Tiny, compared to Oolite ships, and definitely not much cargo space. A ton? Maybe two tons? Imagine how long it'd take, doing milk runs between planet surface and the main station to afford a reasonable upgrade.

Someone's gonna do a virgin space tour ship OXP for Oolite I bet.

@Fatleaf btw I've always known an escutcheon as the metal or plastic disc that covers a keyhole.

Escutcheon:-

1.
a shield or shieldlike surface on which a coat of arms is depicted.
2.
an ornamental or protective plate around a keyhole, door handle, drawer pull, light switch, etc.
3.
Nautical . a panel on the stern of a vessel bearing its name and port of registry.

A much over-used term

who cares about cargo, how many guns can you fit to it is the question.

But that is the point of having them. To educate the masses. I also learn a bit when I research them. Each fact I want to put up will have some nautical connection. In line with us sailing through the 8!

Thanks Smivs for the further meanings.
Everday is a school day!
