I just got my copy yesterday, and I already have a few questions and comments. First, the comments:

1. Very good! I like it a lot.
2. Beautiful artwork.

Now the questions. (Mostly about ship design.)

1. Ship tonnage seems to be in "Register tons" (units of 100 cubic feet). Is this correct? In general, what units of measure are commonly used in the 'Verse?
2. Will deckplans be published on gaming scale (i.e. 1 inch=10 feet)?
3. How is "maximum deck load" determined? Does this represent the maximum "lift load" of the ship? How is a ship's external cargo load determined?
4. Is Aces amd Eights a one-of-a-kind boat, or was it customized from a standard midrange transport class?
5. I realize that all short range shuttles would have the same general characteristics, but are they required to all have the same specific hull design so they can fit in standardized conformal shuttle bays? More specifically, are the shuttles used by Firefly-class ships still in production? Or has Inara's shuttle "seen better days" too?
6. What are the exact dimensions of Serenity's main cargo hold? And the main cargo airlock door? (These place certain limitations on the size and shape of cargo that can be carried.)
7. Do the passenger dorms on Serenity overlap each other, or are they on the same level?
8. Standard 40 foot cargo containers are mentioned several times in the book, but their height, width and maximum tare weight aren't mentioned. Are they the same as current ISO standards, and if not what are they?
[/list]

Expiring minds want to know.

*shrugs* Because the questions got asked there, not here, so that's where the answers are. You'd be better off skipping over to the 'Versal Board, I suspect, and keep an eye on both spots...
