You mean redshirts.

Depends on if they have a union.

Look. Ask yourself this:

I'll give you three options. You can man the anti-fighter flack turret on my battlecruiser, you can have your own frigate, or you can have a small fleet of cruisers. Which do you want? I want the second.

They you'll have to mine your own materials, craft all of your weapons and components, engines, and crew your ship by yourself. Your faction's military probably isn't just going to give you a ship for free.

I sort of liked the idea of teaming up with other players to pilot a single vessel.

No, do you build all your own stuff in Tekkit?

Anyways, this goes back to the fleet size sort of thing. I guess the optimal thing is 3-6 peeps per frigate.

[Chairman_Tiel]

1-3 for a frigate.

No, but I usually don't take enough to make a fully-functioning spacecraft.

1-3 for a frigate.

1 for like a very small frigate with mostly frontal mounted weapons and a few auto turrets. For a real warship, 3 should be about minimum. 1 captain, plus all his gunners and so on.

The largest possible ships should have 40 or so people manning them. A captain, a few other copilots, a bunch of gunners, maybe a guy on shields if we add something for them to do, a few people manning fighters, a few in charge of the carried frigates, etc.

Fighters should have 1 person on them, or else 0 people and using a basic swarm tactic that wouldn't be as effective.

The hell you say. That's, like, an entire server. A big one. There's no bloody way that's going to happen. There just aren't gonna be that many people around.

[Chairman_Tiel]

A true warship would be a Cruiser with 5 or so people on it.

I think the biggest ships should be able to feasibly operate with only 10 peeps. If Futurecraft becomes popular enough to the point where that's too low, it can always be modified in a patch.

I said biggest possible.

As in, absolute maximum. Think major server says we all want to serve in one giant mothership.

So if you take 3 fleet supercarriers and strap them together?

[Keon]

Then the engine gets mad at you and you get attacked by a thousand aye-aye mobs.

[joykler]

look that why i thought being in two places
that way a large vessel that only needs real people in a fight can jus go fly away with people in their cryo banks
and when they are in spot they wake them and look how many people show up

in the meanwhile people can start building their own ships
or populate the homeworld

[҉]

People aren't going to be in two places, Joykler. Sorry. Not gonna happen.
