Subject: Calculating crew boxes... (AO problem also)
I've encountered a problem, try the following ship:
101 mass
Fragile hull.
Following the algorithm given in the book you have 6 crew,
10 hull boxes. 10/6 round up is 2. You put a DC party
every two boxes and you end up with 5 DC parties instead
of 6.
AO and Ship Designer both give 5 Crew when they should give
five in this case. It's not really their problem, it's the
suggested means of calculating where to put crew from
FT.
I think what I am going to do in this odd case is give DC
crews to the last two boxes. Any other suggestions?
41 and fragile fails also.
