Okay, say your group wants to sell their starship...

You don't need to allocate a full tonne for fuel.

And it's an overall cost, since both sides need connectors.

The rules don't state where the 2% is allocated.

True -- but if each section pays 2%, then the whole hull is legal whether or not they are joined up. At one point I was in the habit of including 2% in every hull I built & claiming a 'standardized interface' that allowed an arbitrary number (and combination - Mongoose has made no attempt to limit this) of ships to join together. 'Virtual Crew' and 'No Bridge' options are your friend.

This whole process consumes 2% of the combined hull tonnage for the extra bulkheads and connections needed, and costs MCr2 per ton consumed. Hull points of each section will be proportionate to the total Hull points of the ship.

Likely proportionate for the extra bulkheads and connections, as well.

I'd say dealer's choice on the 2%, defaulting to an even split. It could be designed a few ways.
