Well, I didn't mean for the subject to rhyme, but ahh well
Just a quick question for those RN players more experienced than I (the majority, I'd imagine). I'm right around level 20 and thus far I absolutely love the Q. I decided to switch over from KM when I was level 30 or so, and I can tell a pretty large difference in gun power. However, I'm faced with a pretty severe problem...
Most posters around here advise that one stick with the trusty ol' crew until the Sirius becomes available at level 34, but I'm confused on one point. As it is now, I've got a BO, two gunners, and two support on my ship, all with full recruits (might as well get the experts early). The crew that I have in my support slots are completely bare-bones, with a grand total of 5 or 6 sailors on them. Even with this crew, which I consider pretty small...I can only fit about an inch of belt armor and moderate amounts of bulge and bulkhead, without any deck at all. I've played around with it a bit, but I always end up just a few tons shy of max discplacement, and this is at level 20. So, basically...how does one "Armor Whore" as one should? How does one balance out crews? I'd imagine that by the time I actually get into the high 20's and low 30's, when I'll be thinking about moving over to the CL's, I'll only be able to fit a few full sailors in with absolutely no armor whatsoever.
Anyway, to summarize - what should I do? Is it worth it to pack in every sailor at the cost of armor, or should I only run my BO and gunners at full recruit? At what point should I change ships?
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated! =)
