I’ll find and fix them this evening. Thanks.
Got to it sooner. Done. I also tweaked the displayed area on the AutoBerths and Robotic Crew so the download button wasn't off screen.

Have you considered adding an Optional c page with the add-ons from the Vehicle Handbook?

The Peregrine-Class Assault Transport is meant to deliver a full company of Marines into contested areas and deploy overwhelming force. It isn't jump capable and is carried on tenders to the deployment area. The training area aboard the ship can hold half the Marines at once. It has 122 High Survivability Capsules to drop troops from orbit and three Panther-Class Deployment Shuttles to get them places that are somewhat safer to land in.

If I do, I'll wait for the new book.

Sometimes I get a bug up my butt and make crazy ships. Things no one could afford to build. You're welcome. 
And I had to mangle the sheet a lot to make it work. The shading got broke somewhere along the way, too. Fun times.
A Mongoose 2e design. The Arthur C Clarke-Class Advanced Research Ship is what a standard lab ship dreams of being when it grows up. It was built by MixCorp for its own internal use as part of Project Azure Skies, a blue sky research initiative where they hope to make breakthroughs undreamed of by those unwilling to wager vast sums of money. The Arthur C Clarke is literally a solution in search of a problem. Many problems, in fact, and it designed to solve them all.
The ship houses 108 of the best and brightest minds that Vincennes has ever produced. Each member has been chosen for their deep intellect and drive to push the boundaries of science forward. Then each of them has been augmented to increase their intellect and recall even further, their very nerves upgraded to increase their skills' effectiveness. There might be a few better suited for this work, but there aren't many. These people are where they were born to be.
The 25,000-Ton vessel is state of the art, but built in a retro style two 870-meter counter-rotating hamster cages for all the work. The engineering and other sections related to the ship, except for the bridge, are in the central hull. It carries a few vessels piggyback for various purposes: a 5,000-ton refueling drone ship (needs two trips), a pair of robotically-controlled 400-ton system defense boats for protection, five 500-ton robotically-controlled mining/refining/smelting ship to gather needed raw materials, five very fast 325-ton robotically-controlled cargo retrievers to get the raw materials back in a hurry while the miners remain doing their work, and a number of smaller craft.
The ship has 96 dedicated modular labs that can be swapped out at need, 12 double-sized medical bays where work on cybernetic augmentation takes place, 26 workshops that have been combined into one contiguous space, a dozen regular sized robotics laboratories, and a dozen double-sized robotics laboratories. 12 of the labs are combined with the double-sized robotics laboratories for reasons that will shortly be made clear. 12 robotics labs are combined into 3 large ones.
The ship hosts extremely expensive software that increases the already powerful research work and every scientist has a robotic lab assistant/research assistant to help them. In order to run the massive load of programs required, it has 34 massive computers that all work together to host everything they need. They also have their own library to work privately in. Every advantage that could be provided has been provided, and then more was given.
The ship is crewed by advanced robots and even has a conscious intelligence in the main computers. A sophant is present for each department to oversee things and to administrate the science work. There are also light and heavy security droids to keep the scientists safe.
Housing is the most luxurious imaginable. Each sophant is housed in a luxury stateroom and has a robotic steward to oversee their needs. Meals are prepared in a large gourmet kitchen and all dine together. In fact, they are forced to socialize and work discussions are encouraged. They are also compelled to exercise together and then spend time in either the hot tubs or swimming in the endless pool.
There are two dozen superior androids aboard with prototype conscious intelligences in them. They also act as scientists and research assistants for tough projects. With the capabilities of the scientists, the computers, the lab assistant/research assistants, and the conscious intelligences, no problem is truly unsolvable and even impossible tasks can be accomplished, though they take time and may be on hold for other breakthroughs. They do most of their work in the robotics laboratories.
The ship has 84 advanced autodocs where the 15 chamber liter fabricators have been upgraded to prototype advanced fabricators. In addition, the combined workshop has a 3,900 chamber liter prototype advanced fabricator. That is a five-ton enclosed fabricator/deconstructor combination that can make anything up to TL16. Each robotics lab also comes with a prototype advanced fabricator, though 12 are combined into three 1-ton fabricators.
There is a 1,000-ton hanger space with an 7,680 chamber liter (10 tons) prototype external advanced fabricator. In that large space, it could build a ship at a rate of 10 tons every eight hours. If the section has a complex robotic brain, it will take up to 16 hours. It can make a new 500-ton mining ship in fifty session, three a day. That means a ship in 17 days. It is a test bed and they intend to expand it as they work the kinks out until they can build a ship in a day.
None of this comes cheaply. Each superior android cost almost a billion credits to build, for a total of over 22 billion credits. The prototype fabricators cost over 13 billion credits. Even the lab assistants total more than a billion combined.
The ship, its companion ships, and all its contents costs 72 billion credits. More than 2 million credits a ton for the 34,925 tons of vessels and their smaller craft inside. No sane company would spend money like this. MixCorp, however, believes they can recoup it all and more if they outclass the competition.
They've put their money where their mouths were. It's time to see if that pays off.
