Retrofitting crew quarters ? Ok, they can be upgraded to MCs, and if the crew hacks all of their experience into the MC before they are jettisoned into space, at least something will be lost: e.g. instinct, motivation... A MC that is upgraded to a higher level could do a complete backup of the memory.
