Back to the original point of the discussion I think I have a good general rule of thumb for fixing capital ships. 2/3 of the crew requirements would be put in barracks this represents the E0-E2 members of the crew. Since this is capital ships the captain would get a high or luxury stateroom...

The conscious requirements is for the jump itself robots can be fully conscious but that’s TL 17.

No it’s supported by common sense and the desire not to break the game. Like my example a 100dt ship with a 500dt airlock for cargo if you give it infinite free dts you break everything. Now I would agree that multiple 2 dt free airlocks could be combined but that 2dt is built into the design...

The rule is in AoCS 2, HG 22, And the Robots Handbook as been stated before in this thread

Update as in updating the rules by that very statement the rules in HG2022 replace the rules in HG16 by updating them. That’s what the word update means.

Yes at a -8 according to robots -4 for plotting and -4 for none conscious while the first could be mostly removed the second can’t be removed by skills

Which has officially been replaced with HG 2022 and that ship is not in it. Since it not in any of their adventures I’d say it’s no longer canon. Also using a ship that was a plot device in an adventure as well as being called an artifact really doesn’t support your argument.

Free airlock are 2dt they can not be anything else because if they can be any size it breaks HG design rules ‘see my 100 dt jump 4 merchant ship I have a 10dt cargo bay but my air lock is 500dt I use that for cargo’ that may be a extreme example but it should show clearly how allowing free...

So I’ll ask again what book is this ship in. You say it’s been published for MgT2 so what book?

This sounds more like C3PO “ Conscious The robot is a fully conscious being in every aspect. It can exceed its parameters and limitations and has the ability to develop true emotions and ambitions that might not conform to the expectations of its biological creators. Conscious brains combine...

Generally speaking Class E Starports are in the frontier and very low TL which also means the atmosphere is breathable. And you don’t need an Airlock to depressurize your cargo bay to unload it most ships cargo bays are separate from the rest of the ship. The Marava has two cargo air locks and...

Doesn’t the Annic Nova officially have a brain in a jar? I’m not sure what mongoose Traveller 2 book it’s in can you also give a reference?

I’m a big fan boy in general and one of the things also all StarWars Droids have is consciousness which according to Traveller is not available until TL 17. As for the battle droids it depends on the model and when durning the clone wars they were used, early battle droids were mass produced...

Actually a loading ramp is just that a ramp to the door not a door in itself. Car carriers have loading ramps they also have gates this is just one example but there are many more. A cargo door may or may not have a loading ramp but their ramp is also not usually the door.

Generally speaking if you unloading and loading cargo away from a Starport or Spaceport your smuggling and your ship is going to design for such. In most other cases you don’t need to move cargo through an airlock.
