You're not getting admonitions.At Mods
Since all I'm getting is admonitions to think about it another way rather than an answer to the question, please delete the topic. It does nothing to help my understanding of what the designers intended to describe in the stats.
You're getting an explanation.
What the designers intended is pretty simple if you just ignore the wording of "passenger seats" in the description of cargo space, it's pretty clear.
Each vehicle has a crew value that represents how many people are needed to operate the vehicle plus how many people can fit comfortably within the vehicle.
Says nothing about seats. If there is no passenger value (ie. the +X value), the vehicle cannot fit anyone inside and anyone beyond the crew has to ride on the outside of the vehicle (ex. on the hull of a tank).
You can squeeze more people into the vehicle than listed, but that will take up the available cargo space.
So, in essence, a civilian light truck has a crew of 1 (the driver). It has a cargo space of 850 if no passengers are carried. It can carry 14 passengers comfortably in the cabin and bed of the truck without it being too cramped, still leaving enough space to put 500 cargo in there too. Putting more passengers into the vehicle will reduce cargo space a lot more (50 per passenger), due to it being cramped. So, theoretically, you can squeeze in 10 more people in the light truck, but it will not be comfortable in any way.
You're not being admonished, I'm trying to explain how the designers intended the stats to work, but you seem to simply be stubborn and refusing to see it that way because you're hung up on the word "seats" in one single sentence.
