[QUOTE]Originally posted by Daniel: [QB] AAAAAAAAHH! Where did they get that picture from?!?!? Oh the inaccuracy! The noncanonicity! The nacelles DO NOT stick out that far on a Miranda. Also, according to measurements given, the Defiant should be a little over half the length of the Miranda. That was WAY too big. Not to keep picking on you, Mark. I hope I'm not giving you an inferiority complex. You're probably a lot older and wiser than I am. Or maybe you're not. ANYWAY. I understand that crews in the days of yore had to recieve much more training to operate systems that have been simplified by 2375. However, Just because the systems have been simplified doesn't mean you need less people to run them, exactly. Remember, the whole crew isn't working around the clock. Voyager is staffed by 150 crew. That means that at any given time during normal cruise mode, she is only being operated by 37 people. Now of course, this is depicted innacurately on the show, as there are about twenty-five people manning engineering and about twelve on the bridge. Given a crew complement of 220, a Miranda of 2285 was being run by 55 people per duty-shift. That sounds pretty reasonable to me. Fast forward to 2375. I hold the minimum number of people per shift should be at least 40. Therefore, the maximum number of crew would be at least 160. I don't buy into this "36 running the Brattain" or whatever. That's NINE people running a Miranda, if divided into four duty shifts. Eighteen if all of them work twelve hour days. Now if there are 750 people aboard an Excelsior, 187 crew are on duty at any given time. With 500 crew, it is reduced to 125. That does not sound unreasonable for an Excelsior, which is about two times as big as a Miranda. [/QB][/QUOTE]
