Yes. Once you get a few more posts under your belt, it's removed automatically.

Aim for a deployment time that fits how a vessel will be used, perhaps 6 months for a standard warship that will spend most of it's time at a planet with maintenance facilities, 6 months would give you enough time to send the ship several systems away for an offensive, or for prolonged training exercises, for vessels on jump point defence duty or which are defending a system far away from a populated world you might pick a year or more deployment time.
A vessel resets it's deployment time by spending time at a populated colony, basically shore leave or recreation for the crew.
In regards to your image posting problem, as a new member you're restricted from posting images or links for your first couple of posts, it's a spambot prevention thing, I'm sure one of the forum admins will fix that link http://aurora2.pentarch.org/index.php/topic,4819.0.html up for you .

I'm new to this game, just picked it up and have done the basic preliminary reading on the forums and wiki, just getting down to business with the game itself now. I've decided to start designing some ships. My first basic question is this: after reading this post:
hxxp: aurora2. pentarch. org/index. php/topic,4819. 0. html
I am rather confused on the concept of Deployment Time. As I understand it, all it does is increase the number of required crew/accomodation - so why shouldn't I just make it as small as possible? I feel like I am missing some part of the equation here.

Fleet Training
Fleet Training Points are always modified by Crew Morale when any action involving fleet training takes place. For example, a ship with a 60% fleet training rating and 80% crew morale would act as if it has a 48% fleet training rating (60% x 80%). Fleet training affects how quickly ships will respond to new movement and firing orders when hostile ships are present.
Crew Grade
Any action that uses crew grade as a modifier will also be affected by low morale. This includes weapon accuracy, maintenance failures and transit delays. The current crew grade modifier is determined by the following formula:
Crew Grade Modifier = 1 + (Round Down ( Square Root ( Ship Grade Points) - 10) / 100)
So for 100 grade points the crew grade modifier = 1.00. For 500 grade points, the crew grade modifier = 1.1236.
This final modifier is multiplied by the crew morale. So with 80% morale and 500 grade points the final modifier would be 0.8 x 1.1236 = 0.8989
This is applied as a straightforward modifier to weapons fire. For maintenance failures the chance of failure is multiplied by (2 - Crew Grade Modifier), which means a modifier greater than 1 results in less failures than would normally be expected. For modifier less than 1, there will be more maintenance failures than normal. For transit delays, the length of the delay is multiplied by (2 - Crew Grade Modifier).
Surveying
The rate at which a ship generates geological or gravitational survey points is modified by morale
As most of the above effects are combat or maintenance-related, with the exceptions of surveying and transit delay, commercial shipping is unlikely to suffer much of a penalty from crew morale. Therefore, to qualify for commercial status, a class design must include crew quarters for at least a three month deployment duration.
So, you usually can't set the deployment time to nearly zero. Generally, my deployment times look something like that:
- Fighters: As short as possible, because at 0.1months and 0.01 months the needed crew is decreased further (no guarantee for the exact numbers)
- Survey ships: As long as possible, usually about 4-5 years
- Warships: Depending on their deployment usually about half a year.
