How big is the Tigress? Are her dimensions listed anywhere? Other than ACS are dimensions for any of the capital ships available?
Tigress class

thanks.
You memory serves you well. On p. 100, based on the scale shown, it looks like the sphere proper is about 240m in diameter, the engines in the rear section adding about another 60m.

It's basically a sphere.
Volume is 14x500,000 = 7,000,000m^3
Volume of a sphere = 4/3.pi.r^3
So the radius is = cube root of (0.75.volume/pi)
Which I get to be 118.67m, this is the radius. So diameter is 237.34m.

I can either spend ~$6.00 on Warehouse23 for a PDF, or $227 on Amazon for a hard copy. Neat.
I asked because in a render I found somewhere online the vessel, compared to something like a Beowulf, wasn't the monster that I thought it might be for a new adventure seed on my blog. It's still big, but well...thanks anyway.

Or, you can spend about $35.00 at FFE and get the GURPS Traveller CD-ROM #2 (GT:Starships) and get both the sourcebook and a bunch of other sourcebooks and deckplans for GT vessels published for GURPS Traveller by SJGames.

Interesting, and a deal considering what those items are going for individually. But the Paypal window is requiring I type in my information all over again, when on other sites all I have to do is log in and Paypal takes care of the rest. Oh well. Few things are easy in life.
Thanks for the link.
Fixed the paypal problem. I think was clicking on the wrong tab. Still not sure whether or not I'm going to use the Tigress in the next seed offering. Probably not.
I'm curious if the "eye" design was an intended aesthetic for her configuration, or whether it was really just something that came to be because of the designer's imagination.

FYI, some guy on Amazon is charging over $1000 for a copy of GURPS [T] Starships.

Why? when I think you can get a printed copy at lulu for like $40. Some people are sick when they think they can get away with price murder.
Some things not everything can be reprinted with lulu.com.
Oy. and when you have the pdf, I think you can make yourself a binder with the printed pages at home. It'll cost you a little in ink and paper but its yours and if Marc Miller or Steve Jackson don't mind sell it on Ebay/Amazon for $900 as newly assembled. :coffeesip:
Heee,

You know, I hate to say it, but sometimes that's just a money-laundering scheme. Pay big bucks for something innocuous in order to transfer assets.

I once read that the three battleships in Supp 9 we're meant to resemble:
Tigress=Death Star
Plankwell=battlestar
Kokirakks=klingon battlecruiser
Interesting. I've always been of the opinion that the original Kzinti CV in Star Fleet Battles looks like the Galactica. All you have to do is connect the "paws" forward and aft with some vertical lines.

The classic Plankwell doesn't seem to know it's arse from it's elbow.

Although the comparison between Lightning cruiser and Tigress is wrong.
The Kzinti design ethic was established before BSG came out... The CS and FF form factor was retained from the Pocket Edition (1975) onward.
