There is already something like this, that I'm not sure if you've noticed yet or not. The small starliner with standard bridge is the low-tech model for transporting population, and is slow and expensive and so on. With research into ship construction and/or cargo and/or starliner modules, however, you can use the "Basic Bridge," "Basic Life Support," and "Starliner Module" components, and also transport hulls will about 30% maintenance reduction, to reduce costs of pop transports. Higher levels of research allow more population to be stuffed onto ships of different sizes, too. It does take some time to develop this technology, of course.

Or did you already know about all that, and think there should be more to reduce the maintenance costs?

Thks PvK, indeed I didn't know - I play a PBW Proportion 2.1 game but never dived into 2.2 !

Anyway my idea was to generally reduce costs of Liners even without any high tech just to see faster colony development, and those low maint/combat unable comps looked right, and simpler than the "module" system. But I have to experience it more before talking again
