True. I found that out trying to build the lavatories on the first carrier

Yep, that's the main variable.

I guess you gotta figure the practicality of it. It could still be a
military ship (like Star Trek stuff) but also serve as an exploration
vessel. Your choice to make a leisure vessel was perfect. It showed off your
building style and eye for detail. I think my next ship will serve no
military purpose, just so I can have a stab at more gracious interiors! :)
