[QUOTE]Originally posted by Guardian 2000: [QB] 1. "It's 29,392,499,070,661.5 miles to Alpha Chicago, we got a full tank of deuterium, half a pack of rations, it's dark, and we're wearing spacesuits. Hit it." 2. Very nice work on the calcs. Transport time values could be augmented with what was observed during the emergency beam-out in "1100100101010-awthehellwithit"[TNG1] . . . I seem to recall very rapid beaming. Cargo bay transporter use for beaming out personnel confirmed in "Starship Mine"[TNG6]. 3. In spite of the TM evac limit, I would think that a Galaxy Class starship should have greater capability, provided that comfort is not part of the equation. As per estimates by Bernd and myself on the actual floorspace of the GCS, they should have on the order of a million square meters of room ([URL=http://scn.infopop.net/0/OpenTopic?a=tpc&s=526090832&f=9700964644&m=7920923285]SCN link[/URL]). Giving everyone a generous ten square meters to play in would result in 100,000 beings throughout the ship. The only issues would be in regards to life support and replicator usage. The latter could be minimized with rationing, or (if possible) trying to have everyone bring some grub along. Impact on the life support system would basically be in regards to the air scrubbers . . . though 100 times the standard amount of poop could present a problem. I can't imagine, though, that buckets are an unknown in the 24th Century. 4. Shuttlecraft evac limits are established in "The Ensigns of Command"[TNG3], wherein it would take over a month to remove 15,000 colonists by shuttlecraft. [/QB][/QUOTE]
