There is currently a bug whereby their contents - i.e. maintenance supply points - are provided for free, 'out of thin air' if you will. That bug will be fixed for the next edition and you will have to build the supplies to go into the bay.I checked on this when it was first posted, and as far as I could tell, EarthquakeDamage was correct - the mineral cost of the ship (in the lower left window) doesn't claim to go up when you add an MSB. Whether this is a display bug or a bug in the data tables I don't know. [Pause] Ok, I just took a look, and it's simply a bug in the DB entries - all the mineral costs are zero'd out. Command Module is wrong too - it costs 2.5 but uses 1 Dur and 2 Merc (3 total).
I think I'll post something in the bugs thread....
