This section is about the crew quarters you can find aboard the Revelation and the amount of crew this ship can handle. The quarters are exclusively reserved for officers and the pilots for the flying vessels.
In my head these guys need to be fully awake to be on hand as soon as you need them, where as the groundforces and extra gunners can be held in cryo sleep until they are needed.
Their job of running around and shooting at stuff is much less demanding than piloting a spaceship through the endless void.

That is why basically all of the cryo pods on board the Revelation can be used to transport extra troops. The cryo pods are located in the medical area just below the main hangar. while the quarters for the active flight crew are all located in the rear section of the ship.

This ship has room for 110 active flight crew and 480 soldiers, for a total amount of 590 crew members.

Flight Crew
-------------
The captains quarters are located close to the bridge in the rear superstructure. It is a nice big room with a desk, kitchen, and some other creature comforts.

The Revelation in my mind also has a general on board to lead the groud operations, while the captain coordinates the space forces. The generals quarters are located opposite of the captains quarters in the rear superstructure and are of the same interior design.

On the first level of the crew quarters are quarters for two officers. These are smaller than the captains and generals quarters, but are still single bed cabins for an extra amount of privacy. The officers can be for communication, flight operators or whatever you want.

Also on the first level are two single cabins for the shuttle pilots. These are single cabins, because it is possible that there will be shuttles landing and staying while some diplomats of other factions are on the ship and you don't want to mix their pilots with your own in one room.

There are also four cabins for four drone controllers each on this level. This is the first half of the controllers you need for the 32 drones that the Revelation carries.

The second 16 drone controllers are accommodated one deck lower, on the second level of the crew quarters.
Also on this second level are the rooms for the dropship pilots. these are four single rooms again, because a dropship pilot has a larger responsibility. He is not only piloting his ship, but also commanding two gunners, and carries up to 16 dudes with guns at the same time.

The third level of the crew quarters houses the four corvette captains in single rooms. They are commanding the smallest of the big ships in the fleet and are thus more important than fighter pilots.

The fighter pilots are crammed into four-bed rooms like the drone controllers. The first four of these cabins are located on the third level of the crew quarters.

The other 12 cabins needed for the fighter pilots take up the entirety of the fourth level of the crew quarters.

All this makes for a total active flight crew of 110 Space Engineers.

Representatives Quarters
-------------

Apart from the flight crew quarters, there are also two large luxurios quarters at the front of the ship. These are located close to the shuttle hangar and are reserved for foreign diplomats to stay on the ship, in case the peace negotiations take a while.

The conference rooms are located in the rear superstructure, which means the diplomats must walk the entire length of the main hallway to get to them. During this walk they have time to be impressed by the sheer size of the Revelation, see the main hangar for an example of the Revelations military power and to maybe change their minds about resisting it.

Soldiers & Gunners
-------------

The Revelation is classed, arbitrarily by myself, as an assault carrier. This means that it has the capabilities to invade planets on a large scale. What is mindlessly running around on planets? Correct, it's them pesky humans.
To make these humans change their minds about who has control over the planet, you need humans too.

The more you have, the better. So while the old Revelation carried the persuasion power of 72 people with shooty sticks, there was a lot of room for improvement.

The new Revelation now has the capacity for 480 dudes that run around, telling everyone with their guns, that you are the bestest.

Of these 480 spaces a few might need to be used for other ship crew like mechanics and stuff. Also some of these soldiers can be used on the Revelation itself as gunners for the flak turrets. Others are supposed to be gunners of the gunships or drivers for the ground vehicles.

But even after all that, you still end up with literally more than a metric ton of guys you can send down to the surface.

I think thats it for the crew.
