W/O pods the numbers are like
6-15 Frigate
100-300 Cruiser
10000-2300 Battleship
This is about how many people you're killing on every Non Pod Captained (NPC)ship though Im pertty sure the pirates found a way to reduce crew size without using a pod.

Ship crews are arranged by agents as well to serve aboard your ships, either from the station the ship is built in or assignements made from mission agents, the pay for these crew members is probably in a the hundred isk or less range for a set time, none the less isk in comparison to normal people currency is like bars of gold. 12000 isk can retire an entire familiy rather comfortably. We can buy a luxury car for 500 isk outright. Anyone serving on a capsuleer ship already knows that they're considered worthless outputs to thier capsuleer captains and are thowaway trash but the money they earn in service may be enough to save thier families from whatever troubles plauge them in this abysmal universe.
Which makes our next topic,
What is the non pat population in eve? its got to be in the trillions I bet considering humans are all over the damned place.
BTW
Pod ships in theory can run without crew, but a pod ship with crew will supposivly run smoother and more operational.
Also there is far more lore explaining what crews do aboard capsuleered ships, there isnt really any lore supporting what is going on when there is absolutly no crew. EON Magazine also features multiple stories of pod ships with crew, and the simple fact is its far more easier to build a ship to accomidate a crew and then modify it to have a pod than designing two entirely sperate designs for one not to include crew.
From what Ive read and seen explained so far though Pods significantly reduce crew sizes even on the largest ships rather significantly up to 50% less crew required and original or possible specifications.
IE all capitol ships by hidden database stats are declared to have a crew of 1000 people if i recall right. And we all know a titan the size of a station can probaly house a large citys worth of popualtion.

 Originally by: William Walker
I always imagined that the possible crew of a hulk would be limited to organizational duties or piloting support. The rest would be automated robots and drones. The minerals of space are just too much even for worthless minmatar slaves. We don't want them to get Derj's disease now do we. It is just cheaper to replace robots and drones.
However on a battleship or similar it would make more sense to me to have a larger crew as there are far more duties and things to do. You have to swap the poopdeck, shiver your timbers etc. etc. much like a naval ship of current days.
Isk wise, regular people are DIRT cheap.
