Hello again,
1. In MT: COACC the Fixed-Wing Aircraft Design Crew/Passenger
Accommodations Table states that Volume is in kiloliters. The Rotary-Wing and
Airship Crew/Passenger Accommodations Table appears to be formatted the same way
as the Fixed-Wing Aircraft table with some items omitted or added.
The three Crew/Passenger Accommodations Table has a component listed as
passenger section that accommodates 4 passengers with the weight at .30 tonnes
with a cost of Cr 5,000. Each table has different volumes: Fixed-Wing = 4 kl,
Rotary-Wing = 8 kl, and an Airship = 2 kl. There are no Power requirements
listed on any of the tables. The passenger section’s weight is .30 tonnes with a
cost of Cr 5,000 on all three tables.
I’m not sure how the passenger sections can have three different volumes
but have the same weight and cost. To be honest I’m not sure how the rotary-wing
aircraft can have a component with more volume than a fixed-wing aircraft.
Here are my suggested:
Change the rotary-wing and airship volumes to 4, which is the simplest
method.
2. MT Consolidated Errata v 2.21 (02/23/13) edited by Donald McKinney page
62 replaced the second through fourth paragraphs of the Crew and Passengers text
on pages 42-43 which does not match the information or units used in the MT:
COACC Crew/Passenger Accommodations Table on pages 33, 38, and 45.
MT: COACC
Airship’s accommodations include these passenger related components:
Crew Station: Capacity 1 Volume 2 kl, Weight .1 tonnes, Cost Cr5,000
Passenger Section: Capacity 4 Volume 2 kl, Weight .3 tonnes, Cost Cr5,000
1st Class Passenger Section: Capacity 2, Volume 2 kl, Weight .3 tonnes,
Cost Cr5,000
Passenger Stateroom: Capacity 2, Volume 2 kl, Weight 1 tonne, Cost
Cr50,000
Passenger Amenities (per passenger): Capacity -, Volume 2 kl, Weight
.1 tonnes, Cost Cr1,000
MT Consolidated Errata page 62: Crew and Passengers, second, third, and
fourth paragraphs (correction):
“For trips of 8 hours or less, each crewman requires a crew station and
each passenger requires a roomy seat and amenities equivalent to half of a small
stateroom (0.001 EP; 13.5 cubic meters; 1 metric ton; Cr 20,000).”
Checking MT Referee’s Manual p. 82:
Step 6 Vehicle Crew Accommodations Roomy Seat: Power –; Volume 4 kl; Weight
.02 tonnes; Price Cr100
Step 9 Extended Accommodations Small Stateroom: Power .003; Volume 27 kl;
Weight 2 tonnes; Price Cr40,000
Under the Extended Accommodations table is a note that states that the
volume makes an allowance for access space and the actual accommodation volume
is half that shown.
Revised MT Referee’s Manual p. 82 data:
Step 6 Vehicle Crew Accommodations Roomy Seat: Power –; Volume 4 kl; Weight
.02 tonnes; Price Cr100
Step 9 Extended Accommodations Small Stateroom: Power .003; Volume 13.5 kl;
Weight 2 tonnes; Price Cr40,000
A passenger seat based on MT Referee’s Manual requires: Power .003, Volume
17.5 kl, Weight 2.02 tonnes; Price Cr40,100 after rounding to match MT: COACC
format: Power .003, Volume 18 kl, Weight 2 tonnes; Price Cr40,000 for a single
passenger.
In MT: COACC each passenger occupies a Volume of .5 kl with a Weight of
.075 tonnes and a cost of Cr1,250 without amenities. Adding amenities increases
the volume to 2.5 kl, weight up to 0.175, and the cost is Cr2,250.
I’m pondering on what to do since only the Airship Crew/Passenger
Accommodations Table has the correction that appears to reference MT: Referee’s
Manual.
Any suggestions would be helpful.
