So how about hatch open, feet on the deck? And the aft hatch of the Jefferies tube (below the aft section) provides access to the boarding hatch.

Ok, I can clean out some space in my garage. Can you have it for me by Monday?
Maybe that is the computer core. The one just above the antimatter pods is supposed to be the pattern buffer, with biofilter attached. I couldn't find any pictures of a pattern buffer and just pasted in starship multideck computer core. The only schematic I've seen just shows a compartment below a transporter pad, but nothing was drawn in. Maybe I should make it look similar to that pole but different in shape. I don't have any of the tech manuals, and there's no picture of one in The Star Trek Encylopedia.
That's the one I mentioned. No help. So I guess this is how it should be:

Here's a screencap of that lit-up pole next to the aft station of the Flyer I was asking about. I'm still trying to find out what it's supposed to be. If it's not the computer core, then I should draw one in below the floor and label it, and do the same for the Danube class and shuttles.
And the lower screencap shows the Delta Flyer II, built shortly after the original was destroyed. It has what Harry Kim called impulse thrusters where the escape pods had been on the original Flyer. But this shows the doors opening up just as they had in the case of launching escape pods.

I was thinking about ODN or EPS as alternative to computer core. But I saw a picture of the computer processor on the Enterprise-D, which was a room with blue lights all over the walls, and Voyager's processor (from VOY: Concerning Flight), which is not much different from the hokum pole in question. Maybe the thing on the Flyer does all of that, keeping in mind that ODN and EPS conduits are usually shown bundled together.
As to the impulse thrusters, agreed. Silly. But the escape pods as I show them in the schematic (also seen in VOY: Good Shepherd and nicely depicted by Reverend at Ex Astris Scientia) fit snugly in there. And remember, when escape pods were launched from Voyager, doors opened then closed. But apparently, at least in that one episode, those impulse thrusters replaced the escape pods on the Delta Flyer II.

I can just imagine the discussions they had when the idea of replacing the escape pods with additional engines was first brought up. Just kidding. I really can't.
But technologically, the bays for holding those pods would probably have been prime victims for this sort of modification. If the bays with their nice hinged doors could hold lifepods, they could probably hold just about anything else, too, including plug-and-pray toys for single-episode use and more permanent fits. I'd think these extra engines were more like the latter, but still basically independent modules that could just be plugged in and hooked up to a few lines. Something similar to the extra impulse engines they installed on the Miranda rollbars during the Dominion War...

Maybe so, and they went back to escape pods after that episode.
Here's the same computer core, or whatever it is, in a room at Starfleet headquarters, meaning it's a standard item in the replicator database, or you could say, shared prop. (The door to the Borg Central Plexus was borrowed from the Delta Flyer, as well).

Aside from the font looking a bit off, I think those LCARS are coming along really well and I love stuff like this. Just wanted to say thanks for sharing it(Bolian flavor of thumbs-up for no particular reason)
Making LCARS fonts that look good and are legible in small sizes on a computer monitor is very difficult. But since you brought it up, I'm taking another crack at it. Here are some experiments. I made some slight impovements over this. Making it good enough to use in my LCARS system will be hard and depend on tiny improvements. If I can can come up with a design I'm happy with, I'll program a custom font driver just for this.
And I will post the final Danube and Type 8 when I get a chance to do the fiinishing touches. I think the Delta Flyer is about done.
And, by the way, that fiixture that we think is the computer core on the Delta Flyer also appears not only in a room at Starfleet Headquarters but also aboard Voyager herself, in VOY: Drone.

Okay, those are all done, and I've already put out a new package (Sept. 13) with 19 of these MSDs and other Trek tech schematics. Thanks for all the help getting the details right, guys.
I just came across this tribute to the Delta Flyer on YouTube, with Knight Rider music!!
