For High Guard ships, is a 1 to 1 crew to stateroom ratio used? I'm trying to figure out how many full sized staterooms a Classic Traveller Fer De Lance DE has.. I know it has 14 crew, does that mean 14 staterooms as well?

As atpollard notes it would by the rules probably have 9 staterooms (4 single occupancy for the 4 officers, and 5 double occupancy for the 10 ratings). However about the only way to be sure (since the description doesn't specify) is to reverse engineer it and see how much room you have. Fortunately it's a small ship, sooo...
...a quick run through with High Guard Shipyard looks like 9 staterooms it is. Just fits with no extra tonnage available. So there's no cargo or stores for extended missions.
Also of note the crew calculations in the program came up with more than 14 required. Book 5 crew calculation came up with 29 required, Book 2 crew calculation came up with 19 required. Big surprise, another broken canon design

Awesome, thanks! The reverse engineering was very helpful!
Seems like with two cutters, any cargo space available on them could be used for extended stores.
:rofl: Hey, perhaps even install a bunk or two for the missing crew members...lol

You're quite welcome
Good ideas! I'd blindly typed in the cutters and didn't even think about their utility. Cargo definitely, quarters... possibly.

Since I had the program open and the data filled in I decided to play a bit...
...I got it to "work" by dropping the powerplant to a 6 (reduced agility to 3) and instead of four missile batteries just two.
That let me reduce the crew to 16* (2 officers and 14 ratings, so 9 staterooms work). If you went with the lasers as a single battery you could get down to 14 crew as described (and fudge the 4 officers and 10 ratings).
* still no crew for the cutters though, but figure some of the ratings are qualified
And it made room for 61tons of cargo (or other usage*) as well as reducing the cost significantly. MCr762.770 before discounts, not including cutters or architect fee.
* maybe two extra cutter modules, or some armor?
Anyway, just goofing off and thought it might be interesting/helpful
