The grid thing? I think it's the holodeck.

The Aeroshuttle is basically a runabout, which is more a starship in its own right than a shuttle is. Runabouts are big.
Wrong! Voyager lands on a planet at least twice, but the aeroshuttle is never mentioned. XD
Holodecks are surprisingly tall, even on TNG.

Gotcha, so those weren't runabouts in the shuttlebay, next to the... type-6 shuttles?

This would be my choice. Can't believe I missed the other vote! Sheesh, there was only a three hour window between the end of the moratorium and the vote being closed.

I'd really like the shuttle because it gives this ship something others don't have. Most federation ships can fill in for science ships in a pinch, but this will be the one you call if you have to insert a larger science team on planet.
That chosen, we still need labs. And range is probably right for the last option, because it's part of our specifications.
Something like this.

I honestly think the aeroshuttle only exists as the extra leaflet stuff they added to the video packaging, and was never actually considered by the writers.

Those should be the Type 6 shuttle iirc? It's why they made the Delta Flyer (aside from Tom wanting to be Flash Gordon).
Not even sure Voyager could carry four Runabouts those were pretty big.

Also consider this: with the industrial replicator they could break down and replace their entire shuttle fleet with more refined delta fliers if need be.

Edit:
it's got runabouts and t 6s from what the image shows.

Short and stubby are the type-6, long and sleek are class-2. Both still shuttles.
If we roll well the intrepid might end up being a good basis for a prototype escort carrier during the Dominion war.

Those are way too small to be Runabo--

Almost a non-question; we've been aiming for the gelpacks this entire time.
Aeroshuttle could be cool, but looking at the layout and from my reading, this and vote #2 would basically be our primary chances for true, dedicated science laboratories? I don't want to pass up that opportunity on our very first Science Ship project.
Looks like we've already got a pretty decent-sized cargo bay, but that replicator... that's a big shiny. Extra cargo would also help our operational range.
This is the really tough choice for me. It looks like we've got five antimatter pods already installed, from the usual four in our previous designs. Combined with our prototype deflectors and nacelles, we might shoot past the ever-quotable "5-year mission" by a decent margin, but who knows when it comes to Yoyodyne...
Additional computer core also sounds good, but maybe that would be better if we go for the isolinear chips? Unsure.
I think that's the reaction most everyone has to learning about Voyager's Aeroshuttle.

It's so useful that Paris invented his own much smaller one and the installed one was never used.
Packs are an auto take as is Lab in slot 1
which means either a second lab and AM
Or a Cargo space and secondary cpu core for me.

To be fair, the aeroshuttle seems to be a more of a warp capable escape pod than something actually meant to be used regularly.It's so useful that Paris invented his own much smaller one and the installed one was never used.

FOR SCIENCE! You said no to MOAR DAKKA with the explanation its a SCIENCE ship! So by that logic lets get all the SCIENCE as clearly it has not enough SCIENCE if we can still take more of it!

i remember the aeroshuttle..
it was a very poor design that i see as just a waste of space if it was not used
