I seem to recall that GURPS:Traveller (and the 4e version, GURPS: Traveller Interstellar Wars) uses 1 displacement ton = 500 cubic feet (US printings -- overseas seems to be metric). Assuming that my memory isn't faulty, and going by GDW versions of Traveller assuming 3m deck height, this would mean that GT assumes a 10 ft deck height, correct?
The reason I am asking this is because The Sims 2 in build mode works out reasonably as one floor square = 2.5 ft x 2.5 ft, or two squares to slightly more than the 1.5 meter classic deckplan squares. It also means, if 10 ft deck height is correct, that one GT displacement ton can be mapped to eight floor squares in The Sims 2.
This leads to the potential for being able to do "interior shots" of ship spaces, and having an idea of just how cramped or not a stateroom, lounge, corridor, et cetera can be.
So, as above: are those figures for GT ship spaces correct?

Either a corridor is five feet across or it's 1.5m across. It's not the one on every other day and odd weekends and the other on alternate days and even weekends.
