Luxury Starship v1.0 (TL 10) Copyright 1996 by Onno Meyer This non-landing spacecraft is quite luxurious yet affordable, due to the savings of a shuttle/starship system. The starship has eight first-class cabins and four little smaller crew berths, complete with artificial gravity seldom found on such small ships. To compensate for the lack of landing ability, a hangar for winged shuttles up to 1,000 cf or wingless landers twice that big was included. A reaction mass tank contains enough water for five flights of the usual launch. The sensor suite contains thermographs (16 miles nominal range), multiscanners (10,000 yds), radars (160 miles) and ALLTVs. The listed performance assumes an eight-ton subcraft and one ton for each person with luggage. The ship is a TL 10 vehicle [Mar. 96 errata sheet] with drives, airlock and grav unit from Space. Structure: 16,000 cf standard extra-light body (HT 2,000), max. load N/A, sealed body. Propulsion: Triple 12-ton reactionless thrusters (DR 5, HT 500) with 2D vectored thrust and two hyperdrive generators (DR 5, HT 125). Power: Two 20 MW small fusion plants (DR 5, HT 125) and 12 MWh rechargeable power cells (DR 5, HT 40). Excess power 2,739.6 KW. Accomodations: Four standard and eight roomy quarters, no windows, with a grav unit. Crew Requirements: Pilot, co-pilot, steward, cook. Armor: 700 points expensive ablative armor, F6/200A B6/100A R6/100A L6/100A T6/100A U6/100A. Cargo: 1,000 cf (and 307.1 cf access space). Accessories: Compact fire extinguisher (two units), two twelve-person full lifesystems, rad shielding, four medium thermographs (scan 22, DR 3, HT 4, electronics), four short-range multiscanners (scan 16, DR 3, HT 2, electronics), two medium radars with rangefinder (scan 26, DR 3, HT 10, electronics), four ALLTVs (+7), two 4-person airlocks, automed (DR 5, HT 62, equipment), four opt. minicomps (C5, DR 3, HT 4, electronics), hangar (for 2,000 cf of subcraft), luxury fittings, four INS (DR 3, HT 6, electronics), two interface jacks, 15 man-years of provisions, four secure long-distance radios (DR 3, HT 4, electronics), two commercial transponders, four spotlights (DR 5, HT 2, exposed equipment), four EM coms, winch (DR 5, HT 15, equipment). Programs: Computer navigation, database (62 GB maps), datalink, sensor operation (C5, skill 18 or +7), tactical vehicle operation (C5, skill 17). 2,550 gallons water as reaction mass (DR 5, HT 400). Statistics: Cost $4,600,000, design mass 100 tons, max. payload 20 tons, max. cargo 7.5 tons, current load 20 tons, loaded mass 120 tons, size modifier +7, radar signature +7, IR signature +13, acoustic signature N/A. Ground, Water and Air Performance: N/A. Space Performance: Acceleration 0.3 G, hyperdrive recharge time 263 min.
