![]() I imagine a successful one could be added onto and evolve larger and larger until it is like a city in space. No not on your ship, but a massive space habitat. So if you are going to live in space for months or years. Space is one of the most hostile places for life as we know it. So unnecessary stuff that cuts into TWR can and should be cut out if it lowers TWR significantly. especially with spaceships.Ī manned vessel needs to be fast enough to get where it is going before life support supplies run out or break. optimization is BETTER than jack of all trades. If there is one thing space sims taught me that even applies to IRL space flight it's this. The way I see it, there is no need to go all out with luxury, since even in scifi, vessels seem to to be subject to TWR, meaning small vessels are zippy but big huge snd scary ones lumber around like the whales they are. In fact, the faster a scifi vessel is the more logical turning it into a space passenger liner becomes. Ha! Instead of a command crew all you really need for a space passenger liner of 125 passengers is a small flight crew and a pilot and co-pilot! and that is only if I had passenger spaceliner. If reality and scifi were mixed with a bit more reality, I really do not think any scifi vessel needs a large crew.Īt most I would make the vessel like a luxury airliner in microgravity with sleeping pod rooms. Most often in media scifi space opera, crews are large.įor example on the original Star Trek think they had a crew of 125 or so. ![]()
