RP Balance of Human Cargo

[Omicron]

It does not make sense for fighters to carry military vehicles.

It does not make sense for fighters to carry more than 4 people.

It does not make sense either to carry your "crew" in cargohold. That must be hell of a bad ride for these guys.

Of course it doesn't - but that's the way it's represented in NPC vessels, and that's the standard I sometimes mimic by carrying crew. Merely having them there has made some great RP encounters in the past, too, so I don't see an issue.

NPC ships dont carry more than 200 spaceship crew. Nothing would restrict the average player to carry more than that. And is there why suggestion comes.

[Valarin]

Oh no, I wasn't saying that - I meant that they frequently carry 20-40 depending on the ship, which with these additions would mean 100-200 units of space.

But this is all besides the point, regardless of how I play I think this would be a good change. That's all I was really wanting to say in the first place.

Well I'll be damned, the community agrees.

Edit: Maybe I had to make a poll...

Why not give Liners better ability to carry human cargo? They are designed to haul them after all.

Don't get me wrong, it would be great if we had that.

I recognise it's a tiny grave dig, but there's another point to be made besides "how'd you fit those 20 people into the back of your starflea" that supports the implementation of such a change.

I just offloaded over 3,700 passengers to Freeport 11 in Omicron Delta (for quite a profit).
It's population prior to my arrival was a mere 690.
They're going to have some serious overcrowding issues.
