What the "High Guard Fix" does to canon LBB2 ships

Tradition.

Flying saucer being another option.

Traveller Tradition includes the Serpent Class (above). It's worth noting that it's not circular in cross-section... just a bit out of round. It's a favorite of mine...
I, myself, did some plans for a horizontal bullet shaped Type S... with the bridge on the lower deck - gives reason for pilot cautin, and better view of the landing site...

More practical might have been adding five tonnes to the Passenger Shuttle.

Single storey flying rectangle simplifies deckplanning.

Alaska, if the ceiling area from 5' upwards averages 7', it counts towards habitable space; for a typical sloped ceilinf this means 9' peak. Areas less than 5' don't count. At one point, the outer bound was 4'... late 1980's... so some friends places now no longer count as having a habitable upstairs loft...
Oregon requires 6' 8".
Texas requires 6' 8" unless there are ceiling hanging lights, in which case the ceiling needs to be 9'...

That's tiny?

Sweden requires 2.4 m [~8'] for permanent human occupancy, and 2.7 m [~9'] for public locales or many people.

In Sweden 10% of men are 1.9 m tall or more. A 2.0 m ceiling would be impractical?

You could have an angled ceiling, with the middle higher than the sides.

Otherwise, stoop.

Being one of those who was 191 cm tall at one point... a 2m ceiling was not impractical A touch claustrophobia triggering, but not impractical.

Well if there are no hanging lights....

In Florida we have ceiling fans ... [just sayin']

Aa tad over 6'4" even with a 8 foot ceiling they can be very hazardous...

 

[The Oz]

I broke two ceiling fans in my old house, so when we added to this one we created a 'cathedral ceiling' so the fan would be out of my reach.

Been there, done that. We had a ceiling fan in our TV room. It didn't smack my head, but I certainly had to be cautious about getting up off the couch and stretching!
