Okay guys how much cargo space is taken up by consumables? Do we know, and if we don't what do you GM's say?

I'm looking at you YG-4210

But no really, I got a player thats looking at exploratory vessels - but wants to be able to to haul more consumables - I just don't know what to tell him for how much tonnage it would take for however many months.

I suppose it wouldn't be an efficient real-world test if we just set ourselves up with a metric ton of food and water and saw how long that lasted us.

I looked in tramp freghters and i see NO mention of increasing your consumabbles index. You can increase your passenger capacity at the rate of 1 person per 4 tons, which not only does food/water, but also air scrubbers etc.. So you could go off of that.

Yeah I would think Consumables is otherwise incorporated into the ship so isn't calculated to take up cargo space. That would really be nickle and diming things. So I think Consumables ≠ Cargo.

In the original rule book's cost chart there was an item listed called the auto chef. If I remember right this was used to increase the consumables of a ship one week per auto chef bought. That if my memory servers me correctly.
