Subsystem: Turbolifts

==Subsystem: Turbolifts==
Power Cost: 2
Most starships are big enough that walking from one end to another, not to mention climbing stairs between mulitpul decks, is slow and inconvenient. Class Size 4 and blow can get away with normal walkways (but do not have to), ships of size 5 and above usually need a turbolift transport system. A turbolift system consists of turbolift cars (cylindrical structures made of duranium) which move down vertical and horizontal turboshafts at accelerations approching ten meters per second squared. By using one, a crewmember can go from one end to the other of even the largest ship in a very short period of time. Computer programs ensure that turbolift cars do not collide with each other and take the quickest avilable route to the indicated destination.
==Jefferies Tubes==
Power Cost: 0
The crew also needs ways to move behind pannels to acces systems bured deep in the ship's infrastructure. Jefferies tubes, as the standard access tunnels and utilites corridors on starships are known, network the entire ship. They're small- a full-grown adult has to crawl through them but with enough time a perserance a crewmember could crawl anywhere on the ship through them.
