* indicates performance set below maximum possible for drive in order to reduce fuel use

All are minimum crew no weapons, no hardpoints, no space reserved for turrets.

Looking at these numbers, I'll note that a one odd combination is possible that aren't figured, but only by double occupancy crewing...
Namely: 800Td J6 (299817.3 per ton, 4 tons cargo)

All of these are based upon standard financing. Everything rounded to nearest Cr0.1

Normative cost is the lowest of Average+1StDev, Median+1StdDev, or Minimum+2StdDev.

The table looks rather different for 1E due to the (1) lack of matching PP/JD requirement and (2) lack of Comp≥Jn requirement.


Edit: caught an error in the SS, fixed, reran. split

Note that J6 "reasonable" numbers are broken - I'll fix them monday.

"Reasonable" numbers are rounded to next Cr50
2 series throws out highest price.
3 is based upon reasonable 2+50% markup.

Some initial commentary...

J1 and J2 are both going to exist for prices of Cr1000 or less per ton... The Imperial "price fix" at Cr1000 per ton per jump is in fact reasonable for J1 and J2 - for J1, because the Impies will pay that, everyone else gets stuck paying it. For J2, the big liners at TL 15 can do it, and it's a breakeven for the 1E 800 tonner.

The 1E "hiccup" at 1000Td is the extra crew required for the minimum.

Note that no down time is figured - if a trip turn around is typically 5 days (as with "normal" starship operations ...), a freight passage taking 2 days will likely be charged 7 days. Figure out what your downtime is.

Month is presumed to be the canonical 28 day month.

I've not adjusted this for a profit margin - I'd expect at least 50% markup, maybe even 100%. In systems with deep gravity wells to fly down, I'd expect routine operations to be at about 50%.

That is a very cool ship concept.

That is a very cool ship concept.

To be honest, my issue with Bk2 is that you just can't get fast small ships.
