SOC-12
Hi All!

Hot on the heels of the Vargr ship conversions, here comes the Aslan conversions from Megatraveller Alien vol. 2, Solomani & Aslan. Here are presented 7 ship conversions to enhance your T20 gaming!

As with the Vargr ships, I'll put them in seperate posts for ease of editing if needed. Also, comments welcome as per the norm.

COMMENTS
Perhaps one of the most common vessels encountered in the Hierate is the
Eakhau-class trader. Even in human-dominated space, this ship is the one
most associated with the Aslan.
The Eakhau's characteristics are optimised, carrying a fine mix of cargo and
passenger space. Unlike most human traders, the Eakhau does not carry any
auxiliary vehicles or craft. This aspect has sometimes given human traders an
edge, in areas liek Reaver's Deep sector, where the two races come into trade
competition.

COMMENTS
Clans employ the Ekawsiykua escort for patrol and combat duties. Many
convoys use a small group of Ekawsiykua for protection when travelling in
troubled regions. Their fine record in battle has established them as a ship not
to be trifled with. Unfortunately, some of these vessels have been found in the
service of dishonoured Aslan, engaging in "pirate" activitiy. Such a situation
presents a formidable threat to smaller, unarmed merchant ships.

COMMENTS
Finding its use mostly in the hands of Aslan corporations, the Hkiyrerao is
designed to perform surveys of newly discovered worlds and interstellar
phenomena. Its overhead sensor pod contains a wide array of systems. If the
need arises to undertake a manned survey, the Hkiyrerao can use its pinnace
and GCarrier to rtansfer personnel to the investigative target. The Hkiyrerao is
a relatively new class only coming into service in 3648 (Aslan).

COMMENTS
The small Hraye-class scout is well suited to the solitary lifestyle of a wander
ihatei. Its features were designed for travel in less settled star systems. Indeed
this ship may be encountered with far more frequency in the Aslan Colonies
across the Great Rift than within the Heirate itself.

COMMENTS
Used by both clans and Corporations, the Khtukhao (translating roughly as
"travelling womb") clan transport plies freight and passengers along the
Heirate's major trade routes. The sight of one of these ships is unforgettable.
The large bulbous hull is usually painted in fiery orange and reds. Ornate
yoyeaokhtef snake along the surface, curling between contours.

COMMENTS
A favourite prospecting vessel of many clans is the Kteiroa-class seeker. It's
sleek, streamlined shape belies its brutish function - to search among the
rubble of asteroid belts, break down promising ore finds with its pulse lasers,
and take the rocky cargo aboard for transport. Retractable waldoes set on
either side of the cargo doors help the crew nudge free-floating boulders into
the bay.

COMMENTS
The Ktiyhui-class courier is a fast, long range ship used to conduct clan
business across interstellar distances. This time-proven design has served the
Tlaukhu well for generations. Though the interior components are superior to
earlier models, the hull configuration remains the same as when the class first
saw service, three centuries past. The pain on these vessels is easily soluable
(using a common aslan-manufactured solvent). Before a specific missino, the
ship is usually srtipped down, then decorated with a set of yoyeaokhtef which
proudly describe its new mission, crew, and so on.
 
First of all, thanks for these posts; they are great!
I wanted to add a beam laser to one of the Eahkau traders, because my milieu is on the frontier, and when I ran the Eahkau through Falkayn's excellent spreadsheet, it appeared that the version you posted may be a bit too big for a 400 ton vessel under the T20 rules. Unless I screwed up putting it into the spreadsheet. I couldn't put in the shrine of heroes because the spreadsheet doesn't have a space for inputting a custom piece of equipment, so the ship below ignores the shrine - no tonnage is allotted, no cost, etc. Here is what I came up with using the spreadsheet for an armed Eahkau.

Going OT for a moment here, that sounds like an excellent addition for v1.6. Perhaps allow the user to add up to 3 custom areas to a ship?

As to the overall size, it is possible (very!
) that the design spreadsheet is wrong. I'd appreciate anyone double-checking these figures ...
 
Falkayn, yes, I think that would be an excellent addition. Not all that hard, either.

As to the Eahkau design, one thing is definitely true that the spreadsheet picked up - for a jump-2 craft you need a +8EP power plant for a 400 ton hull. The specs only designated 5 EP. So something is off in the conversion (T20 rules not exactly inside the parameters of the original design system, maybe?)

I don't mean to run down the designs, either. I think this set of posts is fantastic. I just wanted to point out the discrepancy.

Sorry for the delayed post... been in Canada on holiday. I'll check it out Mythmere. I was using HGS 1.4 beta so it is possible I missed something, or there was a bug in that area.

As for the running down of the designs, I would never take a helpful post/comment/criticism as anything other than what it was meant to be...
Thanks again for checking them out.

As for the custom area in Falkayn's spreadsheet, I think that the functionality to customize some things would be useful to people incorporating custom equipment into their campaigns.

Hewerrre** is the hope that ComStar picks these up and Bryan does his usual magic. Hopefully, in part inspired by Keith FASA art...
