Battleship: 1000+

I concurr!

If you scaled a Starflier properly you should be able to crash it and destroy a tenth of a continent. -.-'

Well at this point for my order write-up I'm going to put crew complements on the lower end. The Order, again, is a small organization, we wouldnt have enough people to run battleships that took a thousand crew each.

Gunboats and gunships should not have many people, the orca gunboat for instance has 4 seats.

' Wrote:Gunboats and gunships should not have many people, the orca gunboat for instance has 4 seats.

yeah, a lot of gunboats have too little room for more than 5.


I think it depends on the exact purpose of the vessels, ZAS prison liners for example have over 200 crew, the reason for this being we may need counsellors, guards, nurses, doctors, surgeons, gunners, engineers, navigators etc.
We carry those who may be malnourished, scared, sick etc.

If we were just carrying diamonds only 10-15 would be at most necessary, to load/unload and navigate, and gun. Though they can be flexible in these roles, so there could even be less than 5.


So it depends purely on purpose, the order is there for surveillance primarily, not all out battles. You aren't a large organisation, and you have superior technology. The order would need/have to have due to lack of manpower, very few crew members
