I think I am missing something - or else have found a bug. I designed the following ship:
Girraween class Recon Shuttle 495 tons 7 Crew 103.6 BP TCS 9.9 TH 28 EM 0
2828 km/s Armour 1-5 Shields 0-0 Sensors 1/1/0/0 Damage Control Rating 0 PPV 0
Maint Life 0 Years MSP 0 AFR 99% IFR 1.4% 1YR 45 5YR 673 Max Repair 72 MSP
Intended Deployment Time: 0.5 months Spare Berths 5
Waadlex M14 EP NP Jet Engine (2) Power 14 Fuel Use 320.86% Signature 14 Exp 17%
Fuel Capacity 50 000 Litres Range 5.7 billion km (23 days at full power)
Anti Ship Active Sensor 4.000t 38.63mkm (1) GPS 5760 Range 38.6m km Resolution 80
This design is classed as a Fighter for production, combat and maintenance purposes
So far, so good. Build the first one and got this:
Girraween class Recon Shuttle 495 tons 4 Crew 103.6 BP TCS 9.9 TH 28 EM 0
2828 km/s Armour 1-5 Shields 0-0 Sensors 1/1/0/0 Damage Control 1 PPV 0

Whilest there are still 12 possible seats only 4 of the planned 7 crew were used. Anybody an idea, why?
