[snip]Yes overall its very similar to the NX-Class engine room, slight difference in that smaller status displays are obvious, and there is an off-set room for a CE’s VERY cramped ‘office’ but not much else. Further across the hull there are maintenance and storage bays for parts and repairs. The only other big difference vs the Bonaventure class and NX-Class is the warp core and M/A pods can be ejected (basically the floor of the engine room has a hull side panel slid away and the whole rooms floor drops like a bomb bay). Though why the bonnie class and ‘detach its warp nacelles’ is a mystery to me go figure, anyhow hope that answers your question Gene!
Yep, thanks muchly Rob! .. Gene
The key thing to keep in mind is that the Lunar Rover class (or least the first 4 ships mentioned) were all meant primarily as protype testing platforms for designs, tech, and other ideas which could be field tested etc and then approved for use elsewhere. For the Sojourner you still have that ability and it will sometimes happen but its also a fully equipped ship for usual missions too.
GM CockRoach
Oh … one more that just popped to mind. Bonaventure had crew of 55 and so does the Sojourner even with 7 decks rather than 4. Bonnie specs had the department numbers listed, such as 15 for Engineering. Can we say that the numbers are the same for Sojo? I ask as I have cough nearly all of the slots identified for named and ranked NonComms and one NL (Our good Reggie Green).
Gene
You whaaaat? Do you have a list for those?? I want it! AHAH

I can name them if you like. Even have shift designations for most of them. <G> ..
We need a ship wide NE list. Buhahahaha goes to make some up just because

Have two MACO’s and two Science NE’s as well .. one was El’s roomate and as there were shared ‘facilities’ between cabins had the neighbors named too, a pair of MACO’s, and started on an annoying Vulcan observer El met at a station between the last sim just in case I wanted to plague her more but had not yet ran that past Mel.

So yes the Sojurner is bigger then the Bonnie was, (about as big as the NX class actually) BUT the reason for this is there are a lot of empty spots to do room refits or external hook ups for experimental tech or such or try out new ideas or the like. Thats one big reason. So I know the Bonnie spec did break down the crew counts, so if we count having one squad of macos (8 total), the crew count is 63.
Just going off the default 55 this comes out to roughly 13.75 crew per the core depts of sci/eng/armory/med. Now given the default idea of the Lunar Rover is a big focus on science and engineering experiments I would figure roughly speaking the crew break down is along the lines of like.
15ish - Engineers
15ish - Scientists
9 - Docs/Nurses
9 - Armory folksI figure then you got to have a ship’s cook staff so lets say:
4 - Miscellaneous staff for cooking and general ship upkeep helping out anywhere that is needed
You mean like the hapless person who vacuums the bridge ..
Then I figure another say:
3 - Pilot/Helm trained folks who probably also serve as engineers or the like as needed
And then if we decide to have MACOs we’d have 1 Officer (1st or 2nd Lt rank) and the other 7 be non-coms (1 a Sargent say and the rest lower rank)
Googled that one .. current Naval ratios are around 3 non comms for every officer. I built my Engineering group to being 4 officers including the Chief and 12 Non Comms ranging from Seaman up to Warrant Officer.
Obviously this amount could change mission to mission with lay overs at Earth or the like. But in my head this is what I saw the breakdown being.
Hope that helps!
GM CockRoach
Totally helps Rob :) .. Thanks
