Corporate CEO says what?!?

Ah. In that case (just to make things clear) I'd recommend adding the "corridors and such" squares to the image - say, 2 squares wide along the 6-square length entry side. But that's just personal preference, really.

Those look like two four-ton staterooms (standard size) rather than six-ton (high size). And the luxury stateroom appears to only have 8 tons showing on the map. So it looks like the entire suite is about 6 tons short on the map (should cover 60 squares to have a total of 30 tons, instead covers...

In all cases, I believe the correct phrasing should be "Her amenities could not possibly have been overstated." As the quote stands, its literal meaning is that the amenities are so rock-bottom that going lower is not possible, and context indicates you mean the polar opposite of that...

Well, the World Builder's Handbook has rules for calculating the annual shipbuilding capability of planet, and the various qualification criteria for the different starports set thresholds for shipyard size to qualify as a certain starport classification.

Oh, I hope so! Hopefully, also including some (greatly!) expanded information on industry and related topics - give us some meat on how refineries, smelters, commercial zones, and manufacturing plants work. In particular, we know what their outputs are, but what inputs do production facilities...

...Which, ironically enough, is derived from 'second', 'parsec' is a shortening of 'parallax of one arc-second'. It's just that that particular usage refers to seconds of angle, not seconds of time. Not a distinction that an education in Cinematography would exactly prepare one for...

Different horses for different courses. In my personal experience, though, the majority of players I've had experience with have at least been somewhat interested in the ship design rules.

I use the cube root (rather than the square root) because the relationship between diameter and volume (and thus mass) is a cubic one. To double the diameter (and the 100D limit), the volume of the stellar object would increase by a factor of 8, assuming the density is held constant. (Obviously...

I would staff it based on similar criteria to residential housing. Lower status commercial districts would have (roughly) 1 staffer per 2 dT of commercial zone, Medium status would mean 1 staffer per 4 dT, High class would be 1 staffer per 6 dT, and Luxury shops would have 1 staffer per 10 dT...

Personally, for a quick answer about the jump shadow of stellar-scale or more massive object, I use: 0.93 * (cube root of the object's mass in solar units) AU. It's a quick approximation which gives a workable answer. Probably could be refined further, but the MOARN principle applies here. If...

Yeah, but it always seemed it was being touted for sharpening razor blades...

Page 21, "These visions are categorised by potential location and checked against astrological scans of the Coreward Corridor to validate where and when the events might occur." I believe astrological should be astronomical, unless the Zhodani are fans of Chani Nicholas... Edit: and another two...

Also bear in mind that Steward is the primary (though clearly not the only) skill of a butler. And before anyone starts to disparage the idea of a butler being important to a storyline, I want to bring up two points. My Man Jeeves. (Plus all the rest of the P. G. Wodehouse stories in the...
