Typhoon size

galatt · September 15

How big is it supposed to be? Bigger or smaller than the Odessey?
And what's her crew compliment?

The announcement with the ship stats says it is the smallest (and most agile and fast) of the supercapital ships, so my guess would be somewhat smaller (though stockier) than the Odessey. It's apparently the Federation's equivalent of the Scharnhorst and Gneisenau of WWII, which were meant to chase down and kill cruisers which full dreadnaughts couldn't catch.

No idea. I would speculate between 800-1200 just at a glance.

The crew complement is probably somewhere this side of 1000.

The crew compliment is, "My, you look nice today. That shade suits you."

From a guess, just short of a Venator class (1300 metres long)

If I was to compare the Oddy to the Queen Elizabeth class Superdreadnoughts, then the Typhoon would be like the Renown class Battlecruiser.
Crew taking automation into account, I'd say 800-1,000 officers and enlisted including Marine detachments.

My bad, answered a necro

Typhoon class is 821 meters long. Information comes from one of STO's concept artists who mentioned it several months ago when the ship was being discussed on Twitter.

While this is a necro... think I'll let this one go for the time being. The Typhoon is still a relatively new ship so why not have some discussion again?

I think if I remember correctly the largest vessels of Starfleet when there was still a crew system in the game had a crew of 1000, while the large Klingon ships had 2500.

The Star Cruiser and by extension the Oddyssey were the largest ships in Starfleet and those were at 1000. Since the new Typhoon is roughly in the same ballpark I'd say we can assume 1000 as well.

The technical manuals gave a "evacuation limit" for the starships meaning if every available room was used to put people in while evacuating a starbase or a planet, the Galaxy class, long time largest vessel in-canon, could fit 4000 people (with a regular serving crew of 800 if I remember correctly). The Typhoon would probably have a lower evacuation limit compared to the Oddysseys and Star Cruisers.
