I'm still tinkering with the patrol boat, but I wondered if it will answer my original question. The more logical way would be to build a starship with a fairly high crew-to-size ratio -- a patrol boat will do, or a scout/exploration vessel, or a courier -- and then increase and decrease the crew quarters while keeping all other performance the same. That is, design a ship with double-occupancy cabins for the crew and a decent sickbay, then swap the cabins for bunks and the operating room for an automed. Reduce the volume total volume, reduce the engine power, and so on. Then make it single-occupancy luxury cabins, increase the total volume, increase the engine power, and so on.

Does that make sense?
