Crew numbers - gunners

[Chas]

Just noting we're still missing anything that represents the reduced numbers of gunners that were needed per barrage as in the 1st Ed rules. Right now at 2 gunners/turret for military capital ships this stateroom weight is really getting up there for the bigger ships.

Was looking at even the smaller ships and say 200 tons of staterooms for a 5000 ton craft just for gunners for the turrets. It's really biting.

Does anyone see this as a massive issue? Does it not naturally push larger ships onto Bays? Or computerised gunners?

You want gunners. Also, warships are meant to be compromises.
