[QUOTE]Originally posted by machf: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by MinutiaeMan: [qb] I had this possibly brilliant, probably not-so-brilliant idea just now. I'd be very surprised if no one's tried it before, but [i]I've[/i] never seen it... ;) Why not count the number of escape pods on a ship and use that to estimate how many people would normally be on board? <SNIP> -- USS Prometheus: I counted twelve pods. Well, even if it's a warship, that's just dumb, and I don't think that a ship that big (especially one that needed crew for three separate sections) would have a crew of only 72. I guess we'll have to assume that they had a lot more pods protected under the ship's armored plating. <SNIP> [/qb][/QUOTE]Are those pods visible when the ship sections are assembled together, or when they are separated? If it's when they are separated, well... but if it's when they are together, then there may be additional pods hidden on the "contact" surfaces. Though it wouldn't be a practical design if they have to evacuate the ship while still in a single piece... [/QB][/QUOTE]
