Starship Shifts
Anyone have any idea how many shifts the typical Starfleet crews serve on during a typical "day" (24 hour period)?
At first I was leaning towards 8 hour shifts, but thinking about it more, especially how crewmembers often love what they do and thrive at their "jobs", it makes me wonder if they wouldn't have 12 hour shifts.
The reason this is coming up is that my first combat encounter is happening early in the 'morning' (0100) when the Main Bridge Crew is likely to be all in bed. It kind of matters how many shifts to determine who will be in charge on the Bridge when this encounter happens.
Any ideas, thoughts, or comments?
