What to do if Flight Crew Berths are not sufficient?

[hubgbf]

Aurora automatically assigns Flight Crew Berths at a rate of 20 per Hanger Bay.

But what if I need more than that?

Hi,

While designing my first carrier I noticed that boat bay and hangar deck both generated a 20 flight crew berth.
If you need more flight crew berth, try changing hangar deck with boat bay. It is more expansive, but you can increase your number of flight crew berth.

Hope it helps.

I%u2019m not sure that%u2019s entirely accurate.  I have 100 ton fighters with .1 deployment time, and they take two crew, even though any ship with an engine, a weapon, and a fire control should require 3 crew even with very small components.

I have designed 500 ton, engineless, missile defense stations before with zero crew. Even with something like 30x box launchers, a MFC, and a set of passive and active sensors, these stations still had zero crew. I deleted the DB file but I might try and recreate these again soon.

EDIT: See missile defense station below:

Crew are determined by the components.

Crew berthing is determined by the deployment. 

That is to say, the number and size of quarters you require for a craft is determined by deployment.  Since the quarters do not add beds, rather, just crew tonnage, and deployment scales crew tonnage, deployment will change the tonnage of your ship, not its crew count.

Hi,

the subject was flight crew berth, not crew berth.
I omit a flight at one point and I have now corrected it.

In C# you don't need to worry about providing crew space for parasites.  Hangars automatically provide enough crew space, which is to say that the hangar has a built in crew space requirement and it is defined as being enough for all docked parasites regardless of how many crew the parasites actually have.

In the first post, blue emu said that the default value was not enough for his designs.

Under VB rules it wouldn't have been, but the rules have changed in C#.
