Notes
1. Junkers do have a line of sixty-tonne shuttles.
2. The shuttles are mated to a a double one tonne docking clamps, which is part of a standard Solomani specification.
3. I added this to the Junkers range because sixty tonne volumes have an uncapped thrust rating.
4. This makes them ideal as a very fast communications craft, or what I'm thinking of, a very fast assault shuttle.
5. However, once I really studied the smallcraft hull table, half of it didn't make sense to me; why on earth does a forty tonner have one hull point; why is there a difference on the personal scale between hull and structure, and what's the formula?
6. Personal scale isn't covered in low and high technology hull options.

Notes
1. Junkers do have a line of thirty-tonne shuttles.
2. The shuttles are sized to correspond to the maximum capacity of one tonne docking clamps.
3. I added this to the Junkers range because of the above, it's primarily function is transport, and because I needed ballast for the catamaran.
4. Also as a mental exercise.
6. As you'll see below, most of the Junker range in this size is rather fragile in comparison, but they are part of a overall Volks range of affordable spacecraft.

Smallcraft: Smallest Hull

Going by the natural progression of personal scale hull and structure points, you can come to two conclusions:

1. Smallest hull size is five tonnes, or anything that maintains a personal scale hull point of one, at a base tech level of twelve.

2. Smallest hull size is two and a half tonnes, or anything that maintains a personal scale structure point of one, at a base tech level of twelve.
 
Starships: Space Gypsies

Or is that politically incorrect? Anyway, the future descendants of them may refer to themselves as Roamers, whose etymology would stem from the word Roma.

How would a Roamer starship look like? It should be old, and handed down through the generations, with no original parts left, except possibly sections of the hull. You can't really base it on a gypsy wagon, except it might be colourfully decorated, but not really that tight, since you can't get off it to stretch your legs in space and enjoy the countryside, even less so while transitioning.

Two hundred tonnes should be just sufficient for a three generation family.

They probably don't steal horses, but they probably will steal ship components, and might be artists at chopping up spaceships for parts, while selling extra terrestrial trinkets to superstitious grounders as good luck charms or fertility talisman, and the same to even more superstitious starship crewmen.

Now the Vargr parallel evolved culture would be called the Rovers, and their starships would be indescribable, and probably unrecognizable, as they don't wait for a component to wear out, they constantly change and tweak them, with stuff they discover in junkyards.

Rover girls, while a little bit hairy, are energetic, wild and liberated, and have picked up some psionic talent that allows them to see the future, keeping them mostly out of trouble, and rather annoying at random games of chance.
 
Thanks, but you can't get the same mileage making fun of human stereotypes as you can from human stereotypes transposed on a furry.

Also, I doubt that star gypsies would survive long as a culture within the Confederacy, since their clannish nature would make it hard for Solsec to infiltrate, and the Navy would be annoyed by their random wandering around, since they have to keep track of every starship within Confederation space. So they'll get continuously harassed to the point they leave the Confederation, or abandon that culture and/or settle down groundside.
 
Starships: Hulls and Hydrogen

Doesn't hydrogen corrode steel and titanium?

Floating in pool of hydrogen for a week, every third week, can't do the hull much good, except make it brittle, which would allow cracking, blistering, allowing the hydrogen to penetrate even deeper into the hull.

This should also apply to fuel tanks.

Notes
1. Junkers have a line of hundred tonne catamaran rescue ships.
2. The forty tonne capsule makes up the control and engineering pod.
3. Still haven't figured out why a tech level twelve forty ton hull has one hull point, when that should only be possible at that volume at tech level fourteen.

2. Going by Space Stations, tech level seven hulls aren't artificially gravitated.

The ATV module includes either a wheeled or a tracked ATV
and the means to deposit it on a planetary surface and pick it up
again later. The module can serve as an ATV storage location.
It costs MCr. 1.8.
• The fuel module incorporates a fuel scoop and 30 tons of fuel tank.
It is usually used to ferry fuel from point to point and costs MCr. 1.
• The open module is a customisable frame with 30 tons of excess space.
The only difference between an open module and a module-less cutter is that
without an installed module the cutter’s module bay is open to space. An open module
provides a sealed environment for a mere 100,000 Credits and can be customised before installation (at additional cost)
with staterooms, low berths, fuel tanks, weapons and ammunition, or anything else travellers could want.
 
Starships: Jump Drives and Batteries

Fast–Cycle Jump: A normal jump drive requires the engine to be prepped before jump, and the ship cannot jump again until the engine has been prepared and the ship’s batteries have recharged.

Can't be capacitors, since these couldn't normally be pre-charged.

Notes
1. Hulls in italics were never in production, just included for reference.
2. Tech level seven hulls aren't artificially gravitated.
3. This was a fascinating exercise; I certainly wouldn't order a space station hull at any tech level over eleven, preferring to use normal hulls.
4. Why would Junkers be interested? You're looking at half or even quarter costs compared against normal hulls.

Notes
1. Presumably, with nineteen passengers on a short haul flight, you won't need a flight attendant.
2. You might get away with a single pilot, considering the increased ease in handling and safety.
3. Not too sure on the wing dimensions.
4. I could have gone with the classic cylinder, but decided to go with a more rectangular, but probably bevelled, configuration.
5. Short-haul would be three hours or less, one hundred eighty three minutes is mentioned for three hundred thousand kilometres so anything short of the moon, at four hundred thousand and two hundred and eleven minutes; though you could have a couple of turns where you could increase the speed to two gees.
6. In theory, Space Stations need distributed computers, though at thirty tonnes I doubt this, still, the alternative would be ibm1.7D 20 MCr 3.5.
7. I'd replace the command module with either a cockpit or a control cabin, since there is enough cargo leeway.
8. It's intended role is a cheap short haul transport.
9. When in atmospheric flight, the aerofins come out, while in space the aerofins are retracted, and the solar panels extended.

Notes
1. Acceleration benches fold into the floor to provide room for baggage, which is secured with webbing.
2. One attraction for the Junkers thirty tonne boat range is that the engineering module M30ssGy.9E/P30ssGy.8E/0,25-tonnes fuel is exactly one tonne, and can easily be removed and replaced in it's entirety, making engine maintenance uncomplicated and very easy.
3.Interplanetary transit time table indicates ten thousand kilometres at one gee can be covered in two thousand seconds, which should make any planetary destination short haul.
