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...

The first time I read that sentence, I read in mind "not to have the meth lab". Within micro seconds, my brain was saying, "but that's the most important part of the ship". Then the working part of my brain kicked in and I read that sentence correctly. 🙂
You, @VitesseLumiere, you're the submerged guy, right? Dwells in a submarine? Then, how come 100 of you fit on your benches? You have 100 benches or you take turns on 4 as well? Or maybe no one sleeps? Stay alert until the eyes start to bleed then are sent back to the surface to patch and be sent back in?
@PandaTar, yep. Fast attack subs - the small stealthy ones that do all the cool ops, but stay underwater for 6-7 months, and are very small - didn't seem much bigger to me than the old subs you see in movies. Have about 100 crew, but everyone hot-racks. Subs run on an 18 hour day instead of a 24 hour day. 6 hours for watch. 6 hours for maintenance. 6 hours for sleep, shower, training & qualifications. So, generally 2 to 3 people to a rack, switching out each 6 hours. And the racks are the size of MRI tubes. Just had a very long spinal MRI, so I can say that for sure.
If you're on a boomer (ballistic missile submarine), those things are like floating hotels (even bulkhead doors are 3 times larger) that only stay out 3 months at a time. I've been on one, but didn't get to tour the rack space and didn't think to ask my buddy about how they hot rack, so I don't know about those.
