What about crews manned by little people? They need less volume. Now imagine PC's trying to invade a ship in battle armour and finds the corridors are narrow and the ceilings 4' high.

It isn't EXPLICITLY in the rules not do the rules EXPLICITLY say it isn't right. The only example is for 2 hulls. If there were an example for 3 hulls then it would be explicit one way or the other. I know of no official examples for more than 2 hulls.

Just think of real life. You have a mechanism for connecting two things together and then want to connect a third you need another connector between them. Look at the ports on your computer for example, you want to connect 1 item directly you need 1 port on the computer and 1 on the device...

You have to allocate 2% of each hull to the breakaway mechanisms. You also have to allocate that 2% for EACH of the breakaway hulls connected to a specific hull. Example a 1000 ton ship with 10 life boats of 20 tons each that are breakaway hulls has to allocate 20 tons of the main hull for...

I had the LBBs but never could get my gaming group to play it though I did play around with various elements including High Guard, character generation and trade. Over the last couple of years I've begun getting what books I can find "locally" for Mongoose 2nd (very hard to come by). My gaming...

I've only recently gotten a current CRB and due to other things haven't more than begun reading through it. I did get a chance to read through a 2016 CRB a year or 2 ago but it was a lot to remember from one reading.

What is CHB?

Which I haven't been able to acquire locally. Still seems that what is gathered is unrefined fuel requiring the fuel processor to make into refined. It isn't just filtered. I always had the impression that any hydrogen compound could be processed.

A filter that takes power? Seems odd, I'd expect it to need replacement frequently. My understanding is it could use any hydrogen compound to extract for fuel.

GM uses for escape pods: 1/ Use up PC money 2/ Reduce PC income by using up tonnage in non income generating ways. 3/ Provide a way for PCs to survive the destruction of their ship in combat without being obvious. 4/ Escape route for prisoners whether it be the PCs, NPCs that they need to...

Why would you need specialist gear? At most you would need to melt/vapourize them just like water ice as they are the same materials you scoop from gas giants for fuel.

Some people like confined spaces just as some can't tolerate them. I don't see this as a major ship category, more of an outlier. I've worked on them for 100, 200, 300 and 400 tons with a straight J-1 design that would compete with the Subsidized Merchant for runs that didn't need passengers...

You also said: When it is only 1 ton of barracks, no passengers at all.

You missed the point. It is a one man ship. No passengers, maximum cargo. The owner/operate lives in the single ton of barracks during flight. One thing I didn't mention is the fuel tank only includes fuel for J-1 but the other half is in a mountable 20 dton fuel tank so it can be operated...

Why won't a solo small freighter crewman (who is also owner/partner) put up with a barracks to increase their profits and decrease the cost of the ship/mortgage? I've designed a 200 ton Freighter with a 1 ton barracks taking efforts to minimize costs and maximize cargo. J2, M1, 124 tons of...
