Re: Starship Crashing Into Bay Scale Problem: The Saucer Is 1701-D Siz
I like the original design of the Enterprise. She is a beautiful ship. The new Enterprise is fugly.
According to background sources, the number of crew aboard the new ship is 11,000. (Star Trek Film Dossier) To put this into perspective, the number of individuals killed at the Battle of Wolf 359 was nearly 11,000. ("The Drumhead")
If other ships in this JJverse are equally large and heavily populated, then the ship crashing into the bay might have a crew of thousands.
I don't understand the need for such a large number of crew aboard starships, or the need to make the ships as large as they seem to be.
