I don't know if this has ever been posted before, so here goes...

When figuring the Crew Requirements for FASA Starships, it seems that the formula from the Starship Construction Manual, 2nd Edition comes up short to what was posted in the Starship Recognition Guides.

I did some digging through my old gaming stuff and found to my surprise to have a copy of the Starship Construction Manual, 1st Edition!

So I combined the formulas from both manuals and it seemed to match what was posted for the starships in the Starship Recognition Guides.

So, without further ado, here it is...

Officer Compliment for Starships
Commanding Officer: 1
Executive Officer: 1
Chief Medical Officer: 1
