Under normal shipboard operating conditions, the doors to the shuttlebay remain closed. They are only opened when necessary. When opened, a forcefield is erected in place that allows craft to pass between the shuttlebay and space with ease, while still keeping the bay pressurized.
The shuttlebay is overseen by the Flight Deck controller. It is the responsibility of the Flight Deck controller to coordinate with the Bridge Operations officer in the event of any shuttlecraft landings or launchings.
The
Agamemnon carries a medium compliment of shuttlecraft that can preform
a variety of tasks, depending on the mission parameters. The smallest
craft in the vehicle inventory is the Type-18 Shuttlepod. The Agamemnon
is currently equipped with about 3 such craft. The Type-18 Shuttlepod
carries only two occupants at most and is capable of limited warp travel.
The second
type of shuttle carried aboard the Agamemnon is the Type-9 Warp shuttle.
This advanced craft can carry several passengers and travel at high warp
for extended periods of time. It is also armed with two phaser emitters.
The Agamemnon Carries 2 of this shuttle aboard at all times.
The third type of shuttle carried aboard the Agamemnon is the Type-11
Warp shuttle. This advanced craft can carry several passengers and
travel at high warp for extended periods of time.
Like the Type 9, the Type 11 uses some elements of the technology of
a Sovereign class vessel. Bio-neural gel packs have been included
as standard, a step up from the Type 9 computer system which offers the
gel packs as an upgrade only. Other technology incorporated is mostly centered
around the warp core and nacelles, which use allows the Type 11 to have
an equal speed to the type 9 but with a somewhat smaller power plant.
The Agamemnon carries only 1 of these shuttles aboard at all times.

In addition to
the standard compliment of shuttlepods and shuttlecraft, the Agamemnon
carries one (1) Repulse-class runabout. It has been named the
Sunfire. Based on the awesome Intrepid Class Starship, the Repulse
Class Combat Runabout is an awesome addition to any Starship. The Repulse
Class is 50% larger then the Danube Class Runabout. They can achieve a
maximum speed of warp 8.1 for 2.5 hours. It is also armed with 5 Type-X
phaser arrays and 4 Micro Quantum Torpedo launchers. It also have regenerative
shielding.

As
a special feature to the USS Agamemnon and to the rest of Bravofleet the
new Razor Class Long range fighter has been added to the ships compliment
of fighters. With 4 such craft onboard they will be an asset for
planetary operations and attacks in Multi-Vector-Assult mode
The Fighters are named, Exodus, Majesty, Badger,& Rainmaker

Type J phasers:
The type J phaser is much like the type VIII phaser, only very small.
The phaser beam is very concentrated, and can fire a single beam for up
to 10 seconds. However, the cool-down time for firing the phaser for an
extended period is very great. A table of cool-down times is provided below.

The USS Agamemnon also has a special protosype starship designed by Rear-Admiral William Coast-Endas and his former crew of the USS Galaxy. This Starship is a prototype and is a Mobile Fleet Control Center (MFCC) designed from a modified Blackhawk class runabout.
