There has been a dev post in Eve Library confirming that all ships above frigates have crews.

This dead hore has been flogged so often that ft's been reduced to a mass of pink & gray mush.
and yes, ships have crews. I remember reading somewhere that Battleships have 5000-7000 crew members aboard and that Frigs have between 1-3 (cruisers up to 100 etc).

My favourite suggestion so far is having special "Officer Slots".
A bit like rig slots, in that its another kind of ship add on. You could have none on a Frigate (because they either have very very small crews, or none at all), 1 on a Cruiser / BC, 2 on a BS, 3 on a Dread / Carrier, 4 on a Mothership, 5 on a Titan. Each special "officer" would simply bring another bonus to your ship (just like all sorts of other rigs / modules) but would specially require a wage, paid every DT. Obviously the better the officer, the more extortionate the wage.
Availability wise, basic officers could be available from NPC vendors, creating a new isk sink (which are always welcome). More advanced officers would be available for LP, special exploration finds ("rescue the crippled battleship" style) and however else.
that's a rather good solution to the concept - I'd like to see that, with some detailing - particularly the opportinity to take crews off other ships (gives the mission runners something to do)
I also like the idea of the various costs for initial hire (slave crews = more purchase, less upkeep, gallente = high upkeep, etc.)
I'd see such crew/officers (Ingame, I'd see such an officer slot also consisting of the crew under their command) giving bonuses like weapon reload times ("get those loaded, now"), *subtle* hull and armour hp regen ("repair crews to bulkhead 10....") sensor strengths/ranges ("get me a lock, I don;t care what it takes") and so on - stuff that would make details, but also personalise your ships - Ideally, I'd like to see such officers (and crew) able to be deployed from hangar barracks, with a upkeep whether they're in space or not.
this could also be a useful way to make slaver hounds, janitors, marines, refugees, etc become valid assets ingame, effectively making corporation "underlings" working for your corp, with the deployment of said staff types giving bonuses to the crews in barracks: "Join Letch Industries, an exotic dancer for every crewman" 
hrm. really would have a lot of potential.

Furthering my characters reluctance to fly larger ships because the fear of loss of life he knows and cares about is too great!
But yeah, while most people would just view it as another mod / stat to look at, I'd favour finding ship crews. Although gaining experience isnt really an EVE thing, they'd either be good, or they wouldnt.

Or you could research your basic officers just like a BPO. Perhaps then you could lease them out to other players and take a cut of their pay. New business: Crew Staffing.

Well it would appease the people that want some sort of XP grind if it applied to the crews. While keeping the SP over time for the skills which is the most important aspect anyway.
I like the ideas coming from everyone!

How many crew would there be on a titan?
Anyway, I like the idea of crews giving bonuses, having officer slots etc. Perhaps you could train the crew. When crewmembers die, they would be lost forever.
On the other hand it just adds another layer of complexity into the game, does it really enrich it?

Upgrading/Training crew is a MUCH better idea than the current combat booster system.

I have given some thought to this before and i think it would make an excellent addition. Extra complexity is never bad, can't get enough of it, with HeatÖ and all..

Probably a few hundred thousand if not more.

With the amount of crew deaths due to the Goons suicidings, one must wonder how the hell the crew on Goon ships haven't rebelled yet.
Good life insurance plan?
Great pay?
Promises of Exotic Dancers?

The way I understood it was that we are "pod" pilots, meaning we are the elite, hence all this backstory about us graduating from "some some school", and with this pod we could command the ship from just one place, and no need for a crew.
However, the npc's have crews, no idea how many, but that's 'cause they don't got all this suposed training from all those newbie corps and can't fly in pods.
I won't put money on this tho

Pod pilot's ships have crews, this has been confirmed many times by chronicles on the websites and in EON. In fact for a period of time EON stories focused quite largely of the world of the crews. They're just biomass though, having a better crew member here or there won't make any difference since most of the ships performance comes from the pilot, so upgrading crews would more or less violate the backstory.
