   @argv_minus_one The saucer section isn't supposed to land on any planet, nor is the rest of it. They are serviced in space. Probably wouldn't be a design feature. Tough luck, should it land.

   However, now I'm wondering how an elevator might work from reversed artificial gravity to the deck. I suppose the tube it is in could maintain the artificial gravity, then rotate the elevator compartment at the end, but that was never addressed, was it?

   Hm.

     How come we never see windows in the floor?

     Whenever we see the outside of a starship saucer section, there are lots of windows on the ventral side. So unless the artificial gravity is reversed on the ventral side of the saucer, there must be a ton of rooms with windows in the floor.

     And if the artificial gravity in those roons is reversed, then what happens to their contents when the ship lands on a planet?
