Note: For the examples of spacecraft design posted on this blog, I mostly use 2ed. Mongoose Traveller rules, but some examples using 1ed. rules will persist until they can be upgraded.

Look at the side column for variant rules I use in my campaign.

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).
