Alternate Staterooms and Residential Zones

[MasterGwydion]

I decided that I wanted a bit more out of staterooms and residential zones than are detailed in HG, so I made this chart. What do you guys think? I will eventually figure out how to adjust passenger demands with the TL of the accommodations as well.

Are you figuring that 'Residential Zone' includes enough 'Biosphere' or 'BioDome' to keep all the residents alive?

No, that would have to be additional. Nice catch!

Residential Zone still has to pay for life support as well does it not? On top of the power cost.

I am not sure it is made clear. In HG Update 2022 there is no additional 'Life Support' required.

Page 66 says:

Residential zones are essentially interchangeable
with stateroom accommodations.

But 'essentially interchangeable' is not 'exactly the same'. Staterooms do not use power, while 'Residential Zones' do, just as an example. That would make sense if there was some power-using system (like Biosphere) included that was not present in Staterooms.

Staterooms also recommend allocating 25% of the Stateroom displacement as 'Common Areas'; whereas 'Residential Zones' recommend allocating 50%.
