[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mark Nguyen: [QB] Nope, that one was me. We were arguing at the time as to just WHAT you could fit inside a standard GCS shuttlebay according to the blueprints, and if the starships seen in "Favor the Bold" et. al. could carry the fighters we saw to the battlefield; as it turns out, it was quite a bit. Also, the alternate E-D from "Yesterday's Enterprise" was capable of transporting 6000 troops by design - which in my view means including barracks, logisitcal supply, and transporters/transportation to make it a viable troop carrier. Since the alternate future didn't have any significant differences in technology, and teh E-D was still the same outwardly, you can assume that in wartime a GCS could be built to similar "battleship" specs given time and resources. The "emergency evacuation capacity" of a GCS is 15,000, which would mean lining the corridors and doubling up on rooms. Remember, Voyager once took on 200 Klingons for a brief period, and even with her expansive volume, was still doubling up on quarters. For reference, a typical aircraft carrier has less habitable space more embarked small craft or warplanes, and they support 3-5000 crew constantly! Mark [/QB][/QUOTE]
