Why only 4 beds on the Tempest?
Like it says, why only 4 b3eds on the Tempest when you have a crew of 8? It was the same on the Normandy, never enough beds for all the crew. They can't all hot-bed it because the are always all awak...

Logically there are 4 main crew members for the ship:
Suvi
Kallo
Gil
Lexie
Can't go anywhere without a doctor really.
Anyone else is not planned for. Here's the thing though. Presumably the plan wouldn't have been that Ryder does everything by him/herself. So a few extra beds really would've been in order.
I think it would've made more sense to not have the med lab where it is but above in either Jaal or Cora's room really.

But I thought the pathfinder team much bigger - unless there's lots of implanted people running around as optional alternate crewmembers. Murphy beds would fill the gaps, but it's not like space is cramped and they couldn't fit in a bunk for everyone. This is a civilian operation - not a military warship.
(Sorry, I'm too lazy to look up their names)

Liam
Comm lady
Dead guy
PTSD guy
Wounded guy

...and then the ones for Tempest.
Harry or Lexi
Suvi
Kallo
Gil
The very first thing everyone does is stake out a bed of their own instead of sharing. Why wouldn't they plan for it?

Well, that's assuming they were all intended to go on the Tempest.
On top of that I'm not sure if it was intended for Alec Ryder to begin with. One question I always had is why have 1 Tempest and 4 Pathfinders?
I mean, as Ryder you basically do the job for all Pathfinders but I'm sure they didn't plan on 3 Arks needing to be rescued by the other Ark's Pathfinder. They must've planned at least on having 4 Pathfinders. So why only 1 Pathfinder ship?
there were several tempests, the scourge took out all but ryder's.
---edit
iirc, they were destroyed when the nexus made contact with said scourge cloud, though i guess they could have tried to use them for scouting and lost them to it just as easily.

Ryder has to bring *at least* two other implants along or you wouldn't have three for missions. Cora is *definitely* coming for theoretical SAM handoff.
I could be mistaken, but I thought I read in conversation there were more 'Tempests", but they somehow got destroyed.

Ahh, I certainly missed that bit of information. I guess with the tv on here, I do miss things here and there. But that does explain it. It just seemed from Kallo's descriptions that there was only one made but that was just an assumption of course. But yeah, conveniently all were destroyed except one. Check.
