It's incredibley unwise. They should be sent to an armoured location in the center of the saucer.Mark wrote:
But would that be a smart move, considering most of the quarters we've seen APPEAR to be near the outside of the hull (basing that on the windows)? A hull breach could wipe out several families. Not saying that your wrong, because I've always assumed the same thing, but wouldn't that be kind of unwise?

It's unwise to have them on a ship designed for combat at all.

Re: Enterprise D - Staffing Breakdown
I'd also like to think that any civvies with their quarters in the engineering hull are transferred into the saucer, in case separation is ordered. Unfortunately, Generations depicts a mass exodus of civilians prior to separation, so Starfleet stupidity seems to reign supreme.Rochey wrote:I imagine they're just told to go to their quarters and stay out of the way unless told otherwise.

Re: Enterprise D - Staffing Breakdown
You have to feel sorry for the guy at tactical :-
"We've hull breaches on deck 16 section 3 - ah well, plenty more fish in the sea. I will miss the cat though. Ensign, can I bunk up with you tonight?"
Could be why the Galaxy Class quarters are so large - it gives them a couple of extra seconds to get the forcefields up before the occupant is blown across the room and out into space.

Re: Enterprise D - Staffing Breakdown
I'd imagine that sounding of general quarters is SOP for red alert situations. As to the vulnerability of said quarters... welcome to Starfleet!

Red Alert! All hands to battlestaitions! Sound general quarters! Make sure all seatbelts are fastened and tray tables returned to their full and upright postion!! In the event of a warp core breach, place your head between your legs, and kiss you a$$ goodbye!!!

Re: Enterprise D - Staffing Breakdown
But if they are in their quarters they get to watch the battle out the windows.
What does defeat mean to you?
Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

True. They could even be an early warning system.

Re: Enterprise D - Staffing Breakdown
I wonder if all ships put their bars at the very front of the ship. It would lead to the mother of all barfights whenever Picard decides to ram the enemy.

Re: Enterprise D - Staffing Breakdown
Or why said bar at the very front of the ship with all of those HUGE windows right there, would be an emergency shelter.kostmayer wrote:I wonder if all ships put their bars at the very front of the ship. It would lead to the mother of all barfights whenever Picard decides to ram the enemy.

His last post was back in March, if that's what you mean.
