Did I post this before? I might have.

Funny thing is if you look at the crew compliment of the Enterprise D and compare it to the size, good chunk of the corridors WOULD be empty. The thing is way bigger than a Nimitz class carrier yet has a smaller crew size. The thing could handle over 10,000 civilians in case of an emergency evacuation on top of its standard crew compliment.

 

[wonko the sane?]

Yeah, for peacetime operation: automation made the crew compliment smaller than for any other ship in history. The galaxy class wasn't just a new type of starship, it was a new KIND of starship.

Edit: but you also have to be aware: when they state the crew compliment, they usually omit dependants and family.

Plus, Worf has been storing his dirty laundry in the empty rooms for years. He never has figured out where its supposed to go.

Most of Deck 8 needs to be written off as a total loss.

Main crew complement was around 1k. Family along for the ride was likely around that much as well, still well under capacity. The Galaxy class ships still in service by the Dominican war probably had a major personnel increase. Gotta have ground assault troops ready and more pilots and flight deck crew available. Shuttle bay one was friggin huge, after all.

 

[wonko the sane?]

Oh yeah, and the demands of a ship in war time are significantly more strenuous than just wandering around exploring. So more engineering crews, more relief crew for active shifts, probably even switching to a four shift (damn you, jellico!) system to prevent loss of efficiency.

war changes you man, war changes you.

Galaxy class ships still in service by the Dominican war..

Those shape-shifting, untrustworthy Dominican b******s.

I swear there used to be a "damnyouautocorrect" website but now it's been hijacked by some dodgy site and all the other related searches yield fake versions of it behind Fakebook/Instascam ad-paywalls.
