First, count me in on the ship design contest.
Eamon makes a good point about the life support in FF&S-1. I've always pictured it as not only including air and water recycling but also to include a small galley ((well if you calla microwave and a two burner hot plate a galley) and a small area for food storage, I've always assumed 30 days/ person.
I also found FF&S-2 to go into greater detail on this. It has various sized galleys, food types, food storage at different tech levels and includes hydroponic food production. Everything from-I'd rather ear my boots-gruel tanks to colony life support to scrub air, water, and other human byproducts, and production of foods.
I'm looking forward to the specs of the ship, it sounds like you have the makings of two different ships, a diplomatic and first contact ship, something that both the Regency and Coalition could desperately use and a snooper/scout-survey vessel with some real punch.
