[QUOTE]Originally posted by Raw Cadet: [QB] In the "simple versus complicated" engineering debate, I think I "side" with the "simple." I believe some modern naval vessels and tankers can operate without a manned engine room, and even a "full complement" of engineers is a relatively small number. Granted, a warp-engine is probably much more complicated than a diesel-electric or gas-turbine engine, but, our ("The Next Generation" era) heroes have over 300 years of warp engine experience and knowledge to draw from, and imagine what 24th Century computers can do. Thus, it seems to me an engine room could effectively have just a few panels for crew members to doze at. That said, I guess the "Enterprise" "E" is my favorite engineering; it conveys a feeling of power with that warp core, but it has the simplicity of an advanced, highly automated control center.
