[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 7954600, member: 22779"] This is one of the reasons I tend to shy away from SF RPG's. Players are far, FAR more pragmatic than any SF writer could ever be. I mean, seriously, what self respecting PC would go on an away mission in what is, for all intents and purposes, a track suit? No armor? No night vision goggles? So on and so forth. Given ST level technology, an away team could carry a truly frightening level of offensive and defensive capabilities. Heck, look at the original discussions in this thread about evacuating the Romulan home world. The Romulans fielded 2 HUNDRED star ships. According to Memory Alpha, the older style Romulan Warbirds could carry a crew of 1500 plus officers, crew and troops. So, figure 3-5000/warbird if we're cramming people in there for an evacuation. That means they could ferry a million people with this one fleet. I'm going to assume that this fleet wasn't the entire Romulan fleet, only the Zat Vash (or however it's spelled). Why did the Romulans need any help evacuating their homeworld if they could field this kind of fleet on their own? And, never minding that, why are Romulans living in squalor if they have the capabilities of fielding this size of a fleet? If you have the production capabilities to build a fleet of this size (and remember, this isn't the only Romulan fleet out there), you can certainly rebuild your planets to have paved streets and actual houses.
