Bioplastic Construction[Efficacy: 4]
Somewhere, the CEO of what was once a toy company just passed out from becoming too wealthy. While not every metallic component of a starship can be replaced with plastic, and there are a lot of things that could be replaced but shouldn't, there's a significant portion of vessel construction that your engineers are able to replace without much loss of integrity. There's likely more that can be replaced with the use of specialized polymers, but the current deployment is reasonably effective.
Bioplastic Construction: A doctrine of replacing non-essential metal parts with plastic replacements during starship construction enables you to replace 25% of a ship hull's base M cost with O. This is an option you can declare at the time of a ship's construction.
CargoMaster B Pattern[Efficacy: 5] -5% discount
Base: 4067 * 0.95 = 3864So, the PaceMaster might be a death trap that strikes a chord of fear within even the maddest Gaian engineer- but there is an upshot. You don't exactly have to spring for top quality parts. Radiation buffers can be purchased second hand, RCS fuel can be markedly impure, and it's not like you really need top quality investment in onboard amenities- since any use of the electrical system is generally forbidden on captain's orders for fear of accidentally initiating a reactor purge.

Galactica Pattern[Efficacy: 1] +10% markup
Base: 17027.5-> 17028 roundup * 1.11 = 18731The Galactica pattern, however, suffers from the opposite problem of the CargoMaster pattern. Instead of being able to cheaply source components, the engineering consultants have apparently managed to convince the requisition committees to throw in all the spinning rims, as well as finance a considerable amount of at-cost commemorative memorabilia designed to 'enhance public morale' and 'memorialize the greatest achievements of humanity'. Such memorabilia, distributed with each launched vessel, includes bioplastic scale models of the Expedition vessels, Honeybee drone toys with fully moveable parts and a shockingly functional mini arc-welder, and an entire wardrobe of wearable merch commemorating aerospace engineering.
