This is very cool; should work for caviar, cigars, or any other delicacy!

Any other "gotta haves" for a corporate or nobleman's yacht?

I just finished plans for 600dt gold brick and have a bunch of space left over.
 
A similar idea I used once was a variation of the lowberth to perfectly preserve delicacies indefinitely. This with the high tech version of the lowberth that relies on gravisonics (MT) to "freeze" the contents without molecular damage rather than chemical antifreeze, drugs, and ultralow temperatures of the low tech version. So the noble can have fresh whatever whenever and wherever. Just hit the restore button and the door opens after cycling, remove the item(s) of choice and hit the button to close the door and the unit cycles back on to maintain the remaining contents. Like a high tech fridge


Oh, stats? 0.25tons for under-counter model Cr25,000 installed. Double that for full size model. No life support costs as it's not for use on living matter.

Here ya go . . .

There is a four ton walk-in humidor that uses a revolving door airlock to keep the proper atmosphere inside the room. TL-10 Cr 650,000

Of course, your big game hunter would snort with derision and say something like, "It can't reproduce the fear when the animal can really turn and kill you!"

Hey how about going one further, Zero-G Hot Tub Suite.
 
Have you included the obligatory ballroom with transparent floor (or at least can be made transparent) so one can look down on the planet you're orbiting? (Stolen from Iain M. Banks' Against a Dark Background, though in the book it's in a mountain retreat, not a ship.)

-John
 
^ John, I have already stolen the inverted observation sphere from Dr. Doom's space station in the FF movie. It's a big chunk of glass (or transparent aluminum or handwavium, etc.) It is currently strapped to the bottom of my 600dt yacht as sort of a 70dt hood ornament.

I guess the real question is what would you expect to find as extras in a luxury yacht?
 
The wallpaper can change colors to suit your decorating needs.
The ship’s computer should have a robot brain you can talk to.
A very expensive TL-15 Pseudo Bio should be on hand for the Ooooo look how rich he is factor.
There should be a mandatory trophy/music/artifact room that can be used to push the plot along and provide an opportunity for larceny.

Some might have a “Kennedy” room with a velvet sofa, 24/7 Barry white music and beaded curtains.

A gravball court would be an enormous waste of money and space.

Billiards room.

Can we say swimming pool? How many tons, good lord.
 
How about a full Vilani Kitchen! Plus the regular one.
“Hey how about going one further, Zero-G Hot Tub Suite.”

The water is contained in a layer? How would that work?
 
Kurega, your pseudo-bio should have some feature that makes it obvious its a robot, though. That way, nobody can go away thinking its not a robot. You know, it would be something that ordinary (read: practical) people would wonder, "Why didn't they just do that part, too? Not like it would have cost significantly more." Maybe clearly robotic eyes in a perfectly formed, Appearance-14, "flesh" face.

Swimming pool, definitely. For the not quite so rich, you could use gravitics to make one of those little pools that flows, so you can swim a "mile" while never moving.

0-G Hot-tub? How would that work, Brain? I would think you would drown....

How about reverse grav plates on the ceiling and floor? At some point in between there is zero-G but their is a gravity gradient as you move away from the middle that keeps the water (but not people) in a layer in the middle. maybe a set of poles,/bars so you can pull yourself in and out of the hot tub.

Of course! A gourmet kitchen is a must. The finest rare stone used in the counter tops. Maybe even an open grill with all the expensive associated ventilation to properly vent an open fire in a starship. Just think of the ships oxygen it would consume.

IYTU do nobles play polo? If the ship is big enough how about a field with real grass (and stables of course). A quick calculation, a 100m by 25m field is only about 550 tons. ;)

Good idea.
How about one that can change its appearance. Male to female up and down by 10% skinny to fat. Hair from natural to like a fiber optic Christmas tree all right before you very eyes. It could do imitations of the guests in caricature.
 
Nobody's mentioned my favorite yet. An arboretum. You want to talk a huge amount of space for no purpose other than beauty? Then you want a large area of soaring space with rare and special trees. Of course you'll need some caretakers, and lots of extra lifesupport units, and artificial daylight cycles, and rain machinery suitable to the species. You probably need a half dozen different seperate ones of course so you can have Tropical Rainforest, Desert Oasis, Deciduous Plains, Mountain Conifers, etc., etc.,


Unless your fancy runs toward fauna rather than flora :D

Or both :D

I think you need a bigger ship my Lord, may we interest you in our Starburst class...
 
^Damn spiffy!
An orchid garden under the shade of oak trees with a gold fountain gushing something like Champagne.

I feel a ducal yacht coming on. Something around 2000 tons perhaps.

I feel like this ship would have real mahogany paneling with lots of shiny stuff.

You do the stats and I'll strip the interior of my 1000dt and weld two together (no inter-atmo capability, sorry). Just tell me what goodies you want inside! Stables? Speeder garage? Holo-vid theatre? Office space? Vault(s)? Exotic med suites (for elderly clientele)? Big comp for all that data storage? What have you!

But try to think luxury; staterooms, even for guests, should be huge (9-12m2 atleast)! The crew may even have a little extra room in comparison to merchy or military crews.

I would think that one might get it shut down, depending on your guests....

Yeah, that might be an interesting way of doing it... What would be the gain from that, though? What kind of different sensation/ advantages/ etc. would flow from a big ball of water in the middle of your tub room? It might make conversations easier in a large group, as you could just duck out of one, and come up in another...
