I have an idea that might help out for the purpose of being on the "same page" regarding terminology amongst ourselves. How does this sound?
Flight Bays - This would refer to the Alpha and Beta Bays (Pods).
Landing Deck - The entrance to the Flight Bays where the Vipers/Shuttles land.
Launch Deck - Where the Launch Tubes & elevators for the Vipers are located
Hanger Deck - Where the Vipers/Shuttles are stored/repaired
Does this sound reasonable and agreeable? Feedback please.
