4 tons of 200t is not 4%, but 2 % (less than the two ship shares he owns).
@Khue: regular freight does not fill the hulls:
quote:
Freight lots must be transported in their entirety, and
come in three sizes.
Major Cargo lots are composed of 1D x 10 tons of
freight.
Minor Cargo lots are composed of 1D x 5 tons of
freight.
Incidental Cargo lots are composed of 1D tons of freight.
To determine the number of cargo lots available, roll
2D on the Freight Traffic table three times, once each
for Incidental, Minor, and Major lots, and apply the
following modifiers.
So, if we're VERY lucky, we get 60 tons + 30t + 6t of regular cargo, for a total of 96 tons.
That leaves 104 tons empty, or 99 tons after mail. You can't possibly fill that room with speculative cargo, not if you have just 120k credits.
So what exactly is it Leroy is asking: He is asking for storage that would be unnused otherwise.
