Passengers - any documentation?

Post by jubbbird » Tue, 28. Oct 08, 16:38

Just a quickie: I've found no official documentation on passengers in X. It is only from reading this forum that I have gathered understanding that all ships can carry passengers so long as they can carry M(Medium) sized containers, have enough space for the passengers, and have life support installed for cargo hold as is automatically the case for at least TP class ships.

Can anyone lay down a reasonably official overview of the state of affairs regarding passengers? How much freight space do they require each? Which few ships can't carry M containers, and which ship DON'T need life support installed first?

Some require TP class ships.
however, most missions simply need something with M sized cargo, which is most everything but most M5s

If you look at a ship's information, it tells you its maximum cargo size. Most ships can carry M cargo, excluding most m5s and some of the m4s.

Typically, only TP-class ships come with cargo life support preinstalled. All ships need lfie support.

I believe they take 8 space each.

So what are the general rules? Each person you want to carry requires the volume of 8 medium sized containers? I assume this is the same for astronaughts collected in free space...

Both my Tucan (1035 cargo) and Iguana (517 cargo) carry 10 marines each. Cargo space is unaffected by the number of marines onboard. So it would seem passenger space is independent of cargo space, with each ship type having a set maximum number. Unless there are different sized marines.

There's a maximum amount of marines per ship, but the only max on passengers is cargo.
