Wanted: Pictures of missiles, launchers, and bays

[fredofmars]

I'm hoping someone(s) can direct me to pictures of Traveller missiles (turret and/or bay sized), missile launchers, and missile turrets and bays.

I am hoping to use some pictures in these general categories in a presentation tomorrow (about 16 hours from this posting). On the other hand, if picture references (or even newly created pictures ) are posted after that time, I may well use a few good ones to enhance one of the articles I wrote that is on Freelance Traveller.

Picture references in the Traveller bibliography are most useful for this if they appear within the next 12 hours (I have most of them available to me). Pictures online would be useful almost up to the presentation time (next 16 hours). I know that some exist, but I haven't found them yet.

Thanks for any help you can provide!

I found an example of turret missiles in use in the Striker video on the Traveller3d site run by Andrew Boulton. Thanks Andrew!

The "Quick Getaway" video on Andrew's site also has an example of a missile turret in use. Thanks again Andrew!

Glad to be of help!

Here are some of Jesse's SDB pics that show the launchers:

I don't think Traveller ever really sorted out how big missiles are.

I think turret missiles were equated to Striker 25cm High Performance missiles, or something like that - check out Striker construction rules.

Several CT books say 15x100cm, 50kg, which is *tiny*. TNE goes too far the other way and makes them 0.5dt.

Striker lists turret missile warhead as equivalent to 15 cm rounds, and bay missile warheads as equivalent to 25 cm rounds.

The best discussion of missile size was in an article by Joseph Kimball titled:
Missile Magazines For High Guard
You can find this article in the shipyard section of Freelance Traveller

Its an excellent write-up on missiles, magazines, launchers and bays....
Its worth looking at

Thanks for the thumbs up! That's my article!

I've toyed with the idea of enhancing it a bit, and including some of the things I excluded from the scope in the first published version. Perhaps some of those might work better as separate articles though.
