Roughneck Class Ship

[Balakar]

In a TNE supplement; Survival Margin", by David Nilsen, pg. 37, mention is made of a Roughneck Class Gas Giant Harvester. Does anyone have any plans for such a ship?

Thanks

I believe that there were plans in the MT folio Assignment: Vigilante by GDW.

Vargas is correct there, it's a weird concoction from various tech levels (mostly 7!!) They're made by Sternmetals Horizon Lic or a subsiduary on Sufren in Diaspora. It's a Megatraveller design and is essentially a 200dt ship suspended from an airfoil lifting balloon that is also the collecting surface/funnel for gas giant atmospheric gases/rain/condensation. It's an odd duck and definately a single purpose ship that has to be used in conjunction with tenders/support craft. The scenario in question teams six of them with a converted X boat Tender.
Seek out a copy of Assignment Vigilante for it's stats, but if, like me, you run something other than MT (I run TNE) you may need to rebuild it

Plans not really plans. Vigilante has a picture and specs but no plans.


Cheers.
