Kevin-

Methinks you refer to the Aggie Class, not the Omega, as the O's have no
rotator.

Anyway- The Destoyers are all business. There is no need for extra
storage space onboard, and certainly no need for passengers! This
allows for a portion of the cylinder describing the same arc as the full
cylider ships. At one time, we strongly considered locking down the
rotator section during battle to increase manouverability, and not
using a cylinder or sphere would have made this concept more practical
in presenting a narrower target to the opposition. As it is, we
postulate that the control systems of the class can take into account
the additional torque generated by the spinning section.

Besides- we would have to spend a heck of a lot more on filming Zero G
sequences if we locked down, or strap all the actors to their seats.
Tough to do that acting thing in a 5 point belt for any length of time!

Okay, Okay- I'm the first contestant for the dumbass of the week award!

Of course it is the Omega Class.

Too many hours, too many ships, too many file names. For those who
care, the files in Lightwave are labelled AgClasDestr, so I fell back on
most recent contact protocol.

Anyway, the rest of the answer does not suffer from the same caffeine
induced hallucination, and is correct.
