Hello Johannes, should it be space, mass, or both? Say I have a cabin (1 ton, 500 cf) and life support for three people (0.3 tons, 15 cf at TL10). Fusion power is trivial. This cabin could hold one person, with single occupancy and 200% redundant life support, two persons with 50% redundant life support, or hot-bunk three with no reserve life support. Typical cargo is rated at 20 lbs. per cf, so 515 cf could hold 5.15 tons. And most of my vehicles have empty volume -- I didn't specify if those extra corridors are in the passenger areas or the engine rooms.
