In the category 'who cares!' I have the following question for u (it may have been asked before but theres so many threads in this forum, I cannot possibly check them all):
The stinger has 10 crew. That means it cannot have an equal number of zoqs, fots and piks on board. I think its most likely theres 3 sets of zoq-fot-pik's + 1 extra creature. Does the ship have 1 extra zoq, 1 extra fot or 1 extra pik? Or are the zoqs, fots and piks equal in their capabilities and completely exchangable and thus have a completely random crew composition? That would mean u could encounter a ship manned by only Fots!

I'm sure they're all equal in skills somehow...
But ya, someone else asked this before, but the question was slightly different. It would be a nice question to ask Toys For Bob...

Wow, wacky. There must be something about the Stinger's design that increases its enemy's weapon lethality threefold, then; what a crappy design!
If we follow that logic, does this mean there are actually 80 Androsynth aboard every Guardian? 36 humans in every Cruiser (separated into exactly equal numbers of males and females)? Of course, the alternative is that there really is at least one "odd man out" aboard every fully crewed Stinger.
My personal take is that the only thing guaranteed about the Stinger's crew composition is that it includes a minimum of one of each subrace: The brown guy to steer, the green one to man the gunner's station, and the blue one for the tonguing (Yeah! The tonguing's the best part!). The rest of the crew are manning support stations, and could be of any of the 3 subraces. What happens if there are less than 3 crew left on board? Er... Well, what do I know, anyway?

...With the computer doing the actual flying and captaining, and the ZFP just along for the ride.

The Androsynth are not the only ones with multiple crew members in the captain's pic. As mentioned, the hunams have got two (one lady and one gent; as I said before, does this mean the entire crew is paired up with someone of the opposite gender?), and there are two Spathi in their captain pic as well. I'm fairly certain this was done just for flavor (or maybe they couldn't come up with enough simple animations for only one member of those races back in SC1), and so I'm going to just chalk the ZFP pic up to the same idea as well.
