Voyager's unused aeroshuttle and the Delta Flyer

Voyager's construction of the Delta Flyer raises a question about the support craft already included in the Intrepid design. The panel points to the aeroshuttle visible beneath the ship and asks why it was never used. Suggested explanations include the craft being left behind or damaged, while another participant recalls production problems instead, so the discussion does not establish one definite cause. A newly built craft incorporating Borg technology also offered a different storytelling opportunity from deploying an existing shuttle. The exchange leads to a proposal for continuity work that checks new scripts against earlier episodes, written specifications, and details already present in the models.
