For starters I'll start with a small cargo ship that we all know:xl file attached. Tonnage I got from a volumetrics site (if you wanted to add that aleged missle battery in the nose then you'd make it a 300 ton craft) Basics: The falcon is a flattened sphere (giving it the ability to fly in atmospheres) It's not the fastest craft acceleration wize (even the imperial star destoyers were cornering it 2G acceleration) but it's very fast ship (5 jump capability almost twice as much as Imperial craft) It also needs a powerplant minimum of 5 for the jump drive as well as a level 5 computer for that 5 parsec jump ability). It also is using 55% of it's volume for fuel (50% for that 5 parsec jump). For weapons it has 2 batteries of tripple pulse lasers (3 is the max/turret in traveler). You'll notice that there's a negitive number in the troops catagory (that's because this ship is vastly understaffed, and why it's always malfunctioning and needing it's passengers to man the second laser battery. It can carry up to 4 extra passengers and smuggle 20 tons of cargo. I'll be posting a warship later on but though I'd get started with this familiar ship. Edited by Nuke, Apr 19 2009, 05:52 AM.

Next up is a standard Traveler Troop ship the Broadsword: Deckplans can be found here: http://www.sff.net/people/kitsune/Traveller/bsimages/index.html The Broad sword is an 800 ton sphereicle troop ship with 1G acceleration and 3 jump capability. It is armed with 8 hardpoints (I've given it 2 missiles, 2 beam lasers, and 4 sand casters) and carries 80 troops with 2 cutters to transfer them. (the troop modules are in the cutters, the fuel modules are side by side (can also double as cargo module) and to change the cutter must first disengage from the Broad sword then exchange modules (as there's no storage space for both modules in the Broadsword.)
