Did you overlook the pay? Perhaps the sleeping/living space is small

we can use when the nobles are out of sight not to mention the GREAT food!

The tone of the most recent posts suggested that, e.g., the peasants would be put to death for befouling His Nibs' private bath (filled only with the purest Moran spring water, you know) with their sweaty peasant bodies.  Ditto touching the food.  Though I suppose that if we've descended to the level of silliness where the noble orders a full course meal, eats one croissant and commands the rest to be disposed of, the "table scraps" /would/ be quite sumptuous...

Some jobs/working conditions aren't worth any amount of pay, especially when the workers aren't held in bondage and have skills that would get them much better postings elsewhere.  This covers most starship crew.

Have you seen the sleeping quarters on subs or the ISS?

If we are to consider the level of accomodations available at TL 8 and circa -2500, may I ask whether the crew is also allowed a rum ration to keep their water potable, and sufficient citrus to ward off the scurvy?

Though I suppose the question is moot, as per your suggestion, I'm out.

As I said, I am only the artist in this case. For details of the crew and owners you must ask the author. He being a nice guy, I am thinking that everyone on the ship is happy.
