How large or small of a crew will your ship have? Share thoughts here.

• This depends on if we allow genetic engineering. If so, the crew could be quite small and genetic engineering is used to supply the diversity. --DaveK

• This is now a nonissue. Authors came determine the amount of crew they desire for the size ship they create. Discussion is still ueful though. --Camidon 5/3/06

• (taken from [How is the Ship Built?] I envision a population of a decent sized city 50K-200k with all the necessary infrastructure to support such a large crew, food growing and processing, waste recycling, habitats like an earth city with parks and commercial realestate, control room, science labs, power stations, observation areas, perhaps mining areas to extract useful resources from the ship itslef. I'm sure there's more --Camidon 5/3/06
