Plans for a 200t Radial Ship?

[dayriff]

Hi. My players have acquired a 200 ton Hiver ship, which I have described as having a radial symmetry and looking vaguely like the conception of a "flying saucer" (including a central tower). Anyone know of any deck plans already out there for a ship like that?

Thanks.

You're in luck - just ran across this 200dton Survey/Contact Ship last night! Not MGT, but T4 stats look like they might correlate - and pretty nice Deck Plans!

Awesome. I can tweak this a little, and it should work great. Thanks.

I think I would have put the drives in the center of the lower deck with the Cargo/Passengers around them. The crew would use the upper deck. Better security that way.

The turret would be mounted on the very top and would be the bump seen on the standard flying saucer design.

The passengers could, by their closer proximity to the drives, sabotage the drives, or initiate the security system by remote control and infiltrate the ventilation system with gas to incapacitate the crew or something.

Putting the drives in the axial centre line would, however, allow the ship to ride on its drives: vertical, in this case, would equate with the direction of thrust, meaning that crew and passengers could easily walk about without need for grav plates, unless the ship had to evade or something - in which case everyone would have to strap themselves into crash webs or something.

As I mentioned, my ship is a Hiver ship so I will need to do some mods anyway. I think mine has eight cabins and two concealed turrets. It is also armored, though not as armored as the PCs first thought. (Some of the "armor" is a very cleverly concealed secret cargo hold.)
