You know, I just had a really wild idea to add to the technology and wonder that is the Enterprise G:
How about a vessel, fully independent (warp capable, etc.) that fits in into the space in the primary hull. It would be somewhat horseshoe shaped (in order to "snap" into Enterprise), and serve as a support vessel for specialized missions, sort of like a flying mission module, ala the Nebula and Miranda Classes. It would have several variants, like a hospital type for disaster assistance, science labs for an extended expedition, military equipment with extra torpedos, phaser strips for border conflicts, etc.
Whatcha think?
Just thought of yet another potential use: What about a mini deployable starbase? Scenario: The Enterprise G is sent to an uncharted but scientifically interesting planet. A sudden emergency requires this Venture Class Starship to immediately deploy to the Romulan Neutral Zone. Instead of taking the whole ship, she leaves her "orbital starbase" module behind to continue studying the planet while her mothership helps quell a Romulan incursion.

It could literally be reconfigured to almost any situation....
Maybe even a multifunction module
OK so here's the list od ships modules
1. Tactical support ship
2. Scout
3. orbital base
4. hospital ship
5. search and rescue
6. diplomatic ship
7. Fighter bay ship
8. colonial transport
9. planetary assault...Marines
what else?

Bulk transport
Large Zoological Specimen (LZS) carrier
Stealth Atmospheric Observer
Surface Semipermanent Complex
More uses anyone?

That's something like what I had in mind. However, to fit "snugly" into Enterprise G's saucer section, it would have to be soemwhat restricted in it's actual shape.
yeah i know. like i said it was supposed to be the start of the top of a sucer i was doing and i hit some button and it twisted it up like that

I will not design one...case closed
I love the concept
but its not up to me
Wallace did the textures...so I have no say in the designing aspect of that
but if you guys want is sooo much build/design one
you have the ship...so do what you need to
