[QUOTE]Originally posted by CaptainMike: [QB] One thing people always seem to forget is that every single person of the 430 on Enterprise must have had a job to do (besides being the unlucky wearer of the red shirt). A lot of people think that a starship could be run by 7 people from the bridge, but the truth is it would just fall apart without the lower decks doing their jobs. (actually it did fall apart.. in 'The Search for Spock', running the ship by automation failed in no time flat) This includes dozens of grunts who actually run around phaser rooms, to target and fire them (seen in 'Balance of Terror', the yellow jumpsuit guys Tomlinson commanded, analogous to the assorted extra grunts that seemed to be required for torpedo launching in 'The Wrath of Khan'); lots of engineers and probably shuttle pilots, nurses, scientists, etc etc, and probably map technicians (BTW, 'The Corbomite Maneuver' began on the bridge with photographing starcharts, an activity which involved several of the bridge officers.
