Accommodations:  Accommodations aboard low tech level spacecraft are extremely cramped.  Crew are typically berthed in half bunks, while officers and passengers will have full bunks.  The latter are often grouped into two-person bunk rooms with private hygiene facilities called "cabins."  The ship's captain and first-class passengers might have small staterooms, but this is usually reserved for luxury liners.

Life Support Equipment:  The following equipment is functionally identical to the TL 5 versions, but has increased volume, mass and price.  Extended life support includes CO2 scrubbers (such as soda lime) and green plants to increase the available oxygen supply.

Life Support Supplies:  Each person carried aboard a space vessel has a life support cost of §145 per day.  Each occupied low berth involves an overhead cost of §100 per usage.  Accommodations include space for two weeks worth of life support supplies (food, water, air, sundries).  Additional life support supplies may be stored as cargo.  One cubic meter of storage can hold 40 man-days worth of life support supplies at a cost of §5800.

Environmental Gravity:  In most campaigns there will be no gravity in space; in campaigns using ether propellers the referee may optionally declare the etheric field produces both gravity and serves as a G Compensator.

Emergency Life Support:  Without life support there are 35 man-hours of air per displacement ton.
