Re: [Spaceships] New carrier design
Alchemist-class Refinery Ship
Some would call this ship poorly named; others would say the name is fitting, given its profile. These are ships intended to turn organic waste products into crude petroleum so the factory ships can use it for plastics, and to process breathable air (mainly nitrogen and oxygen) from ice and other chemicals mined from smaller asteroids and comets.

Ceres-class Hydroponics Vessel
Named after the Roman goddess of agriculture, this craft is used to grow fresh grains, fruits, and vegetables for fleets of other ships, military and civilian, that don't have the capacity to do so themselves. This craft is among the largest of the hydroponics vessels in existance; others exist that are smaller. (In game terms, scale dDR, crew, and price proportionate to the lesser SM.)

Re: [Spaceships] New carrier design
Botany Bay-class Sleeper Ship
The Botany Bay-class is an older colony ship design no longer produced but still occasionally encountered beyond the settled 20 lightyear radius around Sol. Many of these ships are still not accounted for, and are believed to still be drifting at slow FTL speeds towards their target stars to create new settlements. Some of these trips are expected to last at least 100 years, even at faster-than-light speeds. The ships are sleeper ships, with the colonists stored in cryogenic capsules, aging very slowly if at all. Most are programmed to wake up the crew once the ship drops out of hyperspace around their target star; the colonists will be woken up once the ship is in orbit around a suitable planet. In the event that no suitable planet is detected in the system, a new course is set and the craft re-enters hyperspace.

Re: [Spaceships] New carrier design
Okay, other than the bulk freighter and light freighter designs, this concludes my listing of "capital" ships. (The racker shouldn't qualify, but I threw it in anyways.)
Up next, once I get them hammered out, are my fighter designs, dropship, assault shuttle, personnel shuttle, SWACS craft, bomber, and cargo tug designs. I'm holding off on the freighter designs for now, as I just picked up Spaceships 2, and wanted to compare them before finalizing things. Thoughts on the ships I've posted so far? |
Cool! and thanks for the work done . . .
I always like seeing designers work on what in wet navies are called "yard" craft -- the runabouts, small tugs & minesweepers, the Harbour Defence Motor Launches, etc.
Why? One, they're important to keeping the big ships going. Two, for any RPG, it's much more likely that Joe & Jane Player Character can scrounge up one small craft for a special mission than borrow the Admiral's flagship. Read the late Edward <?> Stafford's book "Subchaser" for an example of the kinds of odd duties such a ship gets. IIRC the only thing he WASN'T doing was chasing subs. |

Re: [Spaceships] New carrier design
And here are a few of the small craft I've come up with. This first one should be somewhat familiar, as I tried to develop a TL 9 version of it.
Novosibirsk-class Patrol Boat The Nobosibirsk-class Patrol Boat is an ancient design, having been used continuously since the Human-Pondrur Wars of the 22nd and early 23rd Centuries. As technologies have advanced, the design has been upgraded. There are even rumors that some of the patrol boats donated to the CDA Fleet saw service in those ancient wars. Due to advances in propulsion, the fuel tanks that were prevalent in older models are no longer required; this permits the application of additional armor. The CDA has adopted the Russian policy of requiring at least one crewman on duty at all times on board the craft. This requirement means that the crew must share bunks in the one bunkroom; the officer in charge of the craft, usually a Lt. Commander, does not get separate quarters from the rest of the crew. An automed is provided in case of injuries sustained while on patrol.

Re: [Spaceships] New carrier design
ATR-4 Assault Shuttle
The ATR-4 Assault Shuttle was designed specifically for the Colonial Defense Alliance Marine Corps. It is intended to get a platoon of Marines close to a larger craft so they can board it and ferry them away once the boarding operations have been concluded. Because its mission profile normally requires stealth, the ATR-4 has been outfitted with the latest in stealth technologies. While no CDA member nation has yet been able to produce a true "cloaking device", the craft is designed to simulate the effects with a stealthy hull, no exterior lighting, and the latest in electronic countermeasures. For more aggressive missions, some of its ECM may be sacrificed for weaponry, although it doesn't have the power to operate its engine at full power and operate its weapons at the same time when outfitted as such.

STL-33 Personnel Shuttle
The STL-33 Personnel Shuttle is a small craft designed to ferry people between ships, stations, and planetary surfaces. The craft is not FTL-capable, although some militaries have been known to add a small hyperdrive system, sacrificing personnel space. The shuttle is designed to be cheaply mass-produced; as such, it doesn't possess much in the way of advanced armor or weapon systems. Most shuttles in military service are escorted by fighters, although many have been refitted with better armor.
