Janky Cradles and Ship Construction

[wintertraveller]

Where would I find any details on what it takes to build a cradle and build a ship in a temporary cradle in contrast to a shipyard?

Are there game mechanics distinctions between a salvage cradle, a docking cradle, and a construction cradle?

If this info exists in Cluster Truck, please help me find the pages. I'm not seeing it, but I could easily have missed it.

Thank you

The info doesn't exist.
From context and clues, the salvage cradle is needed to save time while salvaging. But I think it should count as a makeshift cradle for building.
For building a makeshift cradle, I would go with it needing the same time and material as 10% of the hull, but using both structural and control material requirements.

If they include hardware, they should make the rules on them clear, including cost of building them. It's just lazy not to.

Put another way it wouldn't be Traveller without missing, incomplete, contradictory and conflicting, and inconsistent rules. It gives us something to discuss for the next fifty years
