Thanks, and once again, welcome to Memory Alpha!--Alan del Beccio 21:17, 14 Sep 2005 (UTC) hehe took me awhile to find out how to send messages, still not sure if its working, but ill try anyway... well, i remember from tng condundrum that when worf said they had 10 phasers, he also said they had 250 photon torpedoes. And also, about the norway class, i wasnt ENTIRELY sure, but in Starfleet Command III, during a mission a norway class ship was destroyed, and your ops officer states that there were 357 personnel aboard, so i guessed 300-400. Not sure if a game would be accurate enough, but it was accurate with everything else, and i guess u decide if u wanna keep it or not. lol, im new at this, not used to it yet.

 * If you wish to add a note about the compliment of photon torpedoes found aboard a starship, please do so by citing a canon source along with your contribution, rather than making your addition appear as mere speculation. --Alan del Beccio 21:24, 15 Sep 2005 (UTC)
 * What is your sources for the crew compliment for the ? --Alan del Beccio 02:25, 17 Sep 2005 (UTC)
 * I'm glad to see you found it, nice catch. Now you just have to re-write the perspective that you added that information in so that it reads like the rest of the paragraph. And no, games do not count as legitimate sources, and yes, now that you mention it, I do recall that reference from the game. It might be worth add it as a note in the background...something like: In the game Star Trek: Starfleet Command III, it was said that the Norway class had a crew compliment of X number of people. Anyway, your best bet for getting used to how things work around here would be to visit some of the links in the welcome paragraph I left you at the top of the page, they are quite useful in giving you a crash course in the art of the wiki! --Alan del Beccio 03:14, 17 Sep 2005 (UTC)
