I have a "baseline" research starship with standard cabins for 18 people
(single for the captain and the senior researcher and double for the
rest). The ship is 100 tons and $16M. Then I downgraded from cabins to
bunks, reduced the locker space to match, and reduced the engine/power
and volume (i.e. structure/armor) through several iterations.
The "spartan" ship was 60 tons and $12.6M -- fewer cost savings because
the big ticket items from the sensor suite stayed the same.
The next step is the "comfort" version. I'm still looking for a catchy
name. Evyn hat noted that I might have too many CPOs (or equivalent lab
assistants). If I downgrade the cook and some of the lab assistants to
"enlisted" equivalents, that mostly saves mess spaces and stowage. Both
CPOs and enlisted have bunks, but CPOs get better lounges and more dress
uniforms.
Three quadruple bunkrooms, each a "suite" of two normal cabins rather
than bunks. Three double luxury cabins and three single luxury cabins. A
10-man mess/bar. About 600 cf of personal stowage. The total would be
10,600 cf. How does that sound for 18-20 people?
Regards,
Onno
