Type-P 1000 Ton Passenger Ship
- Thread starter Jame
- Start date
My take on this is to splice an Air/Raft into the middle of a Speeder, and enclose the passenger compartment with a 4Td Modular Base (and combine all the costs and capacities --- it's 6Td and has room for driver, 5 passengers, and 4000kg payload.) Did up the numbers once but don't recall where. Either that or re-skin a GCarrier as something with less armor but more power.
Everyone's deck plans vanished if they were linked from the image subform when the site changed from vbulletin to xenforo a few years back.

The Bright Wander class frontier liner is one of a number of rugged liner types that ply the frontiers of the Imperium. This class is fairly common in the Spinward Marches and the Trojan Reach. In the Reach, several of these ply the trade routs between the Imperium and the clans of the Aslan Heirate.

Why such a large passenger capacity but so little cargo capacity?
I'm trying to think of conditions under which 10 high passengers, 91 middle passengers and 30 low passengers is a reasonable expectation for interstellar transport services.
That level of passenger capacity makes sense when looking at Hi Pop <-> Hi Pop if you're wanting to do a complete manifest turnover at every (star)port of call ... but you aren't going to be able to get away with that level of service demand from Non-industrial (and Low Pop) worlds ... unless if you've got a trade route that travels to a Known List™ of destinations.
If you've got a defined trade route (as opposed to operating on a tramp basis), you can sell tickets to any of your future destinations every time you berth at a starport. So instead of having an Origin 1 -> Destination 1 type of operation, you've got something more like Origin 1 -> Destinations 1-11 going on (like an interstellar public train service deal). In THAT kind of operation, I can imagine being able to keep your passenger manifest "full" on a continuous rolling basis (hope your Purser enjoys bookkeeping!), even if touring through relatively under populated regions between major population hub(s).
One thing that does feel ... risky ... looking at the design, is that I'm worried about the vulnerability to hijacking.
With up to 10+91=101 passengers (high+middle) versus 9 crew ... I would be concerned about the crew's ability to resist a hijacking attempt by even a "modest" number of passengers (10-20). Have you considered adding a complement of Ship's Troops who can act as onboard security in case passengers get ... unruly?
After all, if this ship is meant to ply the frontiers as you've specified, not everyone who comes aboard is necessarily going to be "well behaved" at all times (ah reckon...).
Nice starship ya got there.
Be a shame if anything happened to it ...

My ship isn't modular, but that's a nice deckplan.

i believe they are flykillers
Yes they are. They are of another ship.
