So shouldn't the Merc Cruiser become a Merc Cutter as well? Or how about Merc Corvette?Merc Cruiser: The cargo module for one of the Cutters is enough for even the double occupancy load.

I would say the lesson is avoid cometsTitanic hit an iceberg unseen in the night; no lesson there for us.
Quite right and very valid. I guess a better comparison, both in cost and actual usefulness would be the standard survival bubble which iirc are supposed to be in sufficient quantity for the whole complement aboard.Originally posted by Aramis:

the cost ratios don't compare. To add escape pods to a Type S, enough for the "Nominal" 4 person rating, is at least 4MCR, or about 20% of the NEW COST.
Seat cushion floation is at worst 1% of the cost of a modern airliner. Probably less.
