Because with a compliment of 8 max, 2 expansion bays (both cargo holds), no listed weapons, and a length of about 175 feet I'm having trouble stating one up. I like the layout and want to build something similar. Thoughts (or official position)?
A PC can scan the Acreon with the Hippocampus's sensors......... If successful, they can identify the ship as a Medium transport that can carry a full crew complement of six......... The Acreon is armed, though none of its weapons are currently active,
I should have mentioned I saw that, sorry. It doesn't explain where 3 expansions and the turret access have gone, or the presence two extra berths. That's what is messing me up.
A piece of s%@#. :-D
Ah, ok. How I would explain this:
Those two extra berths could be for guests. Gunnery positions are on the bridge while maintenance is done through the airlocks. The three missing expansion bays are smuggler compartments.
But that is not really satisfactory.
There might just not be a gun installed in the turret section? The fact that it has room to fit one doesn't mean someone installed one per se.

Arise from the grave!
Ahem. Anyway, I statted up the Acreon on the assumption my players will scan it before boarding in our next session and thought I'd share.
These stats use the revised BP costs. The light ship tether in the turret is what the Acreon uses to haul the Drift Rock, for the record. The chain cannon is mainly used to carve into asteroids.
