The invention of PODs didnt affect crew numbers much(Read the "hands of a killer" in the story section. All ships are crew'd by hundreds (frigates) to thousands of people
heh heh...hundreds?
The Millenium Falcon was an example of a frigate. Frigates have a crew of around a dozen at most IMO....they are not capital ships. They are basically large shuttles.
I'd like to know where all those hundreds of people are stuffed on a Condor or a Rifter, heh heh

As a rough guide, this is one of the early pics that shows the crew size for the Raven.
Awesome, thank you.

Bearing in mind they're already coding Rigs, I imagine it would be pretty easy to work this into the code.
What are rigs?

If frigates have crews, then why do they (most of them) have what looks like a 1-man*****pit canopy?
Some of them look larger. Even the Ibis has what looks like windows along the hull. The canopy is not the entire ship.
The Millenium falcon was the same way...it also has a smll canopy, but it has a lot of interior space as well.
Quote:
Actually, the milennium falcon is more like a fighter drone.
In the movies it is referred to as a frigate-sized vessel. It is used for hauling cargo, not as a fighter. A fighter (especially a drone) would not have (or need) a real cargo bay.

Thats a frigate folks, give or take 190 man or a bit less crew.
Even if we accept that standard, it still doesnt explain where exactly you are cramming that 190-man crew in a Condor or a Rifter. Does the pilot have a Bag of Holding from Dungeons and Dragons or something? heh heh
And 190 men still isnt "hundreds" plural.

Thank you. The argument is over, heh heh
That is pretty much what I expected. It is consistent with what the ships actually look like.

Just for comparison, the Enterprise-A from Star Trek (Captain Kirk's ship) had a crew of a little over 200. The Enterprise-E (the Next Generation) had a capacity of over 900. The Enterprise-A was considered a heavy cruiser, and the Enterprise-D was considered a Battleship.
So EVE seems to be a little on the heavy side when it comes to capital ship crews. The Scorpion doesnt look like it could hold 6000 people.
I do think it is cool that the ships have crews. I always thought it seemed kinda stupid to have all these huge ships in the game which are obviously designed for many many people (all the windows and whatnot) and yet have just one guy on the entire ship.
