So, I am reading this from GURPS Traveller Interstellar Wars (4th Edition)...

'Quarters and Miscellaneous' Page 198.

"Crew and passengers need quarters to live in during travel. Several classes
of accomodation are available. The space taken up by these systems is
only about 50% allocated to living space; the rest is taken up by common
areas (corridors, galleys, lounges, and so on) and life support equipment."

Does this mean that: The listed spaces for each stateroom represents half of the total required living space - and that a starship must allocate double this value of 'spaces' (dtons of volume) when designing a ship?

Or does this mean that: The listed spaces for each stateroom represents the total required living space - and that the ships deckplans should have actual staterooms take up half this volume, with the other half corridors, galleys, lounges, and so on.

Thanks for the assist.
