My designs for Firefly ships

Here are some ships I loosely guesstimated from Firefly, which I morphed into Traveller ships using T5's ACS draft.

I wish I could do an image capture of the ships...

Each of these traders is a TL11 design, and has a standard sensor and computer suite, consisting of:
  • One model/3 computer
  • Improved (+2) Commo
  • Basic (-2) EMS

All except the 100t trader also has a Prototype (-4) Visor (vision screen).


Code:
Small Trader, from the pilot episode.

100t  Hull, Streamlined
 10   Bridge
 10   J-drive-A (J2)
  2   M-drive-A (M2)
  4   P-plant-A (P2) (100Mj)
 22   Fuel
  8   Staterooms, crew (3)
 20   Staterooms, pass (5)
  2   Low berths (4)
 24   Cargo

Code:
Trader, from the pilot episode.

 300t  Hull, streamlined

   3   M-drive-B (M1)
  10   P-plant-C (P2) (300Mj)
  64   Fuel
  12   Staterooms, crew (3)
  48   Staterooms, pass (12)
   4   Low berths (8) 
 119   Cargo

Code:
Short Range Scow/cargo hauler from "Bushwhacked".

 600t  Hull, non-streamlined
   20  Bridge
   20  J-drive-C (J1)
    5  M-drive-C (M1)
   10  P-plant-C (P1) (300Mj)

  22   P-plant-G (P2) (700Mj)

  64   Staterooms, pass (16)

The next two are even less accurate, Traveller-wise; I didn't use the smallcraft rules, and haven't seen the "Battle"-class shipbuilding rules.

Code:
Alliance Carrier ('original' design, not the wrecked version) from the pilot episode.

  20,000*t  Hull, close  (* more or less 20kt...)
     400   Combat bridge
   1,600   Armor-8
     800   Jump-3
   1,000   Maneuver-2
   1,000   Power-5
   6,800   Fuel
   5,000   Bays (50)
     250   Crew (120)
