I am beginning to design ships for a TL-9 pocket empire where I am going to set
my first TNE campaign. This is my first attempt at doing a ship design with
FFS. Please send me your comments and suggestions.

Notes:

The Viiborg is designed to be carried aboard the Tempere Modular Transport. It
is also used at refueling space stations built around gas giants. The crew live
on the mothership or space station. The fuel on the Viiborg can be used by the
Tempere directly as if the Viiborg were an auxillary fuel tank or it can be
pumped into the Tempere's normal fuel tanks.

The Viiborg is built on Mnemosyne (0232 Foreven sector) in the Wilds.

I hope you find this useful. I will be working on the Tempere and it's modules
and small craft next.
