Idea for liners

[Bubba2x4]

It is currently illegal to carry people in you cargo bay if you fly a NON-liner ship.

But what if, instead of (or in addition to?) it being illegal, human cargo would take up more than one cargo space per unit if carried in a non liner ship?

Meaning that If I head over to planet Manhattan, and load up on spaceship crews, I'll be able to carry many more per unit cargo space in a liner than in a non-liner ship.

After all, if you have a ship that's "specifically designed to transport people", you'll be able to shed all of that big, bulky, space-suit, eject-pod, and life-support equipment, making much more room for your actual payload. An ill-equipped ship could still carry human cargo, but not nearly as efficiently as a purpose built one, like a liner.

Just an idea.

Errrrrrr... What?

First, its not illegal to carry people in a non liner ship, despite my OSC's best efforts: http://discoverygc.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=61474 where did you read that?

Second; some people already take up more than one space in non liner ships, VIPs 4. Spaceship crew rightfully only take up 1 space, as they are there for working not relaxing. The ideal is making them take up LESS space on a liner ship, because they are ships designed to carry peopl, as you rightfully said here, and I said in my thread ages ago: http://discoverygc.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=61485

VIPs 4.

5.

On topic, yeah, I quite like this but I somehow doubt it's possible to make cargo take up different amounts of space depending on the ship.

Inrp lobbying for law changes might be a better idea....as Hone mentioned, carrying passengers in a non-liner is currently legal in all houses.

(note: some infocard mentions cargo pods made for transporting passengers.....would love to actually see some with windows)

I had no idea it was legal.
I once had 120-something xeno pilots (that I'd just got done shooting down) confiscated by the navy because I wasn't flying a liner. They told me it was illegal to carry humans in a non-liner ship.

Well, nevermind, I guess.

That's different because they're unlawfuls.
About the liner part, the guy must've been confused.
