AKAramis has been having fun at my expense. He supposes that the Starfury is no more than 10 tons displacement. I accept the challenge.
Grapple: Craft are assumed to have a grapple. So there.
Fuel: One ton of fuel is excessive, so the Afterburner burns it directly when engaged.
M-Drive-1/2A: This is a one-ton M-drive, courtesy of Ken Pick. I've allocated half of its potential to Agility and half to Acceleration.
Afterburner: This is a reaction drive, built into the Starfury M-drive. When used, it burns 0.1 ton of fuel each turn, and doubles the craft's agility or acceleration for that turn.
Plasma weapons: I've postulated two plasma cannons, at relatively low TLs and low power. I honestly don't know what to do with them.
Fire-linked weapons: I decided the way to do this close to Traveller is to list fire-linked weapons as a single gun, when in reality it's a battery of two guns. This allowed me to preserve the single-double-triple turret motif of Traveller and still have a Starfury.
Power: Since I made up the M-drive-Zero and use so-called "low power" plasma weapons, this ship can fire its major weapons all day for all I care. However, firing all four weapons all the time will deplete its batteries in 12 turns.
