Custom Ship: 1000-dTon Scout Cruiser

[Black Vulmea]

Myself, I prefer the TL15 version for the jump-4.

The original TL D scout cruiser in EA5 is based on Gateway Domain circa 993 to 1000, a century before the "classic," "Golden Age" OTU. It seems reasonable that if IISS liked the design that they would upgrade it to TL E or F in the intervening years.

That said, IMTU the TL D Norton Qasar-class is an out-of-date design compared to the Donnies, in service past its prime, retained for deep-space exploration along the trailing frontier due to its long legs.

Why? What was their reasoning?

In CT and MT most of the IISS was built on TL12 and designed to be easily supported outside the Imperium. TL15 was much rarer in the Third Imperium.

In MT every design is TL15 because DGP broke the ship construction system. Source MT Imperial Encyclopedia.

In CT the scout is TL9, the tender is TL10 and the xboat is TL10. Source S:7 T&G
