The Rocinante

[agorski]

So I'm debugging my iOS Adventure Class Ships app on my iPad in preparation for release to the store. Since T5 has so many more options for systems than previous versions of Traveller I thought it would be fun to design a non-Traveller ship. Here's the Rocinante (MCRN Tachi) from The Expanse. The only thing I couldn't do was make the point defense cannon turrets pop-ups. This is the exported design, condensed into fewer lines:

It's thought for Quixotic adventures ?

(sorry, I could not refrain myself)

(sorry, I could not refrain myself)

You sir, are seriously over-educated.

 

[mike wightman]

How about the upgraded version from later in the book series.

More powerful engines and a spinal railgun.

 

[kilemall]

Shouldn't Holden be Naval with a second Merchant career?

 

[mike wightman]

The Rocinante is 46m tall, interweb estimates put her around 200 displacement tons in Traveller terms.

Don't have the specs on that one. It would require more tonnage for sure. This is the TV version with specs from here.

 

[agorski]

Yup. But on board the Rocinante there are no ranks, just job titles.

 

[agorski]

The Rocinante is 46m tall, interweb estimates put her around 200 displacement tons in Traveller terms.

400 tons is required to get 2 hardpoints and 6 firmpoints, so that's what I used. This gives a reasonable amount of fuel.

Rather than use the generic MCRN ship class on that web site read the entry for the Rocinante
http://expanse.wikia.com/wiki/Rocinante
scroll down to the history section where it mentions the upgrades.
