>would make a crew unit cost 20 mass = 20 points
right? Of course it does also increase things like
shields and drives, so it will actually cost a bit
more.

  Oerjan has suggested that extra DCP cost 3NPV, and are spread out
through the hull boxes as usual.  Note that as you keep buying more
crew, more will be pushed into the first hull row, which won't help you
with threshold checks.
  Oerjan didn't mention mass for extra crew; I don't think I would add
it, just say that the crew quality is higher.

Well...how about herding civilians?  As the KV advance, you're trying to
get the herd, er, mob to the evacuation transports, and/or escorting the
trucks on their way out of the danger.

Not that KV think of Hu'Man as livestock--KV must be vegetarians.  After
all, they're not Predators.

Not so.  A simple way of doing it would be: Excellent increases weapon

Example: "excellent" firing B2 would do 2d6 at 16mu, and 1d6 out to
32mu.

Well, the usual estimation on the list seems to be that the colonists
would
tend to be pretty competent, militarily. Natch, the US westward movement
might belie that; plenty of easily terrorized dirt farmers compared to
the
much smaller number of gunfighters and mountain men.

Still, I like it. Be nice if some of the human 'cattle' turned into a
'cats', that is, random herd/mob members, checked, say, as they got
close
to a downed soldier(loose weapon) or a live KV(immediate threat),
suddenly
become combatants.

Could you do this in the squad-grained SGII structure? (Lot of groppo
thoughts for a vac-head, eh?)

How about using the system in B5 fleetbook, and allow better crews a
reroll
if a die comes out badly (offensive or defensive). Simple and would make
a
big difference if used at the right time.
