Response to RFT from Congress of Rimward States (Traveller Digest 447) 
 
Sorry for the delay, but it took awhile for me to get this put together. 
It is my first attempt at design, so please look it over carefully for
errors (the spreadsheet all seems to work out properly, so I think it is
okay).

The Jayhawk Enforcer (Far Trader) - C has been designed as an anti-piracy
vessel under the terms of the Request For Tender put forth by the Congress
of Rimward States in 1202.  The class, although limited in offensive punch
should be able to hold its own defensively, even against Gazelle Class
Close Escort class vessels.  Armor, maneuver drive and sensor upgrades will
increase survivability and allow the launch of onboard fighter craft.  The
class has been designed with a minimal hanger capable of holding either a
15 ton Avalon class fighter or 20 ton Camelot Class Gig (PAW) at the
Admiralty's choice.  The fighter carries a TL-12 180 Mj Laser Lance while
the Gig carries a TL-12 256 Mj Particle Accelerator Weapon.

Crew:  1 x Pilot/Gunner 
Crew Accomodations:  1 workstation

Notes 
Laser is fixed forward-firing mount 
 
 
The redesigned Avalon Class (thanks Merrick :) ) is no longer designated a
fighter due to it's pitiful acceleration, and is now known as a pinnace. 
The grapples and 4 missiles were factored into the original design and are
place now.

Notes 
N-PAW is a spinal mount weapon 
 
 
Another companion vessel to the Jayhawk Enforcer, the Camelot Gig carries a
fairly substantial, if short-ranged punch to take on heavier vessels.  The
Particle Accelerator spinal mount will provide a nasty surprise to
predatory vessels. 
 
The redesigned Camelot loses it's Contra-Grav and reduces it's AEMS to
180,000km and the hull goes from AF to SL in order to accomodate the
corrected acceleration.  It also loses it's missile capablility. 
 
Note that the cost of the Enforcer plus Avalon comes in at MCr 131.28 while
the Enforcer plus Camelot is MCr 134.93 (no standard discount factored in).
 The listed price of the Jayhawk is MCr 57.50 (presumed to be 80%
discounted price).  200% of the prototype Jayhawk cost = MCr 143.75.  Thus
the Enforcer plus one of either small craft comes in at below 200% of base.
