Personaly I'd have four. One in the Saucer and Engineering sections that are both on simultaneously, and another two backups on standby to take over if needed.

I would too. But those cores take up a lot of space and the engineering hull doesn;t look like it could fit another one in there.

Officers don't mop. :P

Very well. You may use a toothbrush instead.

Actually if you go by the TNG blueprints they already have the space in the engineering hull, it's just filled with dead weight instead of a forth core.

I didn't know Troi's quarters were in the engineering hull.

I'm thinking this is leading into the poorly thought out GCS design again. Well, let me ask you all this. This is the TNG warp core. The one that breaches if you fart in engineering. Do you REALLY want more than one aboard??????

Umm.............I'll go slink off to bed now. I've read the last couple of pages as a chat about warp cores and it's been completely wrong??????

Reading back, it sounds very weird as a warp core. Now I understand his confusion.

Warp core, computer core. Sounds similar.

Then again, when's the last time you seen a ship with three warp cores? :P
