Regarding commercial jump tenders... What on earth (or off of it) do you guys suggest filling them up with to get them to the required size?
I was thinking of putting a bunch of fuel and maintenance supplies on them, letting them act as forward tankers and supply ships... but they get really expensive really fast doing that.
Any other thoughts? It seems kind of silly to have to pad out an enormous hull; you'd think you could just have most of it be empty space and call it good.
If I put cargo spaces or colonists on them, can other ships transfer stuff to them for others to pick up? I don't recall seeing any way to do that.
Cargo holds are the cheapest cost/space. You might also consider a troop bay or two. No, there's no cross-decking allowed for cargo or passengers (but there is for troops).
