[QUOTE]Originally posted by Masao: [QB] How long should a starship be able to operate without support of any kind? If (a big if) we accept the idea that antimatter is similar to nuclear fuel, refueling would only be necessary every few years, and range is essentially unlimited in that regard. If that is the case, range might be limited by impulse fuel (which might be collected by bussards), consumables (which might be recyclable with high efficiency or replicable), maintenance (that can't be done in the field), replenishment (photon torpedoes and other nonreplicable items), and crew comfort. Cap'n Mike makes Starfleet crews sound like a bunch of whiny little babies! Good thing they're not on submarines. [/QB][/QUOTE]
