[Shipyard] Type A2 Far Trader

[robject]

I might not have this design right...


Far Trader A2-BS12 Empress Marava MCr52.6


Using the type 200 streamlined flotation hull, the far trader is capable of 1-G acceleration and jump-2. Fuel tankage is 44 tons, and the ship incorporates fuel scoops for gas giant skimming, and intakes for water refueling. The bridge is standard and has a computer Model 1/bis installed. Two tons of fire control support the ship's two turrets. The ship has ten staterooms (three for the crew; seven for the passengers) and four low berths. The owner's quarters are luxurious, with four full tons in addition to a private fresher. A single air/raft is carried (in cargo) for various surface duties. Cargo capacity is 61 tons.

Flotation is new...
The CT version only has 3 crew, 7 warm passengers, and 4 frozen. You've got 10 and 4, plus 3 crew. But you've still got MORE cargo... (64 instead of 61)

I think there's only 7 passenger states, but yeah, the flotation bit was a wild hair. Overall the design follows more closely with the Mongoose Traveller version than the LBB2 version. The lower maneuver fuel usage and bridge construction (MGT and T5 share a common ancestor with both) is what gives us all that extra space to worry about.

Will it's hull look a touch different to the standard far traders?

Rob, I take it you decided that the "spacious owner's cabin" (Supplement 7, p23) is really just a regular cabin?

Ah, there's something I want to put back in.
