Simplified payload-based ship design

SOC-14 1K
A first attempt of a payload-based ship design system for T5.

Spreadsheet: http://www.travellerrpg.com/CotI/Discuss/showpost.php?p=591902&postcount=13

To design something like a Subbie:
PUKluWz.png

We specify a civilian ship with a payload of 10 passengers, 200 Dt cargo, and a launch.
For performance we choose TL-10, Airframe, J-1, M-1.

We have designed a ship.
 
We get a text summary of the ship (like LBB2):

o7q6mm6.png


Or pasted as text:

Using a 400 Dton streamlined hull, it has J Drive B, M Drive B, and P Plant B giving performance of jump-1 and 1 g acceleration. There is fuel tankage of 41,58 Dton, enough for 4 weeks and 1 jump-1.
The bridge has 2 control consoles, an operating console, and a m/0/bis computer. The rest of the ship has no control consoles, 4 operating consoles, and no computers.
There are three sensors: a Gen AR Surf Commu-9 +7, a Gen AR Surf Radar-10 +7, and a Gen AR Surf Scope-10 +7.
There are six staterooms for the crew with a Comford of -1. There are five high staterooms, and five staterooms for passengers with a Demand of 0.
There is a carried craft: a Launch in a Grapple.
Cargo capacity is 240 Dton. The ship requires a crew of six: a pilot, a navigator, a sensor operator, an engineer, a medic, and a steward.

We can get a little tougher ship by going back to the simple view and selecting type: armed civilian:
lo3PxBT.png


We can see that the ship is enlarged to 500 Dton to accommodate a few weapons and a little armour.

Description:

Using a 500 Dton streamlined hull, it has J Drive C, M Drive C, and P Plant C giving performance of jump-1 and 1 g acceleration. There is fuel tankage of 51,48 Dton, enough for 4 weeks and 1 jump-1.
The bridge has 2 control consoles, 4 operating consoles, and a m/0/bis computer. The rest of the ship has 3 control consoles, 4 operating consoles, and no computers.
There are five sensors: an Imp LR Surf Commu-10 +10, an Imp AR Surf Radar-10 +8, an Imp AR Surf Scope-10 +8, an Imp Or Surf Jamme-10 +4, and an Imp BR Surf Steal-10 +1.
There are 14 staterooms for the crew with a Comfort of -1. For passengers there are five high staterooms, and five staterooms with a Demand of 0.
There are three weapons: a Mod SR T4 Comm-9 +3, and two Imp SR T4 SLM -10 +2.
There is a carried craft: a Launch in a Grapple.
Cargo capacity is 266 Dton. The ship requires a crew of 14: two pilots, two navigators, two sensor operators, two engineers, an administrator, a medic, a steward, and two gunners. The ship costs MCr 118,8.
