Yea I found if you use Barracks for ship crews you go a long way in fixing this problem especially with ships under 2000 dt which often can run military crew levels.

Barracks need to be changed to strictly be for military vessels and available Crew and marines both. And the ideal that marines or crew housed in barracks can’t do anything is ludicrous barracks style sleeping arrangements are the standard for E-4 and lower sailors. There are other options...

Except in cases like this where the rules counter dictates themselves than you make a decision but it’s also good to let mongoose know so they can fix it. The problem with RAW is that sometimes they counter dictate themselves, they don’t cover something, or your players break them. There...

Somebody tap AnotherDilbert the needle is stuck, just kidding. But seriously AD you keep posting the same pic of the rule page but you haven’t given us a single real counter argument. Just because RAW says something doesn’t mean it’s right or makes sense. I’ve pointed out real world examples...

Yup right there in the Star Marines skill table Electronics and Gunnery.

“On the Ship (Berthing): For many junior, single sailors (E-4 and below), their ship is their barracks, even when in homeport. Space is Limited: Expect a small bunk (rack) and a locker; storage for luggage is minimal. "Rack": A narrow bunk, often with a top or bottom option, offering limited...

Than remove Star Marines from the game because they are not passengers but use barracks

No ones talked about Hot bunking that’s misleading

Not really marines do damage control run turrets and other weapons systems. Most naval vessels have a marine component even if they are not an invasion craft and no one on a military vessel does nothing. Like I’ve said before I have friends that are or were in the navy including a friend that...

Actually no barracks are listed as 1dt per person in HG 2022

I’d say the difference as i pointed out in my original posts is military vs civilian, the scouts are a civilian organization yea they have uniforms and some military like aspect but they would be closer to police or firefighters not military. It takes discipline to live in tight barracks type...

You do anyway what do you think “Common Areas” are

Marines do damage control, operate Turrets and other weapon systems. So it is okay for Marines who do other things on a ship to be in barracks but sailors who are also military and the same rank as these grunts get to ignore rank and get privileged housing. You’re spitting hairs and apparently...

I think this is more of the legacy we can’t seem to get away from. Mongoose seem perfectly willing to claim that things will change under them they even give the tools but they in many ways are unwilling to actually change things. It’s weird they will do things like singularity which at best...

Other military personnel is crew on a naval ship.
