Thread Title : Flying Ships

Can someone clue me in on the crew size for a large Alphatian sky ship?  I'm sure I could find it in my books if I had time to dig through them, but they don't like when I do that at work.  I would totally appreciate it if someone could lend me a hand.  Oh, and if you know what that crew might earn per month I'd take that too. :D 

Thanks for the help!

Eric

From Champions of Mystara, an Alphatian man-of-war has between 100 and 200 sailors, and carries 200-400 marines.  There's no direct info on wages for Alphatian ship crews, but RC suggests 10 gp/month wages for both standard oceangoing-vessel sailors and for mercenary archers.  Up to you whether Alphatian skyship-crew would ask for similar wages, or ask for higher amounts.

(Also, note, that if you use Bruce Heard's revised economics notes from Known World Grimoire, wages go down by about a factor of ten or so.  Ship capabilities presumably do not.  No exact reference for wage levels, alas.)
