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.

10dt Launch, TL8 to TL12; 5.0dt or 4.5dt payload.

10dt Launch

This vessel is the smallest of the interplanetary craft in regular commercial use. Early versions include the use of reaction drives with fusion power plant to heat H2O to plasma state. These lower tech models are cheaper and tend to be used for landers, planetary utility craft, and emergency lifeboats.
Tech level 10 and newer craft will tend to use gravitic drives, and are generally more reliable and capable, though more expensive.

Preliminary notes for up-coming campaign

For this campaign, "UNESCO's War", the story begins in the Eridani-Prime System as Earth attempts to assert it's so called right to tax the people of this sovereign system.

This campaign will be using Mongoose Traveller, 2ed. rules, Cepheus Rules, and some house rules modifications. The Near Space map associated with the Cepheus Engine will be used initially.

Capital city of Eridani Prime

Here is a picture of New Eden, the capital city of Eridani Prime:


The planet was settled soon after the advent of anti-gravity, so the capital city was built as a self-sustaining arcology utilizing the new design techniques available to house the colonists until enough other cities could be built to accommodate the massive immigration from Earth. Now that a number of centuries have gone by since first landing, many people have moved out to other cities. However, a quarter of the planet's more than 400,000,000 population still reside within the city, since many are content with the progressive living conditions in this comfortable, cultured, and beautiful city.

The city is located near the equator close to one of the few land-locked seas; the regulation of the canal system of the planet is conducted from this city through the Department of Ecology & Resources. The Technocratic Council Meets here and rules from here.

Station 7, 600dt Fuel refinery station at outer Gas giant in Epsilon Eridani system

This station is civilian built and maintained to service freighters only wanting to jump into the outer system to exchange modules or vessels. However, until construction is complete on Station 9 (a much larger fuel and manufacturing center), Eridani System Defense command considers this a military asset in time of emergency. As long as your business is legal and peaceable, this is a safe port in the outer system. 

It is an open secret that a system defense boat is lurking in the gas giant below, however what is not as well known is that a meson gun emplacement has been built deep in thick atmosphere of the planet below under the cover of the cost/time over-runs with Station 9's construction.

100dt Shuttle, Cargo*

*Note: The 100dt & 90dt Standard Cargo Shuttles are exactly like the 95dt Cargo Shuttle shown above except proportionally larger or smaller. 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).

Note: This vessel is not commonly encountered, but is listed here for completeness. Special Intelligence missions will likely use this or similarly equipped vessels for insertion, observation, etc.
Because of the meager cargo capacity of the Mark 7, this vessel is sometimes equipped with a docking clamp for an additional load of 50dt (hull as standard, FTL @ 2psc/week, M-drive @ 2G thrust--the vessel will also not be stealth protected unless the carried module or vessel is "stealthed").
