Troilus and Cressida Act I, Scene III
Ulysses: And therefore is the glorious planet Sol
In noble eminence enthroned and sphered
Amidst the other; whose medicinal eye
Corrects the ill aspects of planets evil,
And posts, like the commandment of a king,
Sans check to good and bad; but when the planets
In evil mixture to disorder wander,
What plagues and what portents! what mutiny!
What raging of the sea! shaking of earth!
Commotion in the winds! frights, changes, horrors,
Divert and crack, rend and deracinate
The unity and married calm of states
Quite from their fixture! O, when degree is shaked,
Which is the ladder to all high designs,
Then enterprise is sick!

GENERAL FORMULAE FOR SURFACE AREA AND VOLUME FOR REGULAR SOLIDS
CUBE
SIDE = X
SA = 6X2
VOL = X3
If X = 100, then SA = 60,000 & Vol = 1,000,000.
If X = 46.41589, then SA = 12,926 and Vol = 100,000.
RECTANGULAR SOLIDS
SIDES OF RATIO A : B : C
SA = 2 (AB + AC + BC)
RECTANGULAR SOLID OF RATIO 1.25 : 1.0 : 0.8
SA = 2 (1.25 + 1.0 + 0.8) = 2 x 3.05 = 6.10
Vol = 1 [ie A x B x C]
If this ratio but actual measures 1.25X, X, 0.8X, then SA = 0.061 x X3, so if X = 100, then
0.061 x 1,000,000 = 61,000.
RECTANGULAR SOLID OF RATIO 1.3333 : 1.0 : 0.75
SA = 2 (1.3333 + 1.0 + 0.75) = 2 x 3.0833 = 6.1666
Vol = 1 [ie A x B x C]
If this ratio but actual measures 1.3333X, X, 0.75X, then SA = 0.061666 x X3, so if X = 100, then
0.0616666 x 1,000,000 = 61,666
RECTANGULAR SOLID OF RATIO 1.5 : 1.0 : 0.6666
SA = 2 (1.5 + 1.0 + 0.6666) = 2 x 3.166 = 6.3333
Vol = 1 [ie A x B x C]
If this ratio but actual measures 1.5X, X, 0.6666X, then SA = 0.063333 x X3, so if X = 100, then
0.063333 x 1,000,000 = 63,333.
SPHERICAL SOLID
RADIUS = r
SA = 4 x pi x r2 = 12.56637 x r2
VOL = 4/3 x pi x r3 = 4.18879 x r3
vol/4.18879 = r3, therefore cube root of vol/4.18879 = r.
SA/12.56637 = r2, therefore square root of SA/12.56637 = r also.
If vol = 100,000, then r = cube root of 100,000/4.18879 = cube root of 23,873.242 = 28.7941
Therefore SA = 12.56637 x 28.79412 = 12.56637 x 829.1002 = 10,418.7798, say 10,420.
IF A SHIP WAS SPHERICAL IT WOULD HAVE MINIMUM SURFACE AREA FOR ITS VOLUME, AND THEREFORE THE MINIMAL REQUIREMENT FOR VOLUME OF HULL AND ARMOR FOR A GIVEN THICKNESS.
HOWEVER, I HAVE BASED MY CALCULATIONS OF HULL AND ARMOR VOLUME BASED ON SHIPS BEING REGULAR RECTANGULAR SOLIDS.
THIS IS FOR TWO REASONS – THIS IS LIABLE TO BE CLOSE TO THEIR ACTUAL SHAPES, AND IT PROVIDES ALLOWANCE FOR ADDITIONAL ARMOUR MATERIAL FOR INTERNAL ARMORING REQUIREMENTS.

Take figure calculated for Surface Area of ship, multiply this by VOL FACTOR for given unit from table above, to give volume of Armor. Mass = 3 x this volume.
POWER ROOMS
For each Screen Generator ÷ 5, there is a Power Room. Add to this a number equal to 2 x 1/10,000 vol of ship to obtain total QTY of power rooms. VOL = 100 per Power Room. MASS = 2 x VOL.
CONDUITS/WAVEGUIDES
VOL = 1/1,000 of ship’s VOL MASS = VOL.
TURBOLIFTS/CORRIDORS
VOL = 1/20 of ship’s VOL Mass = ‘0’.

VOL = 1/100 of ship’s VOL. MASS = 2 x VOL.
LIFE SUPPORT SYSTEM
SIZE A – SMALL – for upto 10 people = VOL 2.
SIZE B – MEDIUM – for upto 30 people = VOL 6.
SIZE C – LARGE – for upto 100 people – VOL 20.
SIZE D – HUGE – for upto 300 people – VOL 40.
Use mixture for in-between number of people.
MI carrying units require allocation of 2 extra SIZE D units for each MI unit that they can carry.
MASS = x 1.
EMERGENCY SYSTEMS/SPARES
VOL = 1/100 of total VOL. MASS = x 1.

SPECIAL NOTES
Supply ships/Tenders can deliver extra Lifepods to a ship going to a passenger pickup situation, as for example a rescue mission.
FIGHTERS have some special things apart from those noted above:
Have Advanced Auto Repair instead of standard Auto Repair.
Have integrated CREW SECTION + SPECIAL LIFEPOD = VOL 80 MASS 160.
Therefore do not have standard crew quarters & facilities, nor Life Support System, Lifepod or Armory. Do not have Turbolifts, so Corridors/Access Ways = VOL 100.
STANDARD SURFACE AREAS FOR VOLUME
ASSUME ALL SHIPS HAVE RATIO OF 1.25 : 1 : 0.8
SA = 2(AB+AC+BC) = 2 x 3.05 = 6.1 VOL = 1.
