Do passengers on a ship count towards the max crew limit?

Max crew is one of those terms that we used in the very early pitch document for how ship specs work, and people just kind of gravitate towards it still. I would just ignore that number on every ship forever, if I were you.

Right now, it's looking more like when we get some cleanup on those kinds of numbers, we'd actually be more listing, hey, this is the max number of interactive stations that a ship would have, and then the number of people that could physically survive on that ship will actually be more determined by your life support. So don't expect to just cram 50 guys into your Constellation and not quickly suffocate.
