I have my can opener here, with my handy can of worms.
I recently received Supplement 9 - "Fighting Ships", and was looking through it. Never having owned that before, I was surprised to see that many of the ships in that supplement are detailed in TNE, notably, there is the Midu Agashaam destroyer.
One of the biggest issues I had with the coversion to TNE was the new guidelines regarding the crew compliment of a ship. I know it was to compensate for the reduction of computer automation, but personally, I thought it went a little overboard, especially with regards to engineering.
The Midu Agashaam is the most glaring example of this. In S9, it lists the crew compliment of 33. In TNE, this jumps to 129!!!
So my main question is - if any of you tackled this issue, how did you do it? I have this amusing idea of a crew going into cold sleep when the collapse hits, then waking up in 1201 and suddenly not having enough crew to handle their own ship!
I guess the easiest change I would pursue (and I think I did at the time) is to simply reduce the crew calculation for engineering. Any others?
