I dunno...don't even know what colour the inside wall panels are...i'd imagine they'd be relatively spacious....

I would guess pretty Spartan. pretty naval-type bunks, rather than the actual beds of a Fed starship; personal in-quarters replicators would be doubtful; no separate living/dining rooms; bedrooms, and dressing rooms like a Galaxy-class senior officer's quarters. I imagine that each room could have it's own washroom.

Even so, it's probably a paradise for Gunny - he's never been an officer, and has always had to work for a living.

Ah see I thought, considering the relatively low crew count, you could have a comfortable style inside. And for some reason i thought the Tholian heritage would give the ship a Blue look all through the inside.

I'm sure space isn't an issue - rather, I doubt anybody designs as much luxury into crew quarters as the Federation.

I didn't think it would be on par with the almighty space hotels of the Federation...I just thought it would be...comfortable...not comparatively opulent.

I was thinking it could be all over the place.

I figured food replicaters would be out as traders don't have member worlds providing all their antimatter, dilithium etc and so, like on voyager, it would be too energy expensive.

Beyond that however I figured furnishings would vary wildly based not only one what is affordable, but, since this is a newly purchased/remodeled ship, what came in it when the Tholian sold it. I wouldn't have been surprised to walk into a totally empty room because the previous owners took their stuff with them and Thrall didn't think about furnishings.

Size I figured would depend on how the remodeling was done. We seem to be a freighter reconfigured to pack in three heavy photon torpedo weapon systems and possibly more beam weapons than the origional spec. If they weren't in the original plan extra crew quarters might have been the first things to do when they were shoehorned in.

On a whim I decided to poke around and see if I could find some freighter ship internals.

No luck. But I think this

is probably what our "peers" are and possibly roughly the specs our ship would have had when first built.

Nice to know Sally keeps a close eye on things, though.

Fixed it, with something more realistic...I think.

I know what you meant, I just feel like nit-picking.

Jabbers and Monroe are you around? You should see about getting onto the ship.

There is probably a small trickle of people headed there as other crew hired in the bar.

Anyone have any comments on the room? If nobody has any ideas I might go with the idea that the Tholian paid more attention to the burst launchers than remembering to furnish the things after the last owners moved all their stuff out. Maybe go with a small "efficiancy" type apartment(flat) size.

Presumably whatever I go with would apply to other rooms as well though.

Given the ship, I'd imagine crew quarters being small and cramped. Machinery and power systems probably take up a lot of the habitable areas of the ship, causing quarters to be small. I'd imagine a small bed, somewhere to store things, and maybe a desk and a chair.

I came down with the flu so I'm going to hold off on posting until I can think straight then play catch up. If you'd like to post what my character does in the meantime I don't mind.

Only a little tiny one....It seems that most have lost interest so i thought i'd reignite the flame, so to speak.
