My guess on why the ship get less efficient when crew modules are added is the problem with giving the new crewmembers something to do while on the ship. Previously with your efficient crew, everyone had something to do every day. If your Captain has a poor Intimidation, he will have problems keeping the crew efficient, even if they have great morale. You will have crew loitering around, and when people loiter around, they eat and drink more than usual. That would make the fuel efficiency go down. An intimidating Captain would have them doing drills repeatedly and swabbing the decks all day long, anything to keep them from goofing around.
