Spacecraft design, Mongoose 2ed. + house rules, Hull.

For my Traveller campaigns, the primary rules currently in use are from High Guard in Mongoose Traveller second edition. These rules are great for fleshing out a Traveller universe where gravity manipulation has been fully developed. However, what if the focus on adventure was to a lower technology boondocks where replacement and repair of high-tech items is difficult?

I wanted to develop a campaign similar in flavor to 2300AD, Hostile (see Cepheus Engine, et al.), High Colonies, Orbital, and Serenity/Firefly with a dash of Cowboy Bebop; any reliable gravitic artifacts beside basic lifter/inertial gravity compensators will be rare. The rules as written (RAW) do not much cover spacecraft design for pre-gravitic craft, so with a nod toward Traveller T5 (always mined for style, mechanics, etc., however Mark Miller is wrong on the goofy lettered drives and such...), and some consulting with the old Traveller New Era "Fire, Fusion, & Steel", I here present some rules for a more gritty, somewhat realistic play that are easy to abstract away from.


Chassis of vessel:

Configuration of the vessels chassis is the first consideration of design, and High Guard, 2ed. has expanded this somewhat, but for gravitic hulls. So, for non-gravitic hulls I am going full T5 with a nod to 2300AD on this. The vessel can be configured as follows (each category gives name followed by limitations and comment):

C Cluster [1G limit, Atm=no, Skim=no, Land=no, An accumulation of compartments.]
     Cost=0.01Mcr./dt.

B Braced [3G limit, Atm=no, Skim=no, Land=no, A cluster braced for higher acceleration.]
     Cost=0.02Mcr./dt.

U Unstreamlined [9G limit, Atm=no, Skim=yes, Land=no (yes if Atm=0-1), an enclosure whose protrusions produce drag.] For vessels under 100dt in size, and if the vessel is to be able to land on a surface with Atm 0-1, it will require that a landing suspension be specified.
     Additional requirements=(if installed) 10% hull volume, 1.0Mcr./dt, Atm=N/A.
     Cost=0.02Mcr./dt.

S Streamlined [9G limit, Atm=yes, Skim=yes, Land=yes, an enclosure with cowlings and fairings to decrease drag.] Note that Aerofins can be added to this configuration per the standard rules with the stated benefits and costs.
     Additional Requirements=(if installed) 5% hull volume, 0.1Mcr./dt, Atm=DM+2.
     Cost=0.03Mcr./dt.

A Airframe (winged streamlined) [9G limit, Atm=yes, Skim=yes, Land=yes, a winged enclosure with better performance in atmosphere.] This configuration is purposely designed with built-in Aerofins and control surfaces to provide lift in atmosphere.
     Additional Requirements=5% hull volume, 0.1Mcr./dt, Atm=DM+2*.
     Cost=0.04Mcr./dt.

L Lifting body (airframe) [9G limit, Atm=yes, Skim=yes, Land=yes, an enclosure with lifting surfaces with better performance in atmosphere.] This configuration is purposely designed with built-in Aerofins and control surfaces to provide lift in atmosphere. Typically used with non-gravitic powered vessels.
     Additional Requirements=10% hull volume, 0.1Mcr./dt, Atm=DM+3*.
     Cost=0.04Mcr./dt.

H Hybrid Lifting body [9G limit, Atm=yes, Skim=yes, Land=yes, an enclosure where the body of the vessel is the lifting surface with highest speed performance in atmosphere.] This configuration is a purposely designed lifting body with variable control surfaces to provide lift in atmosphere. Typically used with non-gravitic powered vessels.
     Additional Requirements=10% hull volume, 0.1Mcr./dt, Atm=DM+4*.
     Cost=0.05Mcr./dt.

*Other conditions apply in landing times and lift-off times (q.v.)

STOL depends upon the type of airframe/chassis used, but uses +2% Hull vol. and +10% hull cost.
VTOL requires more volume for thrusters and ducting etc., uses +10% Hull vol. and +50% hull cost.


Special Note on Power for Non-gravitic Hulls:
     If a hull is built without gravitic lifters and inertial compensators, the basic ship system power requirements are reduced to 5% of hull volume in energy points (EP).

 Lenton Prayer 2021

The following is a necessary re-post:

[

Almighty God, O Holy God, in the name of Jesus, we pray (Lord, hear our prayer): As the Lenten season begins this Wednesday, give us grace to draw near to you and to seek your face. We thank you that we have been given access to you, Father God, as your Spirit prompted the writer of Hebrews: 19 Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, 20 by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body, 21 and since we have a great priest over the house of God, 22 let us draw near to God with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water. 23 Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. 24 And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. And then Lord, as we draw near to you and your Spirit reminds us of our ongoing sin and as we remember the crucifixion of Jesus that comes at the end of Lent (in time almost 2000 years ago), we hear again from the word: …let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. 2 Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Lord Jesus give us grace to rededicate ourselves to the purpose of glorifying you and seeking to enjoy your presence as we identify with you in your journey to the cross. And as we ask this, we are again reminded from your word: 3 Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart. 4 In your struggle against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood. 5 And you have forgotten that word of encouragement that addresses you as sons… (from Hebrews ch.12) And the scripture goes on to add: 12 Therefore, strengthen your feeble arms and weak knees. O Lord God, we do ask for Your strength in our weaknesses and for Your grace to put aside ourselves and draw near to You. For the church universal and for all of us now praying, we ask that you create in us a pure heart, O God, and that You renew a steadfast spirit within us. We ask that You not cast us away from your presence or take Your Holy Spirit from us, and Holy God, may you yet maintain in us the joy of your salvation. Lord grant us this Lent a willing spirit and sustain us with the bread of heaven. May your church experience revival and reformation and may our nation see and hear Your mighty works and come to repentance and salvation. In the name of Jesus we pray.

Jennifer has recently retired from the planetary COACC of Eridanii-Prime. After a year of preparation, she has just moved to the outer system to set up a transport business. She has a new place to live, a new 10 ton launch to begin her spacecraft fleet, and a few toys all paid for. Through creative financing and to get out from system-binding financial entanglements, she has paid everything off by taking out an equity loan. These payments are starting to get worrisome to her since the business is still not up and running yet, and those monthly payments are steep. You'll never find a more motivated pilot for the small package trade than Jenny Morrison.....

Jenny's 30dt module, docked at Station 12, Epsilon Eridani system.

30dt Module

Home Sweet Home, "Morrison Cottage"
This fairly new module (1 year old) was purchased from the owner of Station 12, an anonymous eccentric Billionaire operating the station near the midway point between Eridanii Prime and Asteroid Ring Alpha. In exchange for the occasional small package shipment directly to the station owner's suite, Jennifer is not charged docking fees for her module. Once her equity loan is paid off, she plans to remodel the module for small scale manufacturing. This module has become her primary home since she has moved her personal effects from the town-home at down port. She hopes to rent out the condo while traveling to the outer system and other systems for business. A droid, "George", is kept on staff at the module to provide valet and cooking services while she is in port, and otherwise George provides routine maintenance on the module and security services. Jenny also allows her droid to participate in self education projects while she is away.

100dt Shuttle, short range, Redundant bifurcated engines

100dt Shuttle, Cargo*

*Note: The 100dt & 90dt Standard Cargo Shuttles are exactly like the 95dt Cargo Shuttle shown above except proportionally larger or smaller. This vessel is indistinguishable from the newer shuttles which have much longer range. Very commonly encountered at spaceports and the like. Many used ships of this type are available for sale or lease. This vessel can easily be converted into a tanker shuttle by flooding the cargo area with L-Hyd. (unpurified).
