6 Ton Fighter

Khan Trav

SOC-12
I may have asked this question before but I am not sure. I use a broadsword/longsword cruiser in my pbem setting a lot. One thing described in broadsword is a cutter rack holding four 6-ton fighters.

Could someone provide more details regarding these little fighters? The fighter rack/module idea seems kinda silly when you could launch a cutter without a fighter module but any other module type and then launch the fighters down the open cutter bay.

This site has so many people with such a variety of talent, someone should have some ideas.
 
HG design, as per CT norms for small craft, rounded against to 0.1Td (noting that fractions may be retained in small craft)
Cockpit 3T (2 seats and a model 1)
Turret 1T
2T between PP, MD, and fuel.

Non-laser versions:
TL7: 2G (0.3Td), PP2 (0.5T), 28 days fuel (0.5T), 0.7Td cargo
TL8: 4G (.7Td), PP4 (1T), 28 days fuel (0.3T)
TL9: 5G (0.9), PP5 (1T), 9 Days fuel (0.1T)
TL13: 6G 1.1T, PP6 (0.8T), 9 Days fuel (0.1T)
TL15: 6G 1.1T, PP6 (0.4T), 28 days fuel (0.3T), 0.2T cargo.

For Laser armed, it's TL15 only...
TL15 PP16 (1T, 1EP), MD5 (0.9T), 2.8 Days fuel (0.1T)
TL15 PP16 (1T 1EP), MD4 (0.7T), 8.4 days fuel (0.3T)
 
Smallcraft have a 1t fuel minimum in HG2.

Also you can get away with a single pilot and model 1, so the cockpit only need to be 1.5t (couches are 0.5t each).

1t for a weapon.

So you have 2.5t to split between m-drive, pp and armour.

Make it m-6 and you have 6% left for armour at TL9-12

At TL13-14 you have 13% for armour.

At TL15 you can have an armour factor of 15 an still have a small % left for a pair of fluffy dice over the view screen.
