"Fat Mac" - SSK Industries' .950 JDJ Rifle JD Jones’ .950 JDJ cartridge is a generally described as the largest sporting rifle cartridge ever produced, producing more energy than even the 4-bore cartridges that match it in bore diameter. Only three of these rifles were made, and the original loadin...

An interesting comparison would be drop tanks.

The key is double entry book keeping - don't pay for the same thing twice.

Maintenance tasks and repairs would be performed by drones controlled by virtual engineers.

Astrogation, at it's most basic, would be distilled into tape form.

Fuel skimmer module would be basically the tank, so free, and a fuel processor; fuel skimming itself dependent on the host's hull. Cargo module is basically free, modifying it for passenger use requires adding in fittings, so time and labour in addition; exception would be acceleration couches. ATV ...

Holzmann Drive.

There's that, and in MongoTraveller, demonstrated by the complete virtualization of the bridge. In my case with the Confederation Navy, it's trying to find an economic model to retain the bridge and it's manned complement. Now that I reflect on it, I don't recall an obligation to account for the cos...

Let's take the three megabux passenger module as basis. Fifty kay bux per tonne default equals one a half megabux for the module, that leaves another one a half megabux for the fittings, which one assumes is twenty four half tonne acceleration seats, which at thirty kay a piece equals to seven hundr...

A good yardstick is the default cost per tonne.

If a twenty foot four tonne module is listed at, say, a thousand Credite Imperiale, than it it's basically a standard container.

Quantity has a quality all its own.

There's less political capital involved if drones are shot down, than if the aircraft have human crews.

On the physical level, the aircraft are lighter if they don't need to accommodate for human crews, and more acrobatic.

That's when you go back to your ship, and see if the locker has a bigger gun.
