The abilities of the Venturer...

[Kage2020]

One problem that you're going to run into is space, at least as coming from the RPG side of things.  With BFG there isn't such a limitation since there is no concern with modeling this level of detail, but for the RPG it is most certainly present.

At present, though, "robofactories" should derive from the Habitat section, so will not be the fully flesh "Robot Factory" presented in the original concept and which was subsequently discarded.

As to representing the differences in abilities, the only real way to do that is to moderate the type of weaponry.  See the RPG thread for a description of the options that might be available.

Well, I don't know too much about the implications of having a robofactory in the habitat section as opposed to the original robot factory. All I need to know is whether we can model the ship so that the vast empty sections of the M41-Venturer that are used to carry cargo could have been the location of advanced factories in the M24-version. If it doesn't have all the perks, bells and whistles of the full robot factory, that's alright. We can imagine that those are reserved for Mechanicus factory ships, for example, or perhaps just even bigger colonisation vessels fomr the M24-period.

There is still one slot in the Front Hull, at least based on the RPG statistics discussed in the other thread, and this can quite readily be another cargo hold, for a total capacity of something like 300,000 tons...

Which translates to how many cubic meters? 300,000?
