ship crews MT-TNE

TML message #7859From bundle 626

Greetings  again,  a  few ideas concerning  the  ship  crew  size
differences, follow.
	Could  it  be that the ship crews in  TNE  represent  the
fact  that  crewbeings can only do a 8 to 12 hour shift  on  duty
without fatige becoming a problem?
	Anouther  thing i noticed whilst comparing the  differnce
is  that the bigger the ship the larger the crew gap  is ,  after
discusionb  with  M Archer we propose that it may be due  to  the
difference  in  powerplant sizes, as the TNE plants  seem  to  be
bigger,  so  a scout ship gains 1 person and a cruser gains  (  i
think  sorry my memory fails here) 8 or 10 crew coupled with  the
above point this would seem resonable.

On  a differnt track onece i get confermation of the gun stats  i
posted  on the 31may/ 1 june ( again memory lapse) apper  i  vill
start  posting  the rest, Thank you to all who have droped  me  a
line  and the 2300 guns will be on there way soon (i hope).

	Not   wanting   to  draw  flames ,  Mearly   to   provoke
discussion,

Lawrence Bryant
