Default Crew Experance

I think that MM should should add crew complment and a formula to mix mean crew experance

For example if a ship has a complment of 150 with a experance of 2% and lost half then restocked at a planent with a exerance of 0% then the ship experance would be 1%

Default Re: Crew Experance

Or a less-detailed Version:

Experience could be reduced when crew quarters, bridge, life support, or MC is damaged, including when refitting.

I'd disagree with the 'while retrofitting' part. The crew can go down to the planet (shore leave) while the ships being refurbished. In deep space, however, there's no such luxury....

Retrofitting crew quarters ? Ok, they can be upgraded to MCs, and if the crew hacks all of their experience into the MC before they are jettisoned into space, at least something will be lost: e.g. instinct, motivation... A MC that is upgraded to a higher level could do a complete backup of the memory.

yeah, but unskilled crew members would be brought up to par alot faster if they were on a ship where they had veterans to learn from. mostly because the veterans would not tollerate them assing off, and they would love to show everyone the 'right' way of doing things.

Hm.. Looks like another "like Starfire" thread.

(No, I don't see that as a bad thing either.)
