I made a Mark 2 of this ship with much better defence, more thrust & less crew. Check it out here:

Ah, so to upgrade to a design that has less crew than the previous ship, then you first have to transfer crew to another vessel, right? Good to know.

If gravy took a moment to read he would realize the ship gravy currently has is more crew than this ship has bunks for.

Soudns like you're just missing key components or locked blueprints. Good luck.

Oh ok. Perhaps blueprint mode is why the "Make Is So" is disabled. I will see how to get around that if you can. Thanks.

@YunggGravy: You're looking at the SUGGESTED crew size, not the actual crew size. In general you can ignore suggested crew size, because the game doesn't know how the builder plans to use and optimize the crew tasks. Often it is possible to create designs that run smoothly with half the suggested crew size.

That is odd because my screenshot clearly shows that the design is invalid and the crew required is 268. Do any game settings affect the ratio? I changed mine to standard and nothing changed.

@YunggGravy: 268?? No it should be 228. Updated the figure.

@Kleytenlive: Yes, but I don't know how to do it consistenly. The game is wonky in that regard. I know you can paste it in creative and it will have the right assignments and you can take a screenshot to replicate in career. Maybe you could also try making an empty grid in career and use the option "paste and replace" it there.

is it possible to import a wrkshop ship with the quarters for the crew assigned to the right crew? i can load the crew roles that you have on the ship but all beds are blue "operator"

Crew requirements are 268. Busted design.
