I was looking through my newly reacquired Starship Construction Manal, and I noticed a rather significant (as far as the numbers go) math error in the cargo ratings.
According to the book, 1 Standard Cargo nit (SCU) is 6.75 cubic meters. Okay. Also, according to the book 1 SCU is assumed to have a mass of 50 metric tons, which is considered to be about 3/4th the mass of water. Not okay.
Water has a mass of 1 metric ton per cubic meter, so if 1 SCU has the mass euqal to 3/4th that of water it should be around 5 mt, not 50. Either somene muplitpled the number by 10 or was thinking in English (water is around 63 pounds per cubic foot, and 3/4 of that would be around 50 pounds per cubic foot).
So all the cargo tonnages for FASA ships are off by a factor of 10.
