Heh... I was also about to post Kinunir stats myself, so you beat me to it. Never mind, your stats are just fine

Anyhow, shouldn't it also have a Black Globe?

Yes, but my version doesn't have space.

EDIT: And I recall hearing that some versions had them taken out.

Mongoose's Traders and Gunboats has a "Colonial Cruiser" that looks amazingly like a Kinunir for MGT. No BGG though... It has a Meson Bay and Meson Screens.

Nice design, though the armour rating at 18 is to high, should it be 15, as the max level of armour is the tech level of the ship, according to the high guard rules anyway. ( i'm probably just being picky). Do you plan to do floor plans for this design?

Yeah, I'd give it a bay. After all, a ship usually needs to have enough firepower to crack a target with as much armor as itself, as its equivalent enemy craft will probably have similar armor.

I do not do floor plans, but they would be much like the one in the CT supplement.

Good catch on the armor. I'd need to take it out, and then redo the armament to replace a couple laser turrets with the meson bay and the screen, if there's room.

On the outside. It's not the oddest deckplan in T&G, but that's not saying much.

...

Major B has done an updated version of the deckplans (based on Mega Traveller stats, but it could be used for any version).

Its very cool and highly detailed.

I would like a link if you please.

 

[Dave Chase]

I would be happy to give you a link, but I am banned from CotI.
I don't think Major B hangs out here.


Tell him hello for me,

my name is not mentioned over them much because they might get banned for it.

10 triple turrets: 6 tons, 20 MCr

Since you listed the cost of the weapons separately, and since each hardpoint takes 1 ton and each triple turret costs MCr1, shouldn't it be:

10 triple turrets: 10 tons, 10 MCr

?

I thought that the size of turrets went down with TL?

After checking MGT-HG, I found that you're correct. I guess I was thinking too much along the CT lines...

You might also want to add it Expert Navigator, Expert Pilot and Expert Engineering programs, so that these functions may be automated if desired. Of course, standard procedure will probably be to have a human in charge of every subsystem, but an automatic backup would be handy.

Sure ... but where are those programs from?

 

[Rikki Tikki Traveller]

The software is listed on TMB page 92-93.

Expert, Intellect and Security Programs are all listed. There is also a nice shaded box about how these programs work and can aid characters.

Oh yeah, the personal programs. I hadn't thought about those; they're not listed as having ship-scale equivalents.

Maybe I should go through and see about that; after all, I'd been thinking that the ship program list was a bit limited.

 

[Golan2072]

Ship computers are fully capable of running normal computer software as well.

 

[Rikki Tikki Traveller]

You wouldn't be creating ship-sized versions of the programs, you would be using the ship's computer to run these personal programs to replace crew positions.

I figure the an Expert/Astrogation with your Jump Control program is the equivalent to GENERATE in CT.
