Azanti High Lightning crews?

[penal battalion]

Does anyone have an idea what the minimum crew for AHL ship could be? No weapons or subcraft needed. Just the basic crew to salvage a hulk and get it to do 1, maybe two jumps within 6 months. The number of bridge crew and engine staff. The players are keen to try and get their 10% salvage fee but need to know how many of the company to pull off routen trade runs and the like, will they need to draft in the office staff as well? That will be popular with the tea boy!
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers.

Here's a swag:

1. Enough pilots to man all required maneuvering stations (obviously computer/tech dependent but could be as low as one)
2. A navigator (could and probably should be a pilot as well)
3. Enough engineers to man all engineering stations during maneuvers (dependent entirely on the drive/plant tonnage)

You don't need stewards, medics, gunners, or any other riders. Except in engineering (and maybe the bridge), you don't need to man watches as a warship normally would. Even with extremes in automation, you probably want atleast one engineer walking the deckplates, in case of a minor problem.

I know these aren't exact numbers (which you were probably looking for) but a lot depends on your image of an AHL; super high-tech ship-of-the-line (Andromeda) or old-reliable matron of the fleet (Galactica). I mean, with Rommie, Hunt gets away with a rag tag crew of 5-6, none of whom received any training on operating or maintaining a ship of Andromeda's complexity.

Come to think of it 1 steward would be needed, they all claim to be unable to cook of even find the kitchen!
AHL is a 60000 tonner with jump5, no small engine problem! I have a feeling we're looking at more like a Galactica type situation.
The 1 engineer per 35t is all very well but!

The Stats read like this for the ship originally:

Manuver =24
Elec=36
Command=38
Gunners=318
Bridge Elec.=132
Power Plant Eng. =214
Maintenance =160
Medical staff =30
Stewards =30
Ships troops=150

Let us assume you need at least 10 percent to run the ship in power plant Eng., Command, Manuver, Maintenance, and Electic.?

Thanks Chuck. Good info there. The 10% gives a good figure and means lots of role play horrors for the PCs.
Job done, sorted.
