I've been reflecting on boarding and ships recently, and I'm curious—do any vessels accommodate 10, 20, or even 100 soldiers? If a ship has just four crew members, getting on board would be tough. The design of large ships and constellations suggests they can hold many people, but the RSI site claims only five can fit.
There could be a significant variation between managing over ten individuals versus overseeing a larger team of ten or more. I've heard Chris Roberts discuss taxi-style services, suggesting there might actually be many more people aboard than those operating the vessel.
Absolutely, understanding the distinction between crew and passengers is important.
I think specialized cargo vessels can accommodate more than 100 individuals. I understand that capital ships available for purchase typically support large crews.
You were correct—it was acquired during one of the shows I believe. The Redeemer crew has five members and can accommodate up to six people on board.
Unknown what restrictions they might set, but checking the interior reveals six seats, including pilot and gunner positions, plus several areas for crew members. I’d expect around seven people total—six passengers plus the pilot—to be on board, possibly more. There’s also an Avenger with one crew member but four pods that could hold prisoners or travelers. Crew refers to the number of people managing operations at once, separate from passenger capacity.
