The 8 ton fighter will follow. I had to ignore the surface area requirement of an open frame hull because it was stupid :-) It required the ship to use the unmodified MVM, giving it the same area as a sphere (the lowest possible). Open frames should have the *most* area, not the least. Yeesh, what stupidity. -Merrick General Data ------------ Displacement: 470/600 tons Hull Armor: 30 Length: 85 meters Volume: 6580/8400 kl Price: MCr 334.5 Target Size: S Configuration: Open Frame Tech Level: 13 Mass (Loaded/Empty): 8034.227/3840.977 Engineering Data ---------------- Powerplant: 825MW Fusion (103.125 MW/Hit), 1 yr. duration.

Crew Accom.: 10xSmall Staterooms (double; 0.0005MW ea.) 3xLarge Staterooms (single; 0.0005MW ea.) Cargo: 45.957 kl Small Craft: 1x50ton Refueling Shuttle (Ext. Grapple) 10x8ton Fighter (Ext. Grapple) FPP: (0.75MW) Air Locks: 6 Notes ----- Loaded Mass includes fighters, shuttle, and all their missiles. With craft ship is 2g (375MW/g). Without craft aboard it is 3g (250MW/g). This is a tight ship. The maint. crewman operates the missile launcher (loading, more or less). The lasers are usually operated remotely from the MFD in the bridge by the idle crewman assigned to the second maneuver station (jump). Being an older design in widespread use it is frequently improved. Sometimes the large staterooms are used with double occupancy to accommodate extra gunners, or a psionic adept at life form searches. TL14 turrets are sometimes dropped into the sockets to improve performance. The 4 ton standard Zhodani sockets installed for the laser and missile turrets allow various specialized armaments (all laser, all missile, etc.). Some have a reduced fighter squadron using the added volume as cargo (in a pod), or to carry 8 ton RPVs for remote sensor operations. The fighters carry 3 S/FI HEPlaR missiles each--- usually armed with a 500kt det-laser warhead. The PF has a dome shaped main hull, connected to a tapering engineering section in the rear by a boom-like structure with 5 arms branching a short distance to each side of the boom (one branches upwards). The fueler is accessed via the bottom of the boom (at the rear of the dome, actually), and the missile turret is above nearby (to facilitate reloading from the fueler). The fighters each share an airlock with another fighter at the end of the armlike structures where the docking grapples are mounted. --------------------------------------------------------- TL13 650/173MJ Laser Turret (Zhodani standard, 4 tons) This turret shares an HPG for a non-grav focused xray laser, and a smaller grav-focused tunable laser for atmospheric use. Both may be fired at the same target as well, since the xray laser may only fire at a ROF of 100, and the HPG does 800. Power quoted above is for 10 shots from either laser array. 650MJ X-Ray laser ----------------- 10:1/20-64 20:1/13-41 40:1/7-21 80:1/3-10 173.29MJ laser -------------- 1:1/11-33 2:1/5-16 4:1/3-8 8:1/1-4 Volume:56 kl Mass:83.81 tonnes Area:12.3m^2 Cost (Imperial) MCr:2.606 --------------------------------------------------------- System Damage ------------- JD-13H MD-2H (2x1H drive units) PP-9H FPP-1H AEMS(proc)-4h Neutrino Sensor-2h EMS Jammer-3h EMM-1H EMMR-8h LT-1H MT-1H SC-1H MFD-1H LS-10H ELS-5H AG-2H SSR-2h LSR-1H All others-(1h) Damage Tables ------------- Area Surface Internal ---- ------------ ---------------------------------- 1 Ant Elec(1-6), Qtrs(7-16), hold(17-20) 2-3 1-5Ant Elec(1-5),LT(6-9),Qtrs(10-15),hold(16-20) 4-5 1-2Ant Elec(1-2), SC(3-5), hold(6-20) 6-7 1-2Ant Qtrs(1-10), hold(18-20) 8-9 1-2EMMR hold 10 1-3AL,4-7Ant SC(1-2), MT(3-6), Elec(7-11), hold(12-20) 11 1AL,2EMMR hold 12-13 1AL hold 14-15 1-4EMMR hold 16-19 Eng(1-8), hold(9-20) 20 Eng(1-18), hold(19-20)
