Jupiter 2 tonnage.

Watching the Netflix version of lost in space.

My take on the tonnage of the Jupiter class Vessels is that they are 200 dTons.
 
Prior to that, I had the Jupiter Two tapped as my Venture class, and one hundred tonnes was too small, two hundred tonnes a tad too large, but was basically the design sweet spot to aim at.
 
ships on TV are hard - they are like a Tardis, much larger on the inside than the outside. The old image library I think had a Traveller version of the Jupiter ship with deck plans. 200 could be about right though the jump engine, at least in the Netflix version, is entirely too different from Traveller (but it could be: just make it as per the show, an alien device of a much higher TL than normal).

Yes they are.

But watching the show I kept thinking that the J2 is setup as yacht or small research vessel or even a scout.
 
It looks about 100 tons space, to me.

It's one of the things I based my Ross-class Scout on. Not precisely, but kinda the Feel of the Jupiter 2. Plus a bit of the Millennium Falcon and a Scout/Courier. Ian Stead's a really good artist, isn't he.

I started with a 100 tons, which works with a liberal application of non counted volume. 200 tons gives the room for the set to settle in. Honestly it is the range of 100 to 200.
