What I find to be the best is using an Indy with 8,000M3 then placing 3 Gigantic Secure Containers in it and getting just over 13,000M3 - Haha: I will try this next time I go grocery shopping.

Does no-one know maths??
Use a calculator. arbitrary numbers but, 250m x 100m x 30m = 750000m3. That would give you the dimensions of the actual cargo hold.
a 10m x 10m x 10m room contains 1000m3. a 2m x 2m x 2m room holds 8m3. a 300m x 300m x 10m would give 900000m3. a cubic kilometer is 1000m x 1000m x 1000m = 1000000000m3 . |

i think you must convert the m3 in m2 to have a real idea of the vast space present for cargo hold. Take my providence at 880 000 m3. Switch them to 880 000m2. The providence have about 2 km long and 500 meter wide.
So i gess the cargo hold have about 450 meter wide and 2000 meter long. so this correspond to the size of the ship!
In rea life, the providence will have the heigh of 40 stories building and the lenght of 4 aircraft carrier nose to nose. And just wondering the crew, if Apoc have 1600, providence surely 3000 to 4000.

Last time I checked: Volume = Length x Width x Height (as your math is right - above your DIMENSIONS are your length x width x hieght, but your actual VOLUME of your cargo hold is 750,000m3
No matter how you change the numbers, it always works.
In the case of an Indy, a relatively long but square ship, one could say the cargo area is (not actual numbers FOR example only) 2,000m (2Km) long, 40m (.04Km) wide and 40m (.04Km) high = 3,200,000m3 or .0032Km3 or for you oil tycoons 20,127,394.4653827 barrels of oil.

Sorry for the double post.
No you can't think of it as AREA (m2)= Length x Width
Think of a dump truck, you cant say the box is 20m wide and 50m long and then tell me how much it can haul, you are missing a critical dimension. In real life you have just told me how high and wide a building is, but you have not told me how many people it can fit. In other words it could be as thin as a piece of paper - For argument sake.

Seems reasonable to me.
Looking at the ship comparision chart and taking that as gospel (especially since those models look ripped from the client and programmes like 3DS MAX are hyper-accurate with dimensions)
Ships like the Armageddon are approx 2.5km long. The Providence is nearly 1.5 times that size. These things are HUGE!! and their internal volumes are equally huge. 1km3 Cargo bay is probably the right size and upwards.

allways amazed me is how the dreads are bigger then something like the Charon, allways imagined a freighter being bigger then a warship but then again i guess the dread needs the space for all its shield generators, gun mounts, ammo feed systems, generator to run all that hardware. while a Charon is an Engine with a Pod carriage and a big open space to move stuff.

They should have called it something like "Cargo units" instead of m¦ in the first place, would have spared the forum a lot of topics 
DEVs break things by looking at them. |

if you think hold sizes are bad... how does a large projectile ammo fit into both an 800mm AC and a 1400 mm howitzer.
