[QUOTE]Originally posted by Reverend: [QB] Actually I'm keeping a very strict scale here and so far the ship is a little over twice the length of a Danube and just under twice as wide. You're right though, the ship is about as wide as I dare make it, but any "thinner" and it become too small to handle (20? 30? did they even give a figure?) passengers and crew plus cargo, hygiene facilities and short term communal spaces. That is the dilema of designing this thing though and as it is I'm pushing it as far is it can within the parameters. Even so it's a crowded ship (hence the seperation of crew and passenger sections) and to acommodate the numbers I'm going on the assumption there are only 8 or so bunks in the passenger cabins, with people generally sleeping on rotation while everyone else either showers, eats or hangs out in the communal room, children included. I'm going with the idea that O'Brian and Sisko were given the two upper cabins which used to be the Crew and Captain's quarters/map room/office respectivly. As for the landing gear, I think those things are largly for stability as I plan on adding numerous skids to the underside of the hull and another set of gear on the aft section to balance things off. Even so, under normal circumstances the ship would have anti-grav thrusters and the SIF to hold things together. The Santa Maria of course lost all that when they landed, which is why I'm imagining they removed the nacelles, impulse reactors and warp core from that back. I assume they already vented all the plasma and dumped the antimatter pods in orbit before the containment fields failed. God knows what they did with the plasma coolant. Probably still bottled up and sitting at the bottom of the swamp, if it's not all still aboard the ship. Now that's an ecological disaster waiting to happen. [/QB][/QUOTE]
