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.

SMS Three Little Birds, 300dt Jump Frame Carrier {J-4, payload=0/30dt; J-3, payload=100dt; J-2, payload=300dt, J-1, payload=900dt*}


TL12+



This starship is set up for J-2 operations, but can be flown without the external load for J-4 or reduced external load for J-3 with loads requiring their own supply of system power. J-1 operations are also possible, but will require a self-powered payload module (900dt) and a re-configuring of on-board cargo docking clamp area.
