The modular hull calculation itself is correct - MCr3 - but the Calculate cost as if module installed? bit doesn't change with hull configuration. By the way, what's the use case for this?

Look at the prebuilt modules in HG22 - they all cost MCr0.9 and are marked as Streamlined. Standard ones would cost MCr0.75 - 20% lower.

Personally, I'd say so - the whole point of modular hull is that they're integral - but at that point why make it a module at all?

No idea, that's just how the rules are written. Maybe it's to cover for the modular hull space already including that cost increase, since it's based on the hull cost? I'd probably make it a flat MCr0.05/ton and make 'Module' a new hull configuration (mostly because it makes my sheet neater) but...

Looks like enabling that reduced the cost by the same amount as a completely stock 50 ton module would - so, this represents the cost of bolting on a ship to a pre-existing module. Calculation's a bit dodge, though - the module (for some reason, I admit this is strange) needs to be the same...

it's been an hour, matthew - how dare you lie to us once again

Far be it from me to recommend one of MJD's numbers, but Deepnight does have something similar - MCr0.1/ton. It's more meant to allow maintenance while underway instead of delaying maintenance, though.

Agreed with Arkathan. As for time, I'd take inspiration from real life - the Boxer AFV can swap modules within an hour under field conditions, so call it 1Dx10 minutes with no shipyard required: quick and easy for anything shy of live-fire. If you're wondering about how these compare with...

I refer you to the title of this thread, mate.

I was joking about that - but I was serious about dropping the subject.

... someone did ask me to include size 9/10 robots...

AEH, page 59.

Without wishing to sound self-centered - and acknowledging that I did start this - can this thread go back to the spreadsheets?

... i'ma beg you right now, please don't start up in this thread, alright

I was using the text on page 14, with corroboration from the 50-Slot medical chamber being explicitly able to hold a 150kg person. But if you want to be strict, 80kg is still workable. Far from universal, obviously, but height and weight limits for tankers (for example) exist for a reason. Who...
