just because the ship is small doesn't mean the crew has to be.
If I remember correctly, supposedly the TEC scout actually has a crew size of 75. But who would ever have guessed...? I always thought of it as a stupid little 2 person craft. However, for some reason, the voices are always proportional to the relative sizes. I guess the only reason would be that the size of the ship got to the captain's head. But seriously. He's the freaking captain of the ship! While I can understand a difference in their self-confidence, (or arrogance, putting it more appropriately) he's no less a high ranking officer in the military.
