Ship Catalog: Xboat Route Transports

This is a list of large freighters, mainly from The Traveller Adventure and The Spinward Marches Campaign, converted to T5's draft "Adventure-Class Ships" format. In the case of the SMC, which listed bogus stats for its ship(s), extra creative license was required. In all cases, a little flexibility was needed to adapt them to T5.

Assumptions:
</font>

• All ships are assumed to have J-4, M-1.</font>
• All ships are assumed to have enough stewards to handle 2/3 of the staterooms with high passengers.</font>

Translation Notes:
</font>

• T5's Drive-Stacking rule requires a one-ton coupler for each stacked drive.</font>
• Hangar size is double the volume of its vehicles.</font>
• Standard "transport" sensor suite is no extra volume or cost.</font>
• Standard computer is no extra volume or cost.</font>

Deckplanning

If I were to do deckplans for these ships, I think I'd try to take a modular approach: I'd build standard blocks of staterooms (4, 8, and 12, perhaps). The engine room, hangar, and bridges might just be great cavernous things. And, I'd not show fuel and cargo.

Maybe sort of like these:

Where, oh where can I find a playtester's set of T5 rules?
