CT Only: Book 2 Starships Military/Quasi-Military Ships

Howdy Mike Wightman,

It does say "using a custom 600t hull" in the first sentence, bit of a giveaway that it's built using a custom hull , so the main compartment/engineering compartment split can be anything you need to fit in the drives.

The gremlins have been at my books again, I swear that custom was not there when I read through the details. Thanks for pointing out that I can't read well;-).

I'll have to rework the design based on the new information. Of course I don't expect I'll get do any better at matching the cost this time around either.

Hello all,

I may have figured out why the Zhodani Escort CT AM 4 pages 40-41 doesn't match CT Book 2 Starships (CT Bk2) design requirement for the Drives of taking up 85 tons of space in a 600 ton hull and the difference in the engineer crew requirement in CT Book 5 High Guard 2 (CT Bk5.

Vladika suggested that the Zhodani escort was a customized hull which appears to be the case in away. The CT Bk5 Drives section, page 22, states that the standard drives from CT Bk2 can be used if they otherwise meet the requirements at their fuel formulas.

The CT AM 4 Zhodani Escort appears to use CT Bk2 for the drives and CT Bk5 ship design requirements that do not split the hull's tons between the main compartment and drives section.

Thank you Vladika pointing me in, what appears to be the right direction, solving the difference when I tried using CT Book 2 to check the design.

Oh, Andrea I may have found an addition, probably not a simple one, for your next update to the High Guard Shipyard application.;-)

Thank you honey. Yes did get your email. Sorry been a REALLY bad few months

You are welcome, thanks for the update about the email which probably adds more stuff on your plate, and my wishes/prayers that the months ahead get better.
