RE: fitting crew to hull

That's a good method.
Here are some others so the group can decide:

Add extras to the end of the last row:
0000x0000x000
0x0000x0000x0
000x0000x000
x0000x000xxx

Start marking backwards when the end of the 4th row id reached:
0000x0000x000
0x0000x0000x0
000x0000x00x
0x000xx0000x

Start at the beginning again:
0000xx000x0x0
0x0000x0000x0
000x0000x000
0x0000x0000x

Spread number as evenly as possible between the rows (in this case 3 per
row):
000x000x000x
000x000x000x
000x00x00x
000x00x00x

Subject: FT: fitting crew to hull

Even before the change in FB2 about the amount of hull
boxes allocated to a ship design I had already been favoring
abut 25% devoted to hull (halfway between weak and average).
This puts the DCPs 5 apart.

I've come into some problems trying to fit the Damage Control
Parties into some hull box amounts if I don't follow some exact
percentage.  How would you put 12 DCPs in a ship with 50 hull
boxes?	The first 2 DCPs 5 apart and the rest 4 apart?	Like so:
OOOOXOOOOXOOO
XOOOXOOOXOOOX
OOOXOOOXOOOX
OOOXOOOXOOOX

I think this is better than being cheesy with putting 2 DCPs at the
end when using hull sizes ending in 4 (i.e., 84, 124, 144, etc).
(not that I won't name anyone who does this...Steve...oops)
