Doom of the Singing Star-Old Judges Guild "module"

[Lyrell'e]

Now, module is a bit of an understatement as in many ways this product could be considered a starliner version of the Azhanti High Lightning game or Element Cruiser Blueprints. It was magnificent in many ways, and while it would need to be updated (Was for Classic Traveller) I was wondering something. I have seen physical copies at a few places but does anyone know if a PDF version of Doom of the Singing Star exists?

It looks like Far Future dot net has it on their Judges Guild & More cdrom, Apocrypha #2. $35 for the bundle though.

 

[GypsyComet]

Sure, but that bundle is loaded.

OK maybe dumb question, but ... why would it need to be updated?
I feel like conversion of LBB to MgT2 is about as effortless as conversion gets.

 

[Sigtrygg]

It is worth mentioning that the Singing Star deck plans, like the original AHL plans, are tower block like and can therefore be used as game maps with counters or minis at the gaming table, unlike the Element class cruiser plans.

As to conversion... doesn't really need it.

 

[Saladman]

If you were expecting to get into ship to ship combat and you wanted it to be "fair" by tonnage you might choose to rebuild it under 2e High Guard so it wasn't under-optimized. For anything short of that I agree, just use as is and you'll be fine.

 

[GypsyComet]

As a civilian design, it is allowed to be under-optimized. Even at 10% hard point utilization, no garden-variety pirate dares approach it.

"She's grossly under-armed. We can take her."
"Lieutenant, she's still got 20 turrets pointing in any given direction. Have you counted ours recently?"

iirc it's 5 large sheets of deckplans... maybe double sided?
Just the look on players' faces when they've been screwing around in their little 200t far trader table map and they end up on the Singing Star or her sisters and I lay out map...after map....after map....and point out that the coreship has 100+ decks and the moduleships 50? (iirc it was 1 core ship + 1 module?)

I thought it had 3 moduleships arranged in a triaxial alignment around the core ship?

 

[Sigtrygg]

It does.
The core ship is
AF-N351563-006600-004E9-6 36,117 Tons

a typical moduleship is
AT-L311153-005500-00300-0 13,363 Tons

the combined ship is one coreship carrying three moduleships
AN-R431363-005500-002E9-6 76,266 Tons

I *has* been ...30 years at least since I read it.
