Well, I hope Baron Saarthuran won't mind the competition, he'll kick my pants art wise I expect
CT it is then. I roughed up a quick and dirty Baronial Yacht in B2. B5 would come out similar. Close enough for this to serve as a first pass for feedback on specific changes and directions.
First your design requirements addressed in point form:
Part 1
1. Any hard points should mount a Traditional Triple Turret containing: one Beam Laser, one Missile Launcher, and one Sandcaster.
Presumably you’ll want the maximum hard point allotment per regulations.
2. Would like to have at least a couple of Low Berths.
Possibly as part of a medical facility?
3. The Master's Suite will need certain Security Features to be discussed.
Naturally.
4. A specialized Air-Lock (variable pressure setting and restraint systems).
Quite doable.
5. An EVA Engineering External Access Locker and Engineer Assistant Robot.
We can provide the EVA locker but are not engaged in robotics at this time. We can recommend suppliers.
6. The Thornwood Famili Arms, including Baronial (von Thornwood, the 'von' being very important to me personally, as it is an Honor Title) and Knight of Order of the Spinward Marches Heraldry (the Famili Knighthood), I have an additional Award of Knighthood (Honor), but have yet to informed on the nature of the Award of Knighthood itself. I bring it up merely as it may added later. Thornwood Family Heraldry: Escutcheon Sable, (thorn tree) Sanguine, Border Vert (British Racing Green)
Of course.
7. Secret Safe in all Staterooms.
Including Crew staterooms?
8. A BUMPING SOUND SYSTEM and wicked light show.
Interesting. Including live artist performance space?
9. A Hydroponics Section.
A nice feature. Am I correct in presuming this is life support supplemental and special fresh food oriented, or is it more an arboretum recreational space?
10. Fuel scoops and purification systems.
Standard for streamlined designs and naval rated drives.
11. Streamlining.
An excellent choice.
12. Chrome.
Of course.
13. Pimp, comfy, ergonomic systems on the Bridge, it should really comfortable, decreasing stress during combat/hijack situation.
Standard.
14. Large cargo bay.
Can you better define your needs here? Most of our Noble clients only require enough for an extensive baggage allowance for crew and passengers. Would you need more? Other features may have to be sacrificed or scaled back.
15. Extremely well stocked Ship's Locker.
Standard.
16. All Alphanumeric marking in both Anglic and Vilani Serif (see mr boulton's fine site)
Standard.
17. Art for the Starship should have an aetheric wispy look.
I can but try.
18. Serious potentially lethal Anti-Hijack systems.
Standard.
19. Ship's Vehicles, as per standard?
Standard, typically a Speeder or two and/or an armored Grav Limo.
20. Model/3 fib+ Computer, with various Tactical and Miscellaneous Programs to make up for lack of Crew skills, and to comply with certain Ministry Standards.
Standard at this level. Though specifics of your Ministry Standards and Crew limitations will have to be clarified.
21. Any suggestions your fine wright might have.
If occasional light cargo capacity is desired and range can be sacrificed we suggest making 1 parsec of jump fuel dismountable tankage. This will allow 40tons of cargo space when limiting jumps to 2 parsecs and normal 3 parsec performance the rest of the time.
Part 2
A Co-worker in the Office (Agent T.), has suggested that I look into look into the following:
1. Extra large Power Plant capable of 150%+ standard need.
Excess power is factored in.
2. At least Jump-2 capable with good G Acceleration (3+?)
Standard at this level is J3 3G.
3. Pop up turrets, and a Drop Torpedo, not Jump, merely a quick drop and run Torp.
Pop up turrets are a common option at this level for diplomatic reasons. Standard missile launchers are capable of handling a large variety of specialty ordnance, including fire and forget munitions, snooper missiles, and others. Would this suit your needs?
4. A Black Globe or cloak.
Black Globes are not available at this level. However space can be earmarked for installation as a contingency of you acquiring one.
Limited cloaking via Active Camo surface is standard.
Anti-psionic shielding is an available option for sensitive areas. It is cost prohibitive for whole ship application.
5. Lush interior, silks, and Art Deco preferred. Excellent Staterooms for Crew.
Standard.
6. Stress Crew comfort in Stations and Living Areas.
Standard.
7. MILSPEC Sensors and Counter-Measures (internal and external)
Standard at this level.
As My Work for HIM requires a certain covertness, we would ask that you take this into account in Your Response.
Standard at this level.
