Subject: Tempere Modular Transport
The following is the second ship, the Tempere Modular Transport. It like the
Viiborg are actually the first ships of their class built at Mnemosyne (0232
Foreven sector).
I am trying to figure out what kind of ship construction capacity Mnemosyne
would have to determine how many of each class of ship they might have. In my
universe after the collapse Mnemosyne's UWP would be B669887-A. I have read the
discussions here on Starports, so I realize that a Starport B will have a small
drydock and a grav dock. How do I transalate that information into a maximum
number of ships that could be under construction at one time, a maximum number
of tons per ship and a total maximum number of tons that could be building at
any one time. Any help or advice would really be appreciated.

Notes
The Tempere is designed as a modular transport. It normally carries a Viiborg
fuel skimmer, a drop tank, a Helkana class shuttle and modules totalling 300
tons displacement, in this configuration she can do two Jumps without
refueling. The Viiborg has a 1400 kl fuel tank fitted to be used as a fuel tank
for the Tempere in addition to her own fuel supply, this supplies the Tempere
with the ability to do a single jump when fully loaded. She has been known to
travel with as many as four drop tanks (without the Viiborg and Helkana on
board) allowing four jumps. Where fuel is available in the destination system
she will travel with only one drop tank and 600 tons of modules (allowing for a
single jump).
Modules come in a variety of sizes up to 100 tons displacement. The most common
are the 35 ton modules that can be carried to by Helkana. Modules can have a
variety of purposes also, ranging from general cargo, quarters, a reactor,
weapon systems, labs, small craft, etc. Since the Tempere can not enter a
planets atmosphere, modules are lifted to orbit by specially designed Lifters
such as the Tsuga Heavy Lifter (thank you Joe Heck for getting me started
thinking about TL 9 worlds).
The 50 MW fision reactor provides a surplus of 43.234 MW to power modules and
weapons turrets. The modules usually draw on the power supply of the Tempere,
however, some have their own power supply and one module has a 200 MW fusion
reactor which can feed surplus power to the ship.
Gravity is provided by spinning the entire ship. The spin is usually stopped
while approaching a world to make docking and cargo handling easier. A flight
crew of five is carried to man the Viiborg fuel skimmer and/or Helkana shuttle.
If additional personnel are needed they can be carried in quarters modules.
The Viiborg is built on Mnemosyne (0232 Foreven sector) in the wilds. While
several relic ships exist at Mnemosyne, the Tempere is the backbone of
Mnemosyne commerce and exploration.
