The Cockpit may be used as an Emergency Escape Pod, complete with independent Life Support system, RCS Thrusters and Combat Rations. As shown in the diagrams below, should the need arise for Emergency Egress, the entire warp engine section may be jettisoned, freeing all the Cockpit for independent maneuvering. | The Cockpit may be used as an Emergency Escape Pod, complete with independent Life Support system, RCS Thrusters and Combat Rations.

The one other significant improvement made over the Arrow Class Runabout was minimum crew needed to operate the Argonaut. The Argonaut's systems were streamlined to allow a single person to operate the Argonaut but still provide maximum functionality. In light of this the ship designer's did away with the dedicated CO's seat in the Cockpit of the Argonaut. Similarly there is only one science and tactical stations in the Argonaut's cockpit as apposed to two of each in the Arrow's base design. This was done to maximize space in other sections of the ship. | The one other significant improvement made over the Arrow Class Runabout was minimum crew needed to operate the Argonaut.
