CT Consolidated errata and CT B05 High Guard Crew size Christopher Sean Hilton 04 Jul 2026 18:33 UTC

**Q:** what are the rules governing the Bridge Crew sizes of the CT B05 ships?

When I look at the Consolidated errata, I see designs for:

* the Kinunir, 1250 dtons -- bridge 25 tons, crew 12;
* the Azanti High Lightning, 60000 dtons -- bridge 300 tons, crew 30;
* the Battle cruiser Regal, 75000 dtons -- bridge 300 tons, crew 42.

The Azanti High Lightning packs 7 different types of weapons where the Regal packs 9. Are
those twelve extra bridge personel on the Regal there to support the two additional weapon
types?

## Details

I've never been able to get the crew size right in my CT B05 High Guard ship designs.I
hasn't mattered until now because most of the ships I was building were Book 2 sized and I
could use the Book 2 rules. I recently attended a talk on containerized cargo and I want to
design some really large, (k) * 10,000 dTon, freighters. These ships would both for military
and civilian use. I've read through the errata which redefines the Book 5 crew ruls but as I
see it, you need a minimum of 11 people on the bridge crew to satisfy the section
requirements.

Thanks for helping me to understand this better.
