You're a Captain,you get to pick your starship. Which class?

[Teaos]

But standard shields stop transport. And for that shield to randomly have the right frequency would be a much to believe.

I think I know what you're trying to say, but the Borg sheilds seem to operate on as few frequencys that they have to. Probably to conserve energy or something. So, if the Transporter doesn't use the same frequency as the beam weapons it shouldn't be a problem. Not until the borg figure out what's going on and come up with an adaptation.

[Teaos]

Then a better plan would be to beam the heads off all the drones.

[Blackstar the Chakat]

Well, if you don't have access to a large enough transporter then the TR-116 with a micro-transporter attachment would be the next best thing.

Hey, did we just TR-116 a topic with the TR-116?

[Tsukiyumi]

Holy crap, you're right!

On a side note, I forgot just how quick that thread went off-topic. Quite impressive.

[Teaos]

Wow this thread is screwed.

[Tsukiyumi]

Wow this thread is screwed.

I don't know, we were still on-topic a few pages ago. It's not that bad.

How many crew do you think you'd need to run a Nova-class optimally?

[Teaos]

Dont you try to save this thread! It going down in flames

[Blackstar the Chakat]

Well, the Equinox started off with 80 I think. However for basic operations I'd guess maybe 10 or 15. Most of the crew is probably science teams and I'd guess that would take up at least half the crew, probably more.

[Teaos]

Remember you need to fill multiple shifts. People need sleep.

[Blackstar the Chakat]

Remember you need to fill multiple shifts. People need sleep.

Well, Voyager flew with minimal crew, while heavily damaged in Year of Hell. So I think at least 5 per shift for basic operations. Maybe 10 at most per shift. So 15-30 crew for optimal basic operations. Plus 50 science crew. Seems reasonable to me

Yeah, that sounds about right. I guess I'd stick with my original choice for a Runabout. Just me and a couple of friends exploring the nearby galaxy.

[kostmayer]

I'd certainly take a runabout, but not with 2 friends

If I was gonna be an actual Captain, I'd go for my long planned Nebula Class, modified Admiral Riker style - namely a cloaking device, big gun, and live Jazz playing in Ten-Forward - with Guinan replaced by a holographic replica of Ted Danson. No replicators or Synthale either - cooked food and real liquor. I'll just keep a few thousand pigs in the transporter buffer.

And I'd be stationed down on the Battle Bridge with Nog and Data as Helmsmen and Operations - the rest of the crew can stay up on the main bridge and have bits of the roof fall on them.

And I'd have a Danube or two in the Shuttle Bay.

[Teaos]

I'd either have the Nova or Intrepid. Say what you will about Voyager that ship was well built.

[drakkillus darksunn]

I would take a cloak-equipped Defiant Class, run some espionage missions.
