Year 9 Day 355 17:29	Ship volumes logic question
Tarc Drathul	I can't believe this isn't documented, It could be I just missed it, but I'm curious, How does a ship 400M long have 1,000,000 M^3 of space in it? 1,000,000 / 400 = 2500 so the ship would look like a saucer.... 2500 meters in diameter. Is this a adjustment from reality thing to simply make it so we can haul stuff? Just wondering... I notice this is common across most of the Capital and cargo vessels. Fighters too...

Hal Breden	Tarc, don't neglect the 3rd dimension. If the ship is even only 20 meters high, it becomes only 125m wide... ____________ "May the Grace of Ara go with you, and His Vengeance be wrought upon your enemies." Only fools and children dream of heroes.

Tarc Drathul	:) Gosh I was asleep on that yea that makes sense.... I've been calculating 1 foot thick concrete slabs all week... Just had it stuck in my head that everything is 1 thick... Tarc wonders off in search of beer and sleep in no particular order of importance.....

Wuma Uxal-Lumir	makes me wonder about city sizes and ship sizes. A bulk freighter can land in 1 city square but a hotel is 1x3 and smaller then the bulk. Will this be changed also? ____________

Syn	No. Planetary dimensions are largely unrealistic; individual squares are assumed to be 1x1km, which obviously results in improbably large facilities. All of this is for balance, not realism. ____________

Ellias Aubec	Although Cam would rather the size removed from the rules page. Besides, I think there was something about having the facilities renamed so that they sounded more like a collection of similar buildings like an industrial estate, rather than sounding like just a single building. Cities might make more sense then. ____________
