Cost of multiple crew quarters

[Ravingdork]

Does the BP cost for Crew Quarters listed in the Core Rulebook represent ALL of the ship's quarters? Or is that the cost PER crew quarter?

To my understanding it is all of the crew quarters. A ship with luxurious crew quarters has rooms for all its crew members.

Note that the rating could also be used to represent an "average" for the Crew Quarters on larger ships; especially if the ship is from a RHIP (rank has its privileges) society.

Going by the Guest Quarters expansion bay, for every two crew members with luxurious amenities (such as the captain and other high officers) there would be six crew members with common amenities (such as low-ranking "swabbies," to borrow a nautical term) for the ship to qualify for an overall "Good" rating.

It's all crew quarters. You don't have to pay per room

Wow. I got some old ships that have really been selling themselves short then. Good to know! :D

My own interpretation is that, broadly speaking, all quarters are "common" or "good" or "luxury", its just that each category has its own range. A ship of any type might well have a big captain's quarters, a couple rooms for officers, and crew bunks. Its just that on a Common ship, the the captain's room is small, the officers rooms are spartan, and the crew bunks are basically metal racks along a corridor with ratty curtains. On a Luxury ship, the captain's room is a full suite with numerous amenities, the officers rooms are spacious and comfortable, and even the crew bunks have features like "adjustable mattress", "privacy door", and "personal climate control and TV" ( and no hot bunking! ).

Don't forget the other things, too. Crew Quarters are more than beds and bedrooms, they are also bathrooms, mess hall and kitchen facilities, rec rooms, and other common non-working areas. A Common ship will still have most of those things, usually, but they'll be small, spartan, and probably at least partially improvised ( ie, a "rec room" that's just the unused half of a storage bay, with a TV hung on a wall and a couple folding chairs and tables ). A Luxury ship will resemble a resort hotel.
