I noticed that the interactive starship construction tool has some mS* items matching those mentioned in the Starship Recognition Manual, but I don't see the rules for those in the Starship Construction Manual v1.1 or in the NEW v1.2 base rules; is there a source for these items?
How does superstructure work for Class 0 ships? The construction tool seems to have trouble with the math there (NaN), and I can't find any written rules to explain it. I've been trying to design a shuttle, and even following the Skylark examples I'm not getting the same numbers. Several other systems seem to multiply or divide by Class, too...
How do crew and passengers work with shuttles? Crew still take up 2 CU, but passengers only take up 0.1CU if they just get a seat? If I turn a Skylark MK I into a space-bus, can I just add 70 more seats in the 7.6 CU remaining? (You know, for short trips. It doesn't need to be too comfy.)
I noticed the MK I is listed with 6 passengers, but the MK II with the same 6 seats lists 0 passengers. The tool counts all passengers as 2 CU, so I'm guessing we just don't mention them?
Another mathematical oddity (not Class 0 related) in the Class VI prison transport I designed, adding brig for 200 people really messes with the Luxury; my dirty rust bucket full of <strike>scum</strike> PCs thinks it's decadent... =]
