I enjoy looking around my ships in turret view when I'm cruising to try to get a hand of the sizes. For example, I'm debating with myself whether that tube on the top the the Corsair Gunboat is just big enough for a person to walk through. I mean it makes sence to me. And then look at the BHG gunboat, you can see 4 people in it's cockpit.

I always considered that 'tube' a ladder or elevator shaft of sorts connecting the bridge to the engine room, rather than having to go through the cargo bay underneath.

We are in space after all, any gravity on a ship is going to be artificially produced, which means you could create gravity in any direction you wanted. Forward and backward on a ship could possibly by up and down in some areas =P

Anyways, My pirate gunboat is simple... got myself (cap'n Keelhaul, arr!) who does the piloting, an engineer to take care of the running systems, and a slew of crewmen to operate both the turrets as well board enemy ships to overtake their crews in hand to hand combat (gun to skull, more likely). I view the interior of the gunboat as fairly open, most of it taken up by a cargo space with the crew sleeping and eating wherever there's room inbetween looted supplies.
