Architects fee's...

Mongoose
Search engine is broken it seems, as I'm sure this has been asked before... But are there architects fee's for ship design in MGT? if so, how much?
 
A star? A dim one late in its life cycle prone to flares and potentially ready to go nova at times ;)

You're quite welcome, t'was easy.
 
Another annoying question. Are collapsible or demountable fuel tanks mentioned in the books anywhere. I've been away from my books for a couple of days (grr)
 
Barnest: Which do you mean? Drop Tanks (HG p43) or there's collapsible fuel tanks for converting cargo space, but I forget where they are...
 
I tried to find them in mongoose as well, so I used other rules like T4.
Don't have it in front of me right now, but dismount-able tanks come in two forms. (per T4)
The first is simply a large rigid tank that bolts to the side of a ship (or in a cargo bay) and you can pump fuel directly into the drives. When you remove the tank, you unbolt it, and move the whole thing as one large tank. I think they are 5000 credits per ton.
Then there is the kind I use in all of my designs. They are like a walk-in freezer/cooler in a commercial kitchen. They can be dismantled and stored at the back of a cargo bay, taking 25% of their full space, disassembled and stacked out of the way. They too can pump fuel directly into the drives. They cost 7000 credits/ton and take 1 man hour/ton to remove/install.

Not sure about cost of collapsible, "fuel bags" but they take up 15% of their original space when stowed away, but cannot be used to pump fuel directly into the drives, only refill the normal tanks once they are drained.
 
I thought I heard rumours of them being in Merchant Prince or Traders & Gunboats? Don't have, can't check. Might have been something else. Lookit me! Chock-a-block full-o-help! :lol:

The Spinward Marches book has fuel bladders on page: 108.


Yes, that is the only MGT in which they appear. Unfortunately, it gives no stats or cost for them.

I use MT rules for this.
