Yes, you were. Get to fuck fiddly, bloated, stately, olde Trek. Let's have some more of this new stuff.
But it's still Trek. I doubt they'd be able to churn out stuff this entertaining for anything but movies, and apart from the somewhat shaking events of the movie I think things might settle back into more of a routine again and develop more or less as they did in the 'prime universe' anyway.

Also, yes you can fit that many - if there's around 60 a shuttle. Theirs might be bigger, and be able to fit more people than the classic Trek ones. Which I never understood - I mean, there's essentially no lifeboat system for starships in classic Trek. Chances are you won't have anywhere to beam to in a disaster or attack, so having mass shuttle evacs is logical.
I don't buy that. The Kelvin was basically what, a Hermes/Saladin class scout or destroyer, right? Which has a smaller complement of crew, maybe 200 or so. And 60 to a shuttle? You'd struggle to cram that many into a runabout. If you were managing maybe 20 per shuttle that would fit with the crew size better, especially considering at least one was a medical shuttle... Weren't there escape pods in Enterprise?

Reckon the crew of a starship must be around 1,000 with all that. Cor.
The Enterprise D's crew is over 1,000, because it's ridiculously huge.
