Crew systems maintenance reduction overrides the star marine barracks.

This is WAD. Bonuses from the same component type generally do not stack. Notable exceptions are shield components.

So the logical error/bug introduced by classifying the star marine barracks in the same component family as crew systems is working as designed?

Every design with a star marine barracks will also have crew systems of some description, given that is a mandatory component. The maintenance reduction from the star marine barracks will be overridden by the crew system, always.

Given that overriding is Working As Designed, why convolute the issue and confuse the player by including it on the star marine barracks component in the first place?
