I admire your interest into writing about the world we spend so much time in. As many before have stated whether distanced or personal all pod pilots have crews both large and small. this is supported by lore. and in many of the chronicles. this is a link to a piece I wrote awhile back about one of my RP toons thoughts and interactions with pod ship crews. http://thestormrageclan.blogspot.com/2011/06/ship-captain-crew.html fly safe |

thanks for the feedback I will change the background soon as possible. |

The way I understand it, back in the first days of eve you had to pay to recharge your capacitor and shields at station unless you just wanted to sit outside station and let them slowly recharge. Then you have the station management charging rent for offices and other little fees, including broker fees and taxes paid on trades, At the volume Us eggers do it that would be enough to keep the station crew paid very well. I tend to agree with the point that a shipGÇÖs crews pay is in the rounding of number in transactions, witch in my case based of the amount of trade I do gives me well paid crews for my entire fleet. I do think that this is an issue that could be talked in the future without making major changes to the way things currently operate. I would like to see expansion on this part of the lore at bit. For example my RP background means that I am with an entourage of about 4 to 6 non capsuleers anytime I am out of pod, Numerous others are much the same in their story lines. Where does there pay come from? Well I guess in the case of Amarrian holders most would be slaves, but I am Minmatar, I could be wrong but one of my assumptions from reading something somewhere was the 1interstellar credit was worth a lot more than any planetary currency or empire currency for that matter. |

I know this is CCP posting on crew size. but part of me wonders if its a bit small. I don't doubt the minimum ship complement size, but the maximum. Considering that a aircraft carrier in modern times about 300-400 meters long has a standard complement of 4000 people. The Idea that a carrier at least 10 times larger can only support about 3 times as many people seems not to quite add up. Particularly since on the Carrier description (the Amarr archon at least) it does note its purpose as 'troop transport.' 18,000 people at most just seems a little low...
But consider this a nerds nitpicking and not really meaningful at all.
thanks for the link, I did not know about it. Here is some semi educated speculation from a former USN sailor. The crew explanation for Minimum compliment seems to be correct depending on the automation or needs of the ship. Keep in mind that the USS Enterprise (just Retired) had an active crew of about 1800, fighter wings and crew made up the rest of the compliment taking the crew on board to over 3000. In real world to EVE comparison would put that class of carrier as a super carrier much like the Nyx. another comparison CGN 41 USS Arkansas had and active crew compliment of around 350 but we could run the ship with about 80. Real life to EVE comparison would be a Ferox or Cyclone

I tend to agree Thgil, in some of my writing (not yet published) there is the need for administration crew, and yes robots can stack boxes, but while I am scanning and operating the ship I would rather have a human mind handling contingencies instead of a drone, the more advanced the drone the more likely of becoming self become self aware. and those who can do repairs while in the heat of battle. Keep in mind capsuleer you are immortal, your crew is not. this is stated in several chronicles. |
