Looking sweet! Lots of planning went into that, I see.

Thanks, a lot of planning and some frustrating revisions when I forgot it has to fit the 2 alcoves in the main hanger. so it was tweak and retweak. some on FB have commented at the range and speed,
Max. Range: 5 Parsecs (16.30782 lightyears)
Max. Velocity: W.F. 2.1
but I copied that from this (image included)

its the problem with the shuttle stemming from The Menagerie, how does a sublight vessel hope to keep up with a warp driven ship, has limited warp drive so I added one, I think on reflection that 1-parsec (3.261564 Lightyears) range would be more in keeping with the shuttle abilities. mostly supplies.

Yeah... they kinda blew it with The Menagerie. Even with limited warp capabilities, no way is a shuttle gonna keep up with, much less catch, a starship at full warp speed.
