[QUOTE]Originally posted by MarianLH: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Intruder1701: [qb]I did like the page though but there would be some things that I would change. [/qb][/QUOTE]Me too, though I would very much like to hear what [i]you'd[/i] change, given your actual experience. IMHO, "Alienology" needs to get dumped from the Science Division. I suppose it could be changed to xenology or something, but by any name having an alien studies department strikes me as humanocentric. The Biology Dept. would handle alien plant and animal life without making any kind of "us and them" distinction. Besides, what else are they there for? The off chance of running into a human colony? I'd also move Logistic Support and General Accounting from Command Division to Ship's Services, and I like Diane Duane's notion that Recreation would be part of the Medical Division. Some of the entries seem to be for jobs that Starfleet as a whole would have, but wouldn't be found on a starship, like the Colonial Operations and JAG stuff in the Command Division, or Ship Fitters in Engineering. Seabees might be carried on some ships though, in case they need to build temporary shelters on a planet�s surface or something. Or, you know, to build a solar sail when some alien probe whips by and drains all your power... Having both a security division and marines seems redundant, but thanks to [i]Star Trek V[/i] we have department colours for both of them. Do real USN ships have any kind of navy security or MPs, or is it all done by marines? Maybe the blue collar guys in [i]Star Trek V[/i] were a special hostage rescue team sent along for the Nimbus III mission. Marian PS: As for treecats, I have no particular love for the manipulative little furballs. Bosuns, on the other hand...in my next life I want to be Sally MacBride. :) Do you think Starfleet ships have bosuns? Oh yeah, and: [QUOTE][qb]"Marian- Foamy's wife"[/qb][/QUOTE]...the [i]fuck?[/i] [/QB][/QUOTE]
