Lost rookies twice and had to DC from vet loss once since the event.  Seems about normal to me - actually less than what I have experienced in the past.  So from my point of view - crew loss went down.  But if crew loss goes up after every event, then shouldn't we be at the mega crew loss stage after this many events?  All anecdotal

But of course you could be right as well.  Out of curiosity I started noting each time I lost crew and then I realized unlike vet conversion attempts or item drop rates - crew death rate would be nearly impossible to do.  Some games you get hit, others you don't or not as much.  My lack of crew death may have been due to getting torped a lot or not getting hit at all.  At the same time yours might have been the result of having a string of bad luck or taking more hits than usual.  Doesn't seem like there's a good way to measure this one.
