Startrucks: Hulls and Planetoids
1. Having figured out what the cheapest possible starship would be, it's time to do that for a hectokilotonne startruck.
2. Hundred thousand tonnes being the last major milestone, in regard to structural integrity and crewing.
3. Twenty percent wastage doesn't seem to have an effect on structural integrity, in terms of increased hull points.
4. Maintenance is confined to the eighty percent of usable volume.
5. It seems that volume allocated to actual hull armour is unaffected.
6. It's pure speculation on my part that crew requirements would be reduced to a third, based on tonnage.
7. If not, it would be half, based on the previous milestone, that is within usable volume.
8. If it really mattered, could increase tonnage to one eighth of a megatonne.
9. In which case, eighty percent would be a hectokilotonne.
