Okay. So, I'm running a Cyberpirates campaign a forum over, in SR4A.

I do not have cyberpirates available, as it's on a wounded computer, but I remember vaguely rules for ship crews.

Here's the situation - our crew (7 people, with 8 characters (the Mage is a former PC turned NPC)) has just captured an Aztlan freighter, with crew. Their J wants the enemy crew only secured - not killed.

They also have a yacht (stat base being the H&W Classique III from Arsenal) as their base ship.

Questions the crew just asked me, and that I'm wondering myself:

1. How big of a prize crew would they need for the freighter?

2. Would it, realistically, be possible to slave one of the ships to the other, such that they sail in formation and you don't have to try to crew two ships with 7 people?

3. Can ships in the 2070s run unmanned for short periods?

not sure if there is something in errata about ships but for SR I would expect that cargo ships would have no crew at sea. If anyone was onboard I would think it would be security.
