The logistics of the Omega Docking Bay

OK, been puzzling over this one...

Trying to figure out how this docking bay works, not just recovering/launching fighters (That I can kinda figure out) but how it fits 36 fighters and one shuttle...

just doesn't seem to be room, unless it goes all the way into the rotating section of the ship.

So, discuss!

    Easy as pie. There's a Tardis docked inside. Elementary if you ask me. :D

    You are confusing log[B]istics[/B] with log[B]ic[/B], that's why you don't get it. :D

    It works by drama.

    I'd like to figure it out though, wanting to start work on a cut-away model.

    The same as an omega i would think

    they probably had varients like this one. it could carry allot more

    by cutaway I mean like this:

    THe command / living areas / green areas I can make up mostly, we know it's in the rotating section. The missile tubes / etc I can pretty much copy off of submarines. That leaves crawlways (which I can make up) wiring, etc.

    The big logistical problem I have is the fighters/docking bay in the Omega. It holds 36 fighters + one Shuttle. How's it fit?!


    I have a feeling my model won't quite be canon when I'm done. LOL
    Oh, and I'm ignoring the launching bays in the rotating section, and replacing those with escape pods. Makes sence, you can escape AWAY from the enemy :)

    [url=http://www.mongoosepublishing.com]Mongoose Publishing[/url] produced a bunch of ship plans, like [url=http://cgi.ebay.com/Babylon-5-RPG-game-Mongoose-Primus-Ship-Plans_W0QQitemZ350293133435QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item518f19087b]this[/url], I believe one of them was of an Omega.

    The nova/omega could hold 10000 ground combat troops. The scale should be able to hold 32 fighters.
