Figure that the average number of crew. Needed is 2-3. Most people don’t have more than the aurora/mustang. Those that do bring up the average with their most used ship.i figure we need 50k with all the new people not having starter ships at all.
TEST has 17,678 members... but how many Crew will we need?

- Start date
I think you underestimate the volume of Kraken’s we acquired in a mad frenzy.
I think you meant Pulp Fiction. Know your Tarantino.
Good spot - I can't say the name of that film as I saw the Mervin scene when I was a small child and it game me nightmares for days hahahaI think you meant Pulp Fiction. Know your Tarantino.
I wonder how easy it would be to get a fleet to nope out with a good sized fleet of Krakens warping in with only enough crew to pilot the ship and the decks piled with their ships.
We don’t need proof. Do not show us. We believe you.
I don't believe him. @Blind Owl has too many feathers for a tattoo.
Yeah, but with that Kraken into account, if each of us hire 8 NPCs, there will be a ton of NPCs... xDYeah, but with all that taken into account, how many crew would you need, max crew, to take your own personal fleet out. Say for instance TEST HQ was under seige by ADI and you had to move every single one of your ships at once... How many crew would you need min/max?
Thats a good point: If the balance in the 'Verse is 10% Players to 90% NPC, are the NPC crew we have taken from that 90%?
Basically, if every player has hired 9 NPC then that's the total population accounted for and places like cities are going to be ghost towns because every NPC has taken to the stars.
If every player hires 10 NPC we're going to run into a population problem as we'll less 10% of the required number... What are your benefits packages going to be like as those NPCs'll be able to pick and choose which jobs they accept with whom.
"Well, yes I would join your Connie crew as Merlin pilot, the dental plan is very attractive, but this 890j captain has just asked me to pilot the 300 series craft he has hanging around not doing much and... well, there is a pool on the 890j and the 300 has a Quantum Drive. I'm not stupid or suicidal so why don't you let one of your meatbag friends fly that snub instead, eh?"

Good point about all NPCs being hired!
With that 90% NPC ration maybe CIG is only talking into account star citizens, so would be there also all the "non star citizens".
