FT: fitting crew to hull

Even before the change in FB2 about the amount of hull boxes allocated to a
ship design I had already been favoring abut 25% devoted to hull (halfway
between weak and average). This puts the DCPs 5 apart.

I've come into some problems trying to fit the Damage Control Parties into
some hull box amounts if I don't follow some exact percentage. How would you
put 12 DCPs in a ship with 50 hull boxes? The first 2 DCPs 5 apart and the
rest 4 apart? Like so: OOOOXOOOOXOOO XOOOXOOOXOOOX OOOXOOOXOOOX OOOXOOOXOOOX

I think this is better than being cheesy with putting 2 DCPs at the end when
using hull sizes ending in 4 (i.e., 84, 124, 144, etc). (not that I won't name
anyone who does this...Steve...oops)

Why not just use the following:

0000x0000x000 x000x000x000x 000x000x000x 000x000x000x

nice, evenly spaced, and no doubling up.

oops! my suggestion was exactly what you suggested. duh!
