He won't live in his vehicle during the transit but he can ride
down in
his APC. Therefore, if you want him to transit in a ready state, then
he
needs 4 CCs for his bunk, food, latrine, etc. To ride down in the APC
he
takes up 1 CC in the APC or in a lander. However, the room in the APC
or
the lander does not count towards his living quarters on the ship.
Gort, Klaatu barada nikto!
