Canon bulk carriers?

Well, you also have to count in refrigeration volume, airflow volume (to keep the vegetables crisp), drinks (you are NOT going to serve rehydrated Scotch to your passengers), etc. Also, your math is off by one factor: 1000 people x 3 meals x 8 days is 24,000, not 2400.

Yep, my calcs were off by one factor so it will be 27 dtons and as I said in an earlier post I double it for access by cooks, etc. (read airflow, refrigeration) to 54dtons. Let's round it down to 50 dtons for simplicity. Fiftly dtons of food will feed 1000 people for eight days, three meals a day (plus snacks), each meal is a choice of 20 different offerings.

When I have played with, Alright, since I never got workable designs finished, toyed with, adding the bars and resturaunts and such, I simply decided that a reasturant that seets 100 people would be the equivent of 10 staterooms for example.

This simplifed out space calculations, and if I counted then as equivelent staterooms when figuring in life support, I bypassed a whole messy kludge to adjust life support calculations.

Then it simply becomes a matter of calculating how many staterooms a given facility would match. (basically, a direct size comparison) I say I toyed with this because I have some rough notes at a first guess for sizes, but I never actually got to anything that is ready to use.

That is an excellent and elegant solution.
