50ton Modular Cutter

[Brian Smaller]

Hi Chaps
Start pics of my next deckplan. My go at a modular cutter. I am not sure that it is scaled right, but I am not particularly worried. More pics over at

Thanks for the deck plans and the link to your blog. Can't wait to see what other gifts you'll drop on us.

Shiny! I like the drive access conduit. It makes sense to have a way to get to the drives when the module's out.

Nicely done Brian, and many thanks for sharing such !

Question if I may, could the drive access conduit (spine) be so constructed that such could 'retract' to carry specific sized modules other than the standard sections commonly employed ?

My meaning is if the spine could shorten it's length then say a more compact 'section' could be used giving the basic vehicle wider capacity for different roles and applications.

Utilizing said specialized modules* might allow the cutter to operate in 20, 30 or 40ton configurations, hence making such a versatile craft quite a bargain for a starship operator to obtain.

*20ton 'hot rod' launch (emergency response package)
*30ton 'fast' ship's boat (shuttle-bus or box-truck)
*40ton 'fast' pinnace (with deployable wings)

Hmmmm. Food for thought. Will ponder that one. Knock me up some High Guard stats and I'll give it a crack.
