PIC Season 3 USS Titan (SPOILERS)

[Jack Kessler]

Maybe this has already been discussed and if so can someone point me to the correct thread?

Watched the Season 3 opened to Picard last night and I have some mixed feelings about the new Titan but my first question is simple. Where are shuttle bays 1 and 2? In the S3E1 when Picard and Riker take the shuttle from the Titan one of the bridge crew indicates that there is an unscheduled departure from "Shuttlebay 3" and we see the shuttle departing the aft tail end of the ship. Looking at the screen capture of the Titan from Paramount I do not see how or where the other two shuttle bays could be located on a ship that is only listed as 560 meters long. Unless they are those small little sections right next to the main impulse drives? Any thoughts or ideas?

Could be near the impulse engines. Could also be the lighted squares on the bottom of the saucer as seen here:

Hummm, I totally missed those. Nice catch.

@Jack Kessler Little update on this from the guys at TrekYards. They spoke with the designers, as they know most of them personally, and the script was finalized before the design. The design actually only has the one visible shuttlebay. The designer just said something along the lines of "maybe there's three bays (decks) behind the one door."

Very interesting. Thank you for the update. I appreciate it very much.
