So THAT's what I overlooked... Yep, that makes a yacht with living
amenities totally legal. Although one problem I still have with living
amenities is that the number of people it's for doesn't figure into the
space it takes up; LA for 100 people apparently only takes up 200 CF an
100 kg... (Or am I missing yet another thing here?)

Obviously, and the kind of yachts I was thinking about (and which the PCs
tried to steal during yesterday night's game -- and failed so miserably
that it might make a good revival of the Dumb Things thread :) tend to
have plenty of sun decks and other stuff like that.

In that case I think I'll go tinker with CORPS Vehicle Design System to
see if I can come up with a bunch of conversion stats to create big ships
in SR that fit with the ship stats in Cyberpirates.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction :)
