Build:Personnel Transportation Systems
5.13 Personnel Transportation Systems
(Required for Size 5 and above)
Cost: 1 x Size for Jefferies tubes (only); 3 x Size for turbolifts and Jefferies tubes
Most starships are big enough that walking from one end to the other, not to mention climbing stairs between multiple decks, is slow and inconvenient. While ships of Size 4 and below can get by with normal walkways (but do not have to), ships of Size 5 and above usually need a turbolift transport system.
The crew also needs ways to move behind panels to access systems buried deep in the ship’s infrastructure. Jefferies tubes, as the standard access tunnels and utilities corriders on starships are known, network the entire ship.
