Greetings,
I've got a question regarding the latest preview from the upcoming Rift Box, the Zarelinung class explorer. It truly is a fascinating ship, collectors and biosphere enables long endurance, and ample space devoted to common areas and gaming space ensures the crew won't break down during the journey.
The thing I don't quite understand though is that the recommended crew numbers 23, before adding scientists. The biosphere can support up to 48 people, and the scientific operations suite (whatever that is - guess we'll find out next wednesday

) supports up to 16 personnel. This adds up to 39 total crew. I don't see any virtual crew software, but the computer is powerful and the advanced science program might be able to substitute science personnel (another thing to find out on wednesday) but there are only 8 staterooms? Where are the rest of the crew supposed to sleep? I suppose the common areas could be used for sleeping as per the rulebook p.206 under basic passage... Perhaps this will turn out to be a non-issue when we get to see the full picture, but from the preview alone it looks a bit strange...
