Improvement to Existing Feature

Brief Description of Enhancement *

Due to their length, Large Vessel refits can have personnel leave in the middle of the refit (e.g., pregnancy and maternal leave) and consequently cause the refit to incur the undercrewed penalty, as there is currently no way to force assignment of other personnel to fully crew it again. I'm not sure if pregnancy is the only time this comes up, but retirement, accidents, etc. could potentially also be issues.

Use Cases or Rationale

UX issue, while the pregnancy concern can be avoided by setting campaign options or personnel flag that's a lot of micromanagement. Likewise, GM refitting after the fact seems like a cheap solution. The ideal solution would be to allow for crew management even during a refit, but locking in personnel would also work.
