Well as we agreed with Jinx, it wasnt really made to hold big crew, its more like Me & Me & Computer.

If you dont mind me asking, but could you elaborate more on what this large crew would be doing?
This would help to pinpoint what you are looking for exactly, as I believe most, if not all capships could be gutted and refit to hold more crew. (of course you'd have to RP using less guns or less armour to show that)

Or a smaller powerplant? If you were to buy the cap now it wouldn't receive the powerplant upgrade. You said it wouldn't be for combat anyway so it wouldn't matter much, but the less effective powerplant could be used to show that the ship has been retro-fitted for more room. Then there's the slacking on Armour upgrades or not using all the weapon slots.

Well I think i have already told that once here
Quote:So I want cruiser, it would be more like command-center than a warship ( Thats just a metaphor, not the real purpose) ... So I want the one which would be possibly capable of taking in a large number of people, not really troops, but Scientist, engeneer, mechanics, and such, so when ive told "largest" it wasnt really about the hitbox, but number of rooms, so to say. And I have forgot to mention that it should be legal, or, rather -neutral, so Corsair and Outcast vessels will not be best choice, since I think that Houses wont really accept that, no matter what is inside and what is his purpose. It also should look more defensive than offensive, because it will never be agressor... Thats why I so far looked on Albatros and Zoner Destroyer.
But to add a little more, It will be ship with a lot of "important people" so throwing away guns and armor wouldnt be much wise choice, even though its not supposed to be engaged in combat often (More likely never unless attacked)

While I do understand what it is, but the question is who are the people?
Like an outcast crew would never fly a corsair ship.. etc..
If its neutral you are going for, zoner is the way to go, then you could fly either the zoner ships or IMG ships with no issue.

Um, yeah I have told that somewhere around post 6-7 as well :DIt will be HQ for a civilian "organisation" based on Gran canaria, joining WITH Zoners to avoing people from peeping into their actions. (But the crew itself -as I have actually biographies of 14 people abouard the ship- are pretty mix up of all nations, but thats not the issue since they all serve under one flag)

Well to that... Its a fact that I dont plan to rush into fight, It will be more like flying castle for me. But the Word castle is not randomly used... I cant lack armor and guns, because it will be home of all important personel in my story and "company" so it would be little strange... Like sending pope into crowd of anti-christians on a bycycle:)I dont really mean cariing like 1000 people +supplies, mashines and such, Its more like300-500 people (Well 350 is the ideal number I guess), but I want to be realistic... People dont like to share rooms with another 20 people, and there have to be space for few labs and such...

Well I wonder, Albatross with 350 people onboar, some space used as labs, some space a a apartments for "heads of project" ... I just wonder if it will be crowded or no:D
