Default Re: Eagle shuttle from Cosmos 1999

Here is a design I did at TL9^ for a campaign setting of mine. Note that this is not supposed to be the exact thing from the show, but a ship in the same vein using the technology of the setting:

I believe that the costs of the modular components do not reflect the rules given for modular systems, since I wasn't aware of them when I did the design. Buy Beware. I also hacked the rules for rotary reactionless drives, and put some in the front hull. It fits the ascetic better.

------------------------------------------

An unstreamlined, 110ft (SM +6) multipurpose ship. The core ship includes forward and aft sections including control and propulsion systems, with the center of the ship taken up by a large "pod" that can be quickly swapped out.

Systems Table

Front Hull
[1] Light Alloy Armor, open frame (dDR12)
[2] Steel Armor (dDR2)
[3] Control Room (C5, comm/sensor 4, 2 control stations)
[4] Fuel Tank (5 tons hydrox power MHD turbine for 12 hours)
[5-6!] Rotary Reactionless drives (0.1G each)
[Core] MHD Turbine (provides two power points for 6 hours)

Center Hull
[1] Light Alloy Armor, open frame (dDR12)
[2-6] Pod (modular systems)

Rear Hull
[1] Light Alloy Armor, open frame (dDR12)
[2] Steel Armor (dDR2)
[3] Engine Room*
[4] Fuel Tank (5 tons hydrox powers MHD turbine for 12 hours)
[5-6!] Rotary Reactionless drives (0.1G each)
[Core] MHD Turbine (provides two power points for 6 hours)

* include one workstation

Design includes artificial gravity. Crew is one pilot and one co-pilot. A flight engineer is optional.

TL 9^
Eagle
dST/HP 30
Hnd/SR -1/4
HT 13
Move 0.4G/c
LWt. 100 tons
Load 0.2 tons + plus modular systems

Range 18 hours
Cost $880K plus module

Modules:

Passenger pod (four passenger seating systems and steel armor) Carries 24 passengers and costs $280K

Long duration pod (three habitats with two bunkrooms and 5 tons steerage, one cargo system with 5 tons cargo, and steel armor) Costs $645K

Lab pod (Science Array and three habitat modules (a lab and briefing room), plus steel armor). Costs $2,640K

Medical pod (two passenger seating systems and two habitats, plus steel armor). Carries two attendants, has five stretchers, and a medical bay with two automeds. Costs $1,760K

Aren't there GURPS Traveller stats for the LSP Modular Cutter somewhere? A few cosmetic changes and a super-science drive and bob's your uncle.

There's a whole Gurps 3e book for the Modular Cutter and it already has a superscience drive. Even Traveller's Heplar is a superscience drive.

Periodic space-warps or something similar are an absolute necessity to the premise.
Hmmm. I don't know if they ever specified exactly what kind of nuclear explosion knocked them out of orbit. Maybe it was something exotic.

The explosion occured in a nuclear waste dump. So it was an explosion of pure Hollywoodium.

Remember, Space: 1999 was done by the same people as Thunderbirds, Stingray, Supercar, and Firebird XL5. They just upgraded from puppets to Martain Landau and Barbara Bain.
