Default Overloading a Spaceship, and volume (Spaceship rules)

The spaceship rules are purely weight related, which can make sense, and certainly makes designing a ship easy. However, there can be some concerns that I'm seeing already.

How much volume is in a cargo hold of a certain rated weight? And, then, what happens if you FILL that hold with something extremely dense, such as lead. Acceleration will, naturally, drop for reaction engines, but what happens to things like the ship's handling? Are other effects likely, besides awkward scenes like landing in the ocean and sinking instead of floating?
