I had suggested the use of a Freighter extension that was in a picture in Platt's. Well I decided that I was going to go ahead and put stats to a ship like that and pull more information from the picture. [Caution, I tend to ramble!] I decided to go ahead and put it into an adventure, namely the one talked about in GG 6: Tramp Freighters where the characters go off on a small adventure with a freighter. Now the way I classified the ship is a little odd and I'm not sure if I can do this. Looking at other ships in GG 6 I decided that it would be a Ghtroc Corvette, but it is also a heavy freighter. Is that ok? Anyway that is how I did the stats. Now for more detail. I decided that if my characters are going to go on this adventure they are not just going to leave there ships behind. So I converted the two large cargo bays in the front into ship bays. Very important is that ships need maneuverability room and other extra space, so there can be no more than two small ships (like X-Wings) in either bay!! The way it works, is that the ship has two large triangles at the front. If you look at the ship from the side view, the outside edge of the triangle opens up to allow ship access (even in mid flight). It looks like this: (pardon me, I'm not a good artist) closed open ______________________ ______________________ \ \ \ \ rest |\ \ |\ \ <- of | >--------------------- | ---------------------- ship |/ / |__a_c_c_e_s_s__a_r_e_a_| <-there /_____________________/ /_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ Then I had to decide about its armament. With a huge ship like this (approx 110 meters) I could put a lot of weapons on it, but I decided that there shouldn't be too much. I decided to put on three turrets. Two of them are on the back two wings on top, and the other is in the center of the underside of the ship. Also I decided that with a ship this big, and Imperial threats and all, to put two proton torpedo launchers on it. Now the torpedos might be a little much so my characters aren't going to get very many at the beginning. Then if they get more torpedos they will find out that the launchers malfunction some times. Finally there are four tractor beams. These are by the ship bays so that they can bring in the ships or other space cargo if needed. The stats go some thing like this: Nova Beast Craft: Modified Ghtroc Corvette Type: Modified Heavy Freighter Scale: Starship Length: 110 meters Skill: Space Transports Crew: 40, gunners: 9, skeleton: 10 Passengers: 40 Cargo Capacity: 5000 metric tons; 2000 cubic meters Consumables: 1 year Hyperdrive multiplier: x2 Hyperdrive backup: x16 Nav computer: yes Maneuverability: 2D Space: 8 Atmosphere: 365; 1,050 kmh Hull: 3D+2 Shields: 2D Sensors: Passive: 30/1D Scan: 60/2D Search: 90/4D Focus: 4/4D+1 Weapons: (all fire separately) 3 double laser cannons Scale: starfighter Fire Arc: turret Crew: 1 each Skill: Starship gunnery Fire control: 2D Space Range: 1-3/12/35 Atmosphere range: 100-300/1.2/2.5 km Damage: 3D 2 Proton torpedo launchers Scale: starfighter Fire arc: front Crew: 1 each Skill: Starship gunnery Fire control: 2D Space Range: 1/3/7 Atmosphere range: 50-100/300/700 m Damage: 9D 4 tractor beams Scale: starfighter Fire arc: 2 right, 2 left Skill: Starship Gunnery Fire control: 2D Space range: 1-5/15/30 Atmosphere range: 2-10/30/60 km Damage: 2D Now if you would like to see what this ship really looks like, and you don't have Platt's, I have it on my home page. It has the original picture, the stats, and my drawing of what the top and side views look like. My home page is: http://gladstone.uoregon.edu:80/~gent/coruscant.html - then go to The Jedi Training Grounds - it's called Nova.gif This is my first time making up a ship, instead of just modifying existing ships. Please tell me whether you like it, and if I could do anything to make it better.
