This is the planned replacement for Step 5 of the Random Starships generator:
Step 5: Determine Facilities
For each facility the ship has, roll 2D6 on the relevant column of the systems table followed by another 2D6 roll on the indicated subsystems table. If a ship cannot mount the generated facility due to restrictions on size or number of facilities, this is treated as an Emergency Stores Cargo facility, if that too cannot be mounted, the facility is lost (do not reroll).
In addition, all ships have one Emergency Stores Cargo facility.
Note: As all ships are huge affairs, cargo and passangers can be stored in all manner of places even without dedicated cargo holds. A ship has a base cargo capacity eqivalent to a number of Secondary Cargo Holds, with that number being 0.5 x its maximum number of normal facilities plus 1 x its maximum number of vast facilities.
