== Crew Capacity == | |||
This bothered me. I do clearly see the display in Forward Unto Dawn totaling crew capacity at 782, but that is a pathetically miniscule number for a vessel of this size, even if it is a frigate. Not including the engines, bridge pod, hangars, and lower section/cargo bay bit, a Charon-class still has "livable area" roughly equivalent to a modern aircraft carrier, which house up to 5000 people. Not to mention that with the retcons in Halo 4 and Forward Unto Dawn, the Dawn is way bigger than it was originally. | |||
Admittedly, the corridors on a UNSC ship are huge, and if the first few pages of Halo: The Flood are taken into account, each crew member gets his or her own small cabin, as opposed to a modern naval ship, where corridors can barely fit two people and the crew live in large "berths" cramped with bunks stacked three-high. | |||
So I can understand 782 being the capacity, but in light of the other things that display says (a running count of how long they've been without UNSC contact, the ship's structural status, and the number of survivors on board), I would assume that this terminal is displaying *current* status, as in "With only half the ship here, we can fit about 782." Anyone else think that should be mentioned as a possibility? [[User:Swordser|Swordser]] ([[User talk:Swordser|talk]]) 23:23, 26 August 2014 (EDT) | |||
