in Star Trek Online General Discussion
is there a way to increase the number of people in your brig or the passengers you can have?

    No. Those are locked at 20. However, your overflow bag can have a large number of either, but once you get above 50, the game won't let you do much of anything until you clear them out.
    It is said the best weapon is one that is never fired. I disagree. The best weapon is one you only have to fire... once. B)

    that really sucks, we can increase the number of officers, both bridge and duty, but cant increase brig or passengers?

    Look at it this way. These are starships not prison vessels, and despite the jokes about TNG, nor are they cruise ships. So why would you want larger places to put people you should not be regularly carrying?

    Refugees get better quarters though. They are bunked in with the regular crew and count against your normal Doff allotment limit. So you could theoretically have a Refugee Ship.

    AH but here I can argue about the prison/cruise ship comment.
    in a few TNG eps, the Enterprise DID have to carry a number of colonists on more than once occasion, i think it was alleged a few hundred each time?
    I think there was 2-3 eps for the colonists.

    One ep had them using the holodeck, the other had them using a/some cargo bays, to hold the people.

    Voyager used a cargo bay to transport prisoners from a prison ship that got destroyed, i think there was 10? prisoners, more than the brig could hold.

    Good point Azrael, good point, but still they were there.
    point is, if you are going with canon, room can be made.
    Drac, also good point, but why be forced to do that? you also have to wait till the mission using the ones in question is over then open and then do mission and repeat right?
    even if the max was ....... 50? each, it would be more than enough ..... yes?

    Yeah, you can only ever have prisoners 20 available for missions at any one time. But I've never really found I needed more than that for a days worth of missions. Now Colonists on the other hand... when trying to get a new toon run through the different nebulas around the sector you find you could use 50 colonists at one time. ;)

    if you are KDF you need prisoners just as much, some missions start low as 350 dil and up to ..... 1k? and thats really useful if you are in real need for dil.
    its nice after going to bed, to be able to get up and accept all the mission rewards and having just enough for refinement and stashing a little extra.
    prisoners for Fed are useless, true.

    It is simply a game restriction Cryptic has decided to implement that is applied to all star ships across the board whether it is the Temporal Heavy Dreadnought Cruiser (Enterprise J) or the B'rel Bird of Prey. Doff compliment is limited to 500. Prisoners are limited to 20 and Passengers/Colonists are limited to 20. That is a total of 540 Doffs. And that excludes the captain and all the Boffs. Just accept the limitation and move on.

    That is actually a lot of people to cram into a B'rel BoP which typically has a 6 - 12 crew compliment and can hold up to 4 prisoners.

    It has room. Just throw out the unused computer core and replace the livestock with prisoners. You might only have 470 of the 540 when you get to your next stop but you can do it. >:)

    It would be kinda cool if the Diplomacy commendation granted more Passenger slots as you gained levels in it.

    It would also be neat if Marauding commendation granted more Brig slots as you gained levels in it.

    exactly, it doesn't even have to be a LOT of extra slots, a max of 50? should be about all you would need

    even so, only having 20 max?
    KDF has ..... what? 4? duty officer missions that give a range of rewards, then there is the nebula missions, i think there is also a mission FED players can have in Alpha Quad ...... near Cardasia?

    generally speaking, I think the Fed should also get more missions for prisoners too.
