There's a scaled down shuttle that is used as a Federation standard, but the warp sled section is only an external attachment, never in bays etc, as yeah, too damn big by far. 'IRL' this measures out at just under 50 meters in length for the sled.I wonder if anyone ever did a smaller warp-sled…for a combo that might fit a shuttlebay. This sucker towers over a Runabout.
The Dockport craft as I have heard it called, used its wedge for re-entry…and the nacelles hybrid warp-impulse units not seen again until the Klingon Bird of Prey.
Slow going on all the masking that is required but making a bit of progress.

But—why do I always think of strawberry custard yogurt when I look at it??
Ha. Me too !
