How many people on the new Enterprise?

What was the crew compliment from TOS and how many rooms does it have?

What will the compliment be in the movie and how many rooms does the Enterprise have?
 
Rooms? I don't know but Kirk's TOS Enterprise had a 430 person compliment.

I don't imagine it'll be that much different on the Abramsprise.

watch the movie, buy the licensed tie-in crapola. find it out.
 
I'm not sure but I thought there was talk of this Enterprise being bigger than the TOS one.
I think that was only pure speculation borne out of somebody trying to measure the Enterprise from the teaser trailer using the size of the construction workers as a measuring stick.

In my opinion the new Enterprise is roughly the same size as the TOS version and probably has a crew of 430+/-.
 
According to the newest trailer, Pike tell Kirk that his father saved 800 lives from the Kelvin.

If Kelvin is smaller than Enterprise, Enterprise may have 800+. Sounds reasonable, considering the crew of a Aircraft Carrier, today.

Maybe the Kelvin was on a rescue mission evacuating a colony? That could be a reason why there were so many people on it.

There was (I was one of the ones who started it) based on early pics of the E under construction. Now that we have a "finished" model to look at it's hard to say. Based on window positioning, I'd call her 2 full decks thick at the saucer plus a half-deck above, below and inbetwee the two.

So not as big as I'd originally thought, but still a little bigger than the classic Connie.

Definitely possible.
 
In 'The Cage' Pike mentions that The Enterprise had 103 lives. I believe the A had at least double that, and the D had over 1,000 lives. I'm not sure about the E, but I bet it's less that the D because of it being almost a warship. Now the new Enterprise looks in between the A, and the D. I bet it's somewhere around 500.

I think it's a little higher than that:

BOYCE: Chris, you set standards for yourself no one could meet. You treat everyone on board like a human being except yourself, and now you're tired and you
PIKE: You bet I'm tired. You bet. I'm tired of being responsible for two hundred and three lives. I'm tired of deciding which mission is too risky and which isn't, and who's going on the landing party and who doesn't, and who lives and who dies. Boy, I've had it, Phil.
BOYCE: To the point of finally taking my advice, a rest leave?
PIKE: To the point of considering resigning.

Still seems a bit undermanned, but I think the ship's size and crew requirements were details which didn't get a great deal of consideration until after the series was underway.

the Kelvin is supposed to be arriving on the scene just as 47 Klingon ships are getting trashed.

Between that and the design of the Narada, I'm getting some "tentacle rape" imagery here. :lol:
