Two questions on the Shuttle:
1. Does the Shuttle functionally add 5 Cargo Capacity to your ship? (I assume so, as 10 Creds + 1 Upkeep seems a bit steep for just another egress point but I wanted to check.) That's of course with you dropping 5 Load worth of cargo explicitly in the Shuttle and putting the rest in your main Airlock: I doubt you can magically drop 5 over your normal Capacity in your main Airlock and have it sort itself out later on.
2. Does the Shuttle count as an Airlock for positives, as well as negatives? I assume I have to roll Airlock to drop off cargo in it, but can I also, ah, borrow parts out of it with the Slicer's Cannibalize? How about hitting the Spares Bank? (I could see both working, only Cannibalize working, or neither working, honestly.)
Two rules questions:
1. Regarding Payday options and taking the opposite of the ones you don't choose; I can follow that for most of the choices, but I'm unsure how to apply that to the last choice. Is it "It is/isn't" worth more then you first imagined (so it's +2 Load and Cred or +0 Load and Cred) or It's worth more/less then you first imagined (+2 Load/Cred or -2 Load/Cred)? The former seems "nicer", but I'm not sure how I would play the latter; -2 Load/Cred on a Tier 1 ship would literally not be worth hauling back, which seems off.
2. The rules say you can carry Grit/Gear/Gas over capacity in your Load slots on runs; can you carry over such resources between Birds in a similar way?
(Bonus clarification: I am assuming you cannot use the between Birds part of the Slicer's Cannibalize Special Feature to, say, dump all or most of your Gear into Spares Bay slots and then "refill" yourself to Gear capacity for 1 Cred? That seems a bit too friendly even for a class Special Feature.)
For those of you who like auditory atmosphere with your cosmic nautical horror and despair, I recommend the following soundtrack: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOvXQ3srt70
