Jame's Hyperdrive Freighter Store

[Jame Rowe]

I would like to make up a few vessels using the hyperdrive rules provided in the core rulebook.

All of the following are produced by Selena Shipyards Limited and each are intended as configurable designs, which means that they can be set up to meet each individual purchaser's desires (for a base 10% extra charge if not using the standard design).

Here is my attempt at a hyperdrive-using 400 ton freighter.
TL 12.
400 ton streamlined self-sealing hull. Hull 8, structure 8, armor 0, cost MCr 21.6.
Hyperdrive B, 30 tons, 20 MCr.
Manuever drive D, 7 tons, 16 MCr.
Power plant D, 13 tons, 32 MCr.
Fuel, 16 tons. Allows 4 weeks operation between refuellings.
Bridge, 20 tons, 2 MCr.
Computer, Model/2, rating 10, 0.3 MCr. Built at TL 12.
Electronics, basic military (sans Jammers), 2 tons, 1 MCr.
13 staterooms, 52 tons, 6.5 MCr.
9 Low berths, 4.5 tons, 4.5 MCr.
4 double turrets, 4 tons, 2 MCr.
4 beam lasers, 4 MCr.
2 missile racks, 1.5 MCr.
2 sandcasters, 0.5 MCr.
Lifeboat, 20 tons, 14 MCr.
Air/Raft, 4 tons, 0.275 MCr.
13 Escape Pods, 6.5 tons, 1.3 MCr
Software, Intellect, Rating 10, 1 MCr
Jump Control 2, Rating 10, 0.2 MCr
Fire Control 1, rating 5, 2 MCr
Library, Rating 0, no price.
Manuever Control, Rating 0, no price.
220 tons cargo.

This particular freighter model is designed for frontier operation, and although it is based off of the old Akkigish Fat Trader model of Jump-Drive freighter, it is slightly faster. It has greater endurance, which allows it to provide services over a fairly long trade route.

[Rikki Tikki Traveller]

I like these designs, keep them coming!

It is good to see people using the optional drive rules and comparing them to the "standard" traveller design.

 

[Jame Rowe]

I will. Just gotta make a few more, and get the energy to put my warship designs up (I'm going to put those up last though).

The 400 ton corsair is intended as a commerce-raiding, quick-strike vessel that will attack enemy civilian shipping. The “civilian” version lacks armor and a bay, as it is not intended to stand up to any enemy combatants. It has enough space to hold a 200 ton trader depending on configuration. The military version has light armor and a missile bay, sacrificing some cargo space to provide enough structure to provide time to make a quick strike while escaping—the theory is that the military version could make an attack run with the bay weapon in the hopes of confounding the enemy enough for long enough to allow the vessel to escape. In addition, the military corsair is designed to act as an escort in a fleet action, using its bay weapon to inflict damage to destroyer- and cruiser-sized vessels and force them out of the fight while their allied heavy ships concentrate on the enemy battle line.
