Stateroom sizes

[zero]

My ruling is low berths for low class, staterooms for middle class and a stateroom with a dton of space for baggage, whilst mid-class has to keep their baggage within the standard stateroom alongside them.

I keep the standard stateroom as a mid or high pax can use the same room, whilst cargo space can be used for the 1dton of stuff the High Pax might want to take with them.

Also Luxuries bought for a ship means a servant (robotic or crew) wont be needed at all (Generally Luxuries for me adds more squares to a rec room area or dining/galley area).

I use an architectural term "Floor to Floor" Height.
From one floor to another on an average deck is 3 meters, with approximately (sorry for mixing feet and meters) 2' of structure and mechanical space between floors, leaving 8' clear ceiling spaces.

Yes, correct term. I use less space for decks except for cargo & engineering.
Not that much needed.

1 ton room = working class (but communal freshers must be provide elsewhere) It also applies to large communal bunk rooms on military ships 1ton/bunk

Note High Guard does have the Barracks option which is a 2 ton space though can only hold one rather then two. These are usually drawn as 3 squares.

The author should take a tour of an attack sub. :lol:

Every book since then has used the standard 6 squares per stateroom. That's been a Travller (not just Mongoose) standard since day 1 (cept for GURPS, they used hexes).

Incorrect. CT - MT used 4 squares in published designs.

In this case we are both incorrect.

I did find a couple of deckplans that showed quarters with 2 x 4 for quarters, but for the materials that I have, I only found 2 examples. One in Assignment Vigilante (which actually shows quarters at 2 x 4 AND 2 x 3). Others I found had the standard 2 x 3 layout.

In the MT & CT core rule books I can't find any with more than 4 squares. Which books are you using?

Mega Traveller proposed to use partial staterooms, so there are single,
double, triple and lots of other kinds of staterooms of different sizes, and
since it also proposed to use a part of stateroom volume for other purpo-
ses, but did not mention how big that part should be, there is no precise
rule for the size of a stateroom on a deckplan, in the end each artist could
depict it as he liked.

In officially published materials for CT and MT, while there are some ships with 4 squares per stateroom, most had 6 and many had 8.

I used Arrival Vengance, Assignment Vigilante, some of the Alien source books, and the Flaming Eye. Those are the only MT books I have handy.

At first I thought the 2 x 4 was a DGP introduced error. But after looking at other materials, I found both GDW and DGP making the same errors.

Makes sense. I only checked the main rules not, supp's,

I checked my primary set of rule books, but none of them had deckplans.

I design my deckplans that the total amount of "spaces" is correct. Then I divide them as I see fit. Normally, crew cabins are smaller than passenger cabins, and the captain and high passengers have bigger ones.

In CT, the primary book with the cannon designs is Traders & Gunboats. A definite must have for a CT Ref.
