OOC: I am going to start the thread with the shuttle.

IC: IN the shuttle, the away team could see the difference between the Merry and the Genesis. Besides the size, the outward appearance showed the difference between the technologies. The Merry looked more like a something from a steampunk novel with the rough square edges when compared to the smooth lines of the Genesis.

Another thing about the difference of technologies was the time it took for the Merry’s shuttle bay’s doors to open. It took an inordinate amount of time, especially to one from Starfleet, for the doors to open and close.
