[QUOTE]Originally posted by Reverend: [QB] No and yes, respectivly. Remember that the nominal crew compliment is only six and there are four sets of quarters, each of which can be converted to double bunks, so in reality there's room enough for eight. Before anyone says that's too crowded, remember that even with eight people on board, a three shift rotation means they're not all going to be sleeping at the same time, so in reality there's plenty of private time. Compare that to the bunk rooms seen on the refit Constitution (in ST:VI) and the Excelsior (VOY - Flashback) two to a room is nothing short of luxury for a ship that small. As I'm sure our resident ex-swabbie would agree. Actually, if I recally even the Galaxy class had double bunks for the junior officers, to say nothing of the crewmen. For the Deneva, the way I see it, with a Crew of six you're going to get two senior officers - probably Lieutenants, or one Lieutentant and an Ensign, maybe even a Lt Commander - as "Captain" and XO respectivly, with cross training in helm/ops duties. A chief engineer (Probably an experianced NCO/warrent officer) and an engineer's mate (crewman, or even an Ensign.) That leaves two spots for say a cargo specialist, security officer and/or possibly a medical officer, at least until the 2370's when LMH's and shipwide holoprojectors are included in the scheduled refit cycle. I imagine most crew members on a ship this small would probably require cross training in medical, science and engineering, at least on a basic level so everyone would have at least two jobs to fill. In the case of the USS Arcos, they only had a crew of two, which as I recall consisted of a pilot with no rank insignia (probably an NCO) and an engineer, (probably an elisted man.) In that situation I imagine neither is technically captain and it'd have to be a relativly short cargo run in a "safe" area of space since you can hardly expect them both to pull 12 hour shifts alone. One would think the computer is technically on watch duty most of the time, especially while at warp. [/QB][/QUOTE]
