15 ton small craft (RV) Cepheus/SRD/MgT1

Assuming evolution and author intent, then the prevailing basis for engineering formulations would be Tee Five.

Assuming you can figure out it's intricacies.

Not necessarily. The first edition of the game had antiquated tech/engineering and MgT had it. I'm sure T5 has it as Marc is probably not an eng/sci guy by training but probably something like a history/psychology type of guy. Which is why he wrote an RPG that is popular.

Ya just have to fix what is behind the times in each edition. Like drone TL requirements being about 3-4 TLs too high

??? WHAT? Reread EXACTLY what I wrote.

I read it. Care to be more specific with whatever your critique is?

I never bought MgT2 to see if they were corrected there.

Basically unchanged, as far as I can remember. Still, ahum, quirky.

Om another note. CE/MgT HG capital ship design rules can be used with smaller ships as they published small craft using Capital ship design elements like aero fins. This is for someone (forgot who) who said one could NOT use SRD HG rules to design a J1 drive for 100t ship as it was HG capital ship design rules.

MgT has three distinct ship design systems separated by size: Small Ships (Core), Capital Ships (HG), and Small Craft (HG). In addition there is a chapter in HG with components for all spacecraft called "Spacecraft Options".

Each system has brief rules for what components can be included from other systems, except the Core system since the other systems did not exist when it was written.

Hence the Core System can't use Capital Ship System drives, and the Capital Ship System can't be used to build 100 Dt ships since it starts at 2001 Dt ships.

Note that Aerofins is from the Spacecraft Options chapter and is available in all design systems, it has nothing to do with the Capital Ship System.


Yes, it is ridiculous, but that is unfortunately RAW. If you use Capital Ship percentage drive in a small ship it would be a house-rule.

This isn't helpful, honestly.

It takes two to tango in conversations, and, especially on the internet in a medium as dry and limited as a casual text posts, things get lost.

People talk past each other all the time on forums such as this. It's usually helpful when the boats are sailing apart to tack a bit and try to get closer.

Yes, it is.

Just assume for the moment that I've linked the Monty Python "Argument Sketch" here.

No, you haven't.
Oh, I'm sorry, just one moment. Is this a five minute argument or the full half hour?

Yes he has. A 20 minute argument

Oh well then I guess I'm right at least for IMTU and can merrily fly along ignoring whatever snark you got going on here.

This class of small craft is also often found on large yachts. For side trips to places of interest in the system or as a way for one group to split off from the mother craft and do their own thing.
