Travellers Needed! High Guard Updates

The difference, being, that they become an integral part of the primary hull, after some time fitting in spacedock.

Thus, the jump drive can suck fuel from them directly.

Sort of like breakaway, except, without being able to breakaway.

Unbreakawayable.

And why couldn’t a docking clamp perform the same function? It is a firm connection that could support fuel linkages, power couplings, and even a flexible docking vestibule.
 
'Cos someone seems to have forgotten to add that in, anywhere.

I think there might have been an apparatus that took over the bridge network of boarded spacecraft, but I can't remember where; and I suspect you'd have penalties, and/or latencies.

For fuel, you could make the cargo hull a drop tank equivalent, in terms of adding in plumbing - easy in terms of the primary hull, somewhat vague in how that works in the cargo hull, and iffy in terms of robustness.

Then it should be added in. Docking clamps provide a firm connection that can reasonably be projected to allow for that.
 
- Fractional dT fuel processors (I use a 0.75^(TL-8) rule).

- Clarification on "free" airlocks for small craft

- Life support plant

- Life support power/cost rules to bring all pressurised spaces into line with staterooms
