Golf Ball class Scout

:nonono: Yes, but the ship that the hero used was a Broadsword.
And now you've got me re-reading Space Viking. Time well spent I suppose...
You're welcome!
Scout design
The original spec per B2:
ScoutICourier (type S): Using a 100-ton hull, the scout/courier is intended for
exploration, survey, and courier duties, with many in service throughout known
space. It mounts jump drive-A, maneuver drive-A, and power plant-A, giving performance
of jump-2 and 2-G acceleration. A 40-ton fuel tank provides fuel for the
power plant and provides sufficient fuel for one jump-2. Adjacent to its bridge
is a computer Model11 bis. There are four staterooms and no low berths. One double
turret with its fire control is installed on the ship's hardpoint, but no weaponry is
mounted. One airlraft is carried in a specially fitted hangar within the ship. Cargo
capacity amounts to 3 tons. The hull is streamlined.
The scout/courier requires a crew of one, assuming the duties of pilot and
engineer. The ship costs MCr 29.43 and takes 9 months to build.

100 dt cargo ship
The 100 dt cargo ship is designed and drawn at tech 15 but a tech 9 - 12 version would be more expensive by about 10 mcr give or take and have 2 less tons of cargo space.

Under the standard Imperial assumptions, you don't get too many TL15 merchants...
I originaly was thinking that they would need to be tech 15, but the tech 9 version just drops 2 dt tons of cargo for more engineering space. The real difforence is in the cost, 19.7 mcr for the tech 15 and 24.5 mcr for the tech 9, with mass production on both. With out massproduction the prices are, 24.6 and 30.6 respectifly. As for a tech 9 deck plan, may be later. The changes are not much, remove some fuel tankage on the engineering deck and add some to the cargo deck.
As for the scout, it has to be tech 15 to have the second jump 2 of fuel, if you reduce the tech you get some cargo space and only jump 1 for the second jump.
