Sorry for the (possibly unnecessary) addition to your already crowded plate, but at the risk of sounding inexperienced or anal-retentive I feel like the fleet compliments need some clarification (or maybe I'm just not that bright).
I was wondering how crew members and vehicles aboard Personal/Faction Fleets are regulated. I know compliments are deemed disallowed in regards to starfighters on capital ships (unless each is counted toward the total allotment), and I'm guessing vehicles aboard such ships would probably adhere to the same guidelines, though I'm somewhat confused as:
“Transports and economic/merchant ships, armed or not, contribute towards a player's personal fleet allowance”
Here
AND
“Fleets are assumed to carry sufficient landing craft to land their forces.”
Here
Does this mean larger ships "drop off" their army, but additional transports such as the AA-9 Coruscant freighter are counted toward allowance?
Crew members are a different matter. It seems like this should be addressed since there are 55,575 troops in a standard configuration, and 46,785 crew members in a single Imperial I-class Star Destroyer. I assume the crew can't double as a ground force if they land, but this would confuse matters if some Generals/Commandos/Padawans, etc. also flew/commanded ships...such as having a "elite squadron" of NPC pilots or a copious amount of Delta-7Bs piloted by Jedi (though I'm not suggesting crew members mustn't "come with the ship" or be counted toward Troop Allowances, or "ace" pilots replace "commando" troops, etc.).
I sincerely apologize if this has been discussed, but I've been searching the archived threads and various rules for hours and hours without luck and I feel some clarification will prevent future inquiries and confusions. And there's no current scenario where the answer results in galaxy-wide repercussions, so feel free to categorize this as "low priority."
Thanks,

P.S. I'm really enjoying this RP, though I've only just started.
