RE: [SG2] [DS2] Logistics

Remember, that 4 tons per man includes life support & basic living
accommodation & facilitiesfor 1-2 weeks (minimum).  1 crew space in an
APC is usually nothing more than a jump seat, transporting the grunt
into a combat zone.

Also, when you actually draw deckplans of starships in scale (15mm or
25mm), 4 tons of space equates to a 3 x 4 m stateroom (at most) as the
extra tonnage includes corridors, lifesupport, food storage etc, etc.
