Frigates are generally around the size of a Boeing 747, which of course is not tiny when you stand next to one or park next to one in a 737
i tend to think that outside of gameplay the ships die much slower and break up more and that they would have something like life boats. but like any combat ship losses will always happen.
of course to put something in perspective, a megathron which is 1km or more bow to stern has a crew of 6900. that is a pretty small crew for a ship that freaking big considering a USN aircraft carrier takes only around 1300 less and a mere 330m long. so we must have a ton of automation on our ships that the crew is there to maintain and oversee, as robotics only reduce the hardest labor jobs and simply create slots for people to run and maintain the robots and their programing. our Battleship guns are likely fully automatic but they likely have a huge crew that keeps those auto loaders in top shape.
would kinda suck to have that 1400mm jam because all it needed was an unscheduled dab of grease. something a human could hear squeaking but id imagine a
Fixbot would totally miss.
*Used the Aircraft Carrier as a perspective item as it is something most of us have seen and know about.
in EVE however it is the Titan that serves the same job as the carrier does IRL, put a nearly totally self supplied show of force off your enemy's shore(or in EVE, their atmosphere)

they have crews, they do not have a bridge crew.
in short if star trek ships had pods, you would have no bridge crew but you would still have red shirts.

nice analogy, considering all those condors i used to lose.
condors have no crew other then the pod, Kestrals have a few redshirts though! and a titan has a freaking ****load of redshirts.

i tend to think some crew gets away in life boats but like most combat ships there is always losses.

my guess is skills really come down to using the data coming to us from the systems. so we can aim more true with more gunnery skills for example.

not all the Enterprise however where battleships. i think the first one was really a cruiser or battlecruiser.
