply doesn’t make sense. Most scouts should not carry a large complement of shuttles. The accompanying tables provides some guidelines for shuttle complements for various types of ships.
