what i need is a little brainpower...

Is it feasible for a ship, going at full impulse, to be traveling at 149,750 k/s (that's almost 1/2 the speed of light)

also, i was wondering what the appropriate crew compliment would be for a ship that's 835 m long, having a beam of  235.7 m at the saucer (if that in itself is even something of a reality) and being 35 decks high (each deck is 3 m tall, for a full height of 105 m) and how many escape pod should a ship have, along with the number of people each pod would carry.

thanks

does this have to do with BC in particular?  if not, it needs to be moved to a more appropriate forum...

actually, it does.... im working on a stats sheet for a ship that I'm hoping to get started on...... eventually and i was looking for some feedback.

well, I suggest you check out DITL.org and ASDB.net, also you could pick up a copy of either the TNG technical manual or the DS9 technical manual, as these are good references for these types of questions.

the best I can answer for your questions is that yes, full impulse is actually usually considered to be .75c, and the dimentions you gave are about the same as a Sovereign class, maybe a little larger, but smaller than a Galaxy class.  that might put the crew between 800 and 1000 depending on how luxurious the crew cabins are.
