The Aeroshuttle

Ok, so hear me out on this one....
With Intrepid's exterior getting an overhaul, I was thinking over what else we could have from Voyager.
When looking at the new model, I noticed that the Aeroshuttle on the base of the saucer looks even better than before (not so much a flat texture as previously).
So, what if (maybe as part of a bundle with the bridge etc, similar to the DS9 bundle) we got the Aeroshuttle? It could have the same stats as the runabout (as that's basically all it is; a Danube with wings) and could come with some kind of special console: maybe something like a console that calls a Delta flyer to support you?
What are your thoughts, and how would you organise the stats?

From the glitched out Tailor on Tribble it does really look like it could be a deployable pet. Maybe the Intrepid gets a Hangar for Shuttles and Deltaflyer. Would make sense since we all know that the Voyager was basically breeding shuttles :P

Which makes me think it might just be a pet of somekind
I've always been fascinated by the aeroshuttle, probably because we never got to see it used in the show (which seems silly really considering they ended up building a whole new shuttle when that was sitting there already totally unused haha).
If I ask you a question it is not an insult but a genuine attempt to understand why.
When I insult you I won't be discreet about it, I will be precise and to the point stupid.
Yeah I have actually seen that reasoning used in several Voyager novels. Still, I would have liked to have seen it.

But When they bring it I also want the Wave Rider from the future Nova Class.
It's pretty near to the Aerowing I think so I would love to see both of them. Sadly there are no really good Pictures from the Wave Rider deployed.

Yup...it was meant to be installed on Tuesday.
Couldn't resist :P
Except the fact that it is visible in the show, you can see the thrusters even so it isn't a "dustcover" like some ppl try to say.
The problem is that none of those ships is technically made or very capable of combat missions. That's why I would go with minimal armament but some science gimmicks that are useful, like hold or placate skills. Basically a "hunter's pet" to make a general MMO analogy.
Get the Forums Enhancement Extension!
This one is perfectly combat capable. I'd buy one.
