Hello Eric, I don't think so. 1,000 cf for a cabin and a 'slice' of the mess and galley are merely "reasonable" for a modern ship, not true luxury. (There are some 2,200 cf of empty space per person as well, but that isn't all in the quarters.) > > 120,000-Gallon Bulk Liquid Container v1.0 (TL13) > > Have you considered Self-Sealing on the tanks (p. 88) or the body? > > that would make a lot of business sense against collisions, stray > meterorites, and combat damage.

When it comes to loading accidents, I'm not so sure I'd want to mix my liquid cargo with the sealant glop. I'm thinking of large gleaming tanks of orange juice or olive oil, not just crude oil or lubricants. But most important, the container already takes a 4% bite out of the payload capacity. Self-sealing tanks would make it 7%. Regards, Onno _______________________________________________ GurpsNet-L mailing list <[email protected]> http://mail.sjgames.com/mailman/listinfo/gurpsnet-l
