The Tuffleyverse FB ships use 1 Mass of ship = 1 crew member, but there
is nothing in the rules stating this. MT specifies the size of the
Marine contingent aboard each ship, but gives no relation between the
size of the crew and the number of Marines.

The real answer is, of course, that the exact size of the crew is
completely arbitrary - what is important is the *relative* size of the
crew (in comparision with other games), and you can (and the rules do)
use the ship's Mass for that purpose. The actual number of crew members
aren't used in any game calculations.
