The difference is that sane people do not take bricks into an atmosphere. The argument above has very little to do with any points I have been making.The only difference between your bricks and a streamlined ship is that the streamline ship is actually less affected by the weather than the brick. That’s what streamlining does, I’m not sure why you think a streamlined ship with M-1 is going to have more issues with wind and weather than a partially streamlined ship with M-1 but the CRB says the opposite of what your saying “ Partial streamlining allows a ship to skim gas giants and enter Atmosphere codes of 3 or less, acting in the same way as streamlined ships. In other atmospheres, the ship will be ponderous and unresponsive, reliant on its thrusters to keep it aloft. All Pilot checks will be made with DM-2.” You literally have the situation reversed!.
You do you but I’ll be honest the ideal of randomly creating situations that have no bearing on the story just so you can punish your players is very GM vs Players instead of building a story. Have fun don’t bother responding we obviously have very different styles when it comes to GMing
Yes, we have different styles. You create threads to show off your new atomic hammer and then argue (badly) when anyone partially disagrees with you to show you that not every problem is a nail.
Although, you may be able to stuff more than just that measly four tons of cargo in, since once people find out you are flying a 747 with a Sesna cockpit, you won't need as many medium staterooms. Turn them to cargo or split between cargo and low berths, because only desperate people will fly PlanetSide to PlanetSide on that thing.
