0.5 tons and cost MCr0.1 per person. And since they are in no way interplanetary in range one would just get a small craft useful for other things instead.

so?

Yes, lifeboats have all kinds of use. As a life boat it that unlikely event. An auxiliary craft, etc. My 10,000 freighter I designed has a 20 ton boat that can serve as a life boat if transiting for a interplanetary trip.

Our solar system is tilted 60 degrees off the galactic plane as it orbits the galaxy. The tilt of the Earth relative to the galaxy changes throughout the year

Right. Well, no reason for a pod anyway. A gig or other small craft could be useful

If you have a failure during reentry there's no time. You are toast. Hull breach from what? And if so vacc suits are there. Power plants don't overload and explode. Pirates will just shoot you so you don't later ID them. Hulls don't just fall apart. If someone is going to take the time to...

When I was just designing a freighter I was about to add escape. pods and then I realized that for a ship of this type that just jumps from one large system to another there is no real need for them. The ship jumps into a system at the edge of the 100D limit and starts heading towards the...

right. One can stock up on food for longer voyages. Air & water can be recycled, for the most part

That''s an empirical test. :ROFLMAO:

There's not much else for except for some water and air handling. And those items are built in machinery and tanks. Not anything you can stock up. Just so you don't put aside toomuch space that can be used for cargo or living space

14 cubic meters for 4 people for 7 -10 days is FAR too much volume. FAR too much. Storage volume for food per crew member per month on a submarine is approximately 0.15 to 0.4 cubic meters (or about 5.5 to 14.7 cubic feet). So about 1/10th of a cubic meter of food per week per person.

Yes, that's why IMTU turret missiles can only be targeted at ships ≤Km1,000

There is fast drug antidote. You give it whenever you want to end the effect. That's why people are moved this way IMTU. KCr15 for each stateroom

IMTU they stack 30 to a stateroom at Cr500 per person and it's a 3 hour trip subjective time. gravity is turned down. They know not to get up before the antidote is given. Works for everyone.

Fast drug
