Leviathan-class Merchant Cruiser

[Golan2072]

As my next campaign is going to use the setting outlined in CT's A4: Leviathan, I've designed (and re-imagined) the good ol' Leviathan using the MGT rules.

Note that ratings have double occupancy while officers get single staterooms.

Passenger Liner?

 

[Golan2072]

More of an exploratory trader than a passenger liner. Its main role is to explore new areas, find new markets and open new trade routes; it would make a poor liner (only 14 passengers for a 1,800-ton ship) because it is geared for exploration first and serious passenger traffic second.

 

[Techno-Guru]

Ah, thanks for pointing that out. Missed the stats on the sensors. I was going to mention that the hull tonnage sounded pretty good for a light or medium freighter except for the hold size but... yeah I missed that.

I'm still not that fond of Traveller's construction times: if your typical port can construct a Tigress, they should be able to churn out something like the Leviathan in less than a year.
