[Spaceships] Lifesupport (or lack there of)
If a species didn't need life support (like the Memer and Saret, frex) how would you handle the costs/effects for building spaceships?

Just don't put any Habitats on. I'd use Open Space instead if I needed living space. Even if they don't need a ship at all, its nice to have somewhere to be while it's accelerating, jumping, or getting shot at.

You don't need pressurization, but your stuff might.
Or slaves, or cargo. I forget; what are they powered by if no air and food? |

Re: [Spaceships] Lifesupport (or lack there of)
Cabin space is denser than open space, I feel; open space is just a big empty volume of air with only a limited amount of ground to stand on. I'd probably go with four bunks per cabin, at 2/3 cost — assuming the need for air pressure, minimal temperature, radiation shielding, and energy (for lights, if for nothing else) but not for water, food, or fresh air circulation.
Why air pressure? For one, to conduct sound; for two, to help dissipate and/or regulate heat from equipment and electronics. |

Re: [Spaceships] Lifesupport (or lack there of)
This thread necromancy is being done because now that I have a copy of Spaceships 7: Divergent and Paranormal Tech I was trying to find this switch, I can't find it in either the index or a read though but I know I may have missed it. Can someone point me to it or did it get lost during the play testing?
