A viewer argues that droid automation should reduce the published crews of these ships dramatically and that large troop complements belong primarily on assault ships. Roughly fifty-eight thousand people carrying two years of food create an immense support burden. Provisioning that population consumes capacity before water, life support, medical needs, spares, and routine maintenance are counted. Automation can reduce recurring personnel demand, but only if designers deliberately assign work between humans and machines. Spectacular ship size becomes a life-cycle question about whether the fleet can sustain the people it sends into service.

Crew size becomes a two-year logistics problem
A proposed droid-driven crew reduction is paired with the immense provisioning burden of sustaining tens of thousands of people for years.
