20/4 = 5 and in combat, 5/2 rounds up to 3 mp.
THe same thing would happen if you had lifesupport but no bridge or crew quarters.

SJ, I think you hit the nail on the head. My ship was an Escort, and I modded the game so that Escorts and Frigates don't need any life support or crew quarters. (It's a long story  ) So you're saying that even though the ship doesn't NEED LS/CQ, it still takes penalties from not having them? Sounds like a bug to me... too bad a patch was just released so we probably won't see that fixed for a long time! (Now how'd you ever manage to guess what the problem was???)
