It's also a poor fit for a GM and player just learning the rules. Start in the Rift Adventures and then transition to Drinax if you're comfortable with the load from those games and want a more challenging setting.

But is still a working boat and does multiple duty. Now if always visit systems with decent traffic and rescue services available, a 10 launch is fine, as you can just pack everyone into the cargo bay for a day or two. But if you're more adventurous, then the lifeboat pinnace is about compromise...

The Automated Lifeboat from SCC is 5 tons, carries 16 people. Or fit it with 4 MixCorp Emergency AutoBerths and you can carry 20. For a working craft with some emergency low berths, 20 tons, a Lifeboat pinnace would work. You replace some of the cargo space with emergency low berths, 4 tons...

Work on a Fusion Fire & Steel unified construction system maybe, please?!

In the book, the design has armor of 4.8 tons costing .96 MCr, my design here is a correction of that with the correct values. My redesign is my attempt to improve on the original. I have since improved on my labelling of these things but haven't gone to these older designs yet to fix that.

Food is usually considered to be part of stores and spares allocation. For most game needs I think that works fine.

I think abstraction is fine, but currently it's 0 tonnage for those items, and they are mostly accounted for by using the invisible space in various components. Cluster Truck give the ability to do gravity plates for areas you want to add it to, and I think that works well, just needs to add it...

I don't think Barracks need to be strictly military. Evacuation and colony ships could make good use for them. I've never used the Solomani block accommodations so I can't say if it's a better alternative. And giving the Cabin Space the option for long term life support would nicely fix the...

So just pay the extra for life support.

My current idea is using the cabin space 1.5 ton quarters for junior crew; the maintenance, gunners, sensor ops and stewards. pilots, engineers and admins share rooms, and department heads and offices get singles. On larger ships, captains and admirals get high or lux and XOs may get high if lux...

Also, it doesn't need to be a visible dot if you are using an electronic sight or HUD.

The problem here is that by using the effect to affect the thrust rating, you don't ever want to use the more difficult maneuver, since it will result in much lower effect, and therefore lower thrust value to affect your velocity. Which is the opposite of the desired outcome, you want the more...

Updated the opening post but also wanted to add; I'm currently finishing up HG2022 and hope to get it posted soon. All of the base designs are done, HG has surprisingly fewer errors than most of the other books I've looked through. There are still plenty of issues, and only one design, the MK...

Thanks. Don't know that it's that original, but it was just mine online until the mid 2000s when some drug company appropriated it for a drug name. :: sigh::

Me too. The original Maverick Felna jumped almost full form into my head from reading Albedo Anthropomorphics Vol 0 on the way home from the comic store (Comics Utah). I decided Maverick was a stupid name, and didn't fit the setting and so changed to Mavik and that's been my main handle ever...
