Modern Nuclear subs recycle their air, that's how they manage to stay underwater for so long, FS2 ships probably use an advanced version of the same technology. As for 10,000 people, the Orion serves no single purpose, it is Carrier, Heavy Cruiser and Troop Ship all rolled into one, so I wouldn't be surprised to find about 60% of that crew is pilots and GTVA Troops. Not to mention the Emergency docking bay, so that guy from command can always be in the area, no matter which part of the Galaxy you are in

I also recall Cmdr Snipes saying something about fitting bombs to the fighters Fusion Reactors

Flipside
