[QUOTE]Originally posted by Triton: [QB] Thanks for your response Reverend, I appreciate the issues that you raised. After reviewing what I posted, I wish there was a message recall feature in the forums. Insert foot in mouth, chew vigorously. Thanks for the link to Bernd's [i]Java[/i]-class, I was not aware of this design, and it is pretty much the same idea I was thinking about when I proposed the [i]Isolde[/i]-class. Regarding the 60,000 person emergency evac limit, on second thought, I agree with you too. In no time that many people would be quickly living in their own stink. Logistically, you couldn't feed and tend to the sanitary needs of that many people for no more than a couple of hours. The ship, as imagined, is essentially a large number of containers strapped together on a warp sled-like space frame. Re-reading my post, it sounds like what I was proposing was in the real of the fan-boy "under" ships that are constantly being shot down, even though it was a freighter. Sigh. :( I also appreciate your "eggs in one basket" comment. If you had desperate need of spare parts or munitions, you wouldn't want to entrust them all to one or a handful of freight-carrying starships. The threat of piracy or accident is too great to accept the risk of shipping them in that manner. Sorry, you probably get the custom art request a lot too because of your frequent posts to this and other forums. Just consider my post as a regretable example of newbie foolishness. :) [/QB][/QUOTE]
