800 ton probe ship

parmasson

SOC-14 1K
The Grays are androgynous bipeds from the X system.
Standing 1.2- 1.4 meters high with gray skin.
Here is their ship. I have installed three, thirty ton labs and 100 low berths to start. What else would we find on it? We have 206 tons to fill!

Traveller(c) Starship Design
---------------------------------------

Watcher (Probe class class)

The Watcher is based on a 800T, custom hull. It mounts jump drive H, maneuver drive D, and power plant H, giving a performance of jump-2 and 1-G acceleration. Fuel tankage for 180 tons supports the power plant allowing for 1 jump-2 and 4 weeks of operation. Adjacent to the bridge is a computer Model/5.

Shape is a multi deck saucer of course! :D

The ship has the following accommodations:
30 stateroom(s)
100 low berth(s)
The ship has 4 hardpoints and 4 tons allocated to fire control. Installed on the hardpoints are:
4 triple turret(s)
The turret(s) are armed with:
3 pulse laser(s)
6 beam laser(s)
3 missile launcher(s)
There are 3 ship's vehicles:
2 launch(s)
1 g-carrier(s)
Cargo capacity is 296 tons. The hull is not streamlined. The ship is not subsidized.

The Watcher requires a minimum crew of 9:
1 pilot
1 navigator
2 engineer(s)
1 medic
4 gunner(s)

The ship costs MCr352.15 (not including discounts and fees) and takes 28 months to build.

Bovine Processing Facility: 10 tons, MCr1.5
(Needed for cattle mutilations)

Crop Circle Generator: 5 tons, MCr6
Works on wheat. Upgrading to a corn circle generator requires an additional 3 tons/2MCr

Sound Effects Generator: 2 tons, MCr1
Moog Synthesizer, or Theremin. Higher Tech level versions weigh 0.1kg and cost Cr5.

:D
 
TL-15 Sickbay - for human genetic experimentation and placement of tracking devices in humans: 8 tons, MCr8.

TL-16 Turret mounted reverse repulsor (trackor beam) to lift into the cargo bay cars driving in the dead of night on unlit back roads somewhere in the desert: 1 Ton: MCr3.
 
Electromagnetic pulse weapon for disabling pickup trucks and police radios.
Both installed in Turret #3.
1 ton .5 MCr

That's freeking awsome! I'm side is still hurting. ;)

I would also put in a major flaw in the m-drive or navigation system. It can ONLY land in desolate farms at night...
 
Do Grays need staterooms? What about one or two big locker rooms with bunches of low berths. The crew and abduction teams stay dormant unless needed.
 
^Hmmmm good point. Perhaps some big open space.
I am actually going to try deck plans next. A main deck of about 400 tons, upper decks of 150 tons and top bottom decks of 50 tons. So five decks in all. No time tonight, I will try to post Sat night.

Should the thruster port be in the back or bottom?
 
Hows work going on Kurega

Geesh!

Weekend + Monday was just jam packed full of everything. Gaming night was pushed to Sunday morning at 9:00AM! Sunday night was dinner with my parents. Saturday was packed full of baby and cleaning out the garage. Monday was take up by a trip down to Bloomington, (135 miles one way). Man, I need a break form the weekend.

You'll need several 'away teams', maybe a couple of Foo Fighters, a training facility for seamless control of the 'New World Order' and one helluva big searchlight.
 
Good idea. Need to produce those clones somewhere.
BTW…
Official abandonment notice.
I am going to be out of contact for a time.

If anyone else has an interest in deck plans go right ahead.

It works out to be a circle of about sixteen, 1.5m squares radius on the main deck, 9 squares on the secondary decks and 6 squares on the tertiary decks.

I thought I'd set the ball rolling.

Here's a quick plan of the Top (control) Deck of the Probe Ship.

It shows the bridge (20T) with stations for the Pilot and Navigator and possibly a couple of remote gunners. There is also a ready room (6T) with a desk, bunk and fresher; a ship's locker (6T) with various stores lying about; some various thingamajigs to represent computers (5T), control gear, etc; and some access space including a lift and emergency ladder shaft.
That accounts for about 43T of space, the rest is wasted thanks to the awkward saucer shape.

PS. The ship was originally specified as unstreamlined. If this thing is going to do all the things we said, it needs streamlining.

Hmm. Newbie having problems with this new-fangled image-hosting technology. I've got a nice deckplan sitting here on my PC but I can't seem to get it to you. And I don't even know enough to ask sensible questions about what I'm doing wrong.

Another try before I give up and go home.
