I think you should be able to cycle seasoned combat crews with rookies for Patrol duty.
And here it starts getting needlessly complicated.

Hm, might make a suggestion about that.
Reduce the crew grade according to the amount of missing crew, i.e. if 50% crew are missing, crew grade is -50%
Of course, usually crew is missing due to destroyed machinery. That engine, that just blew up doesn´t need crew to keep looking after it, so crew requirement on a damaged ship would probably be less than on an intact one.
As crew seems to be replaced when a ship is repaird in the dock, the missing crew wouldn´t be much of a problem during or immediately after a fight. The problem starts when parts are repaired with on-board parts.
Still, for simplicitys sake, I´d go for a streight modifier.

They are far more likely to shoot it down.

And as such, 4 guys with 100% bonus of a 500 crew are definitely the way to go.
Of course, if your enemy manages to land a breeching pod, those 4 guys will have a REALY hard time fighting the boarderes off

So that half dozen tought elite dudes that survived the attack better stay alone, because they do the job better.

I presume that they are not repairded with the system, how little crew can a ship have before in will go uncontrolled??
