I'm enjoying this series.

I'm wondering why you chose antimatter-pion reaction drives for the Invictus, instead of a reactionless drive. The color text specifies the spin gravity at about 1/2 g.

But I'm glad you're doing the heavy lifting not me :)

The spin gravity point first; you're right - the write up note is based on the vessel being SM+14, which can provide up to 1G, but it is worth me amending the writeup to note that the Invictus Hab Rings have 0.5G spin gravity.

On the engines, the Invictus and the Argos station are built on the same tech, the listed 'Gravitic Redirector' engine would seem to be a reactionless engine, probably with the Negative Mass Propulsion design switch.
However, the GURPS Spaceships Reactionless engines have too higher acceleration (G) for the Argos Space Station (for my liking), Gravitic Compensators could resolve that, but it doesn't feel right.
This leaves the AM Pion or AM Pion Torch as the best choice of 'higher tech' engines, without very high acceleration.
Additionally, the Invictus is primarily a Command Carrier, its armament consists entirely of missile launchers, so it doesn't want to be speeding into close combat, that's what the fighters are for.

That said, swapping out the Engine and Fuel Tank for Reactionless Engines is simple enough, and the Invictus writeup does have a note on alternative weapons configuration for versions built for combat on the frontline.

You're welcome. Its been an ongoing background project for me for a while.

HT13; Move 2G/15mps; Load 50,720 (41,280) tons; Occupancy 32ASV; dDR 50; Range x1; Cost $6.501B

† The Cargo Holds are an open framework of ‘ribs’ designed to hold 624x HMT-337 Cargo Containers. The ribs consist of clamps, power and life support hook-ups, and access corridors – totalling ~5 tons per container (3120 tons). The containers are arranged in 8 columns (left to right), 13 rows (back to front) and 6 decks (bottom to top). At 75 tons each, they total 46,800 tons, carrying 65 tons of cargo, passengers or various other configurations. The maximum Cargo Load (if all containers are Cargo Containers) is 41,280 tons (including the on-board storage).

‡The Robot Arm represents the Cranes mounted atop the ship, used for loading and unloading the containers from the ribs.

The MisFortune also carries a pair of Sherpa - Freighter Haulers to assist in loading and unloading.

Prosperity Alpha – Bulk Hauler (TL10^)
This variant is all but identical to the standard Prosperity-class (of which the MisFortune above is an example), except that the Cargo Holds are 12 (or perhaps 10) individual bins/bays for transporting loose cargo, including bulk liquids.
The layout and statistics are identical to those of the MisFortune above, except that the available Cargo Load is the full 50,720 tons.

The Ajax is a cut down version of the Prosperity-class container transport, built for the military. It has no on-board living quarters, instead the inner 12 containers are often configured for use by the crew, and are not dropped as part of a standard deployment load.

The containers are arranged in 8 columns (left to right), 2 rows (back to front) and 3 decks (bottom to top). At 75 tons each, they total 3600 tons, carrying 65 tons of cargo, passengers or various other configurations. The maximum Cargo Load (if all containers are Cargo Containers) is 3120 tons (including the on-board storage).

The Ajax often carries a standard configuration of 12 containers on the inner columns, as Habitat for the Crew: 3x Six Sleepers; 3x Travel Suite; 2x Cargo; 2x Empty; 1x Medical; 1x Office; Total Cost +$7M;

Well, I'm nearly done with the write ups, and I've been looking at whether there is anything else I can post on this project, which might be of use or value to others.

I thought I'd post my conversion notes in 2 parts:

The first being some d20 Future to GURPS Spaceships notes; how the d20 Progression Levels match to GURPS Tech Levels, some specific technology discrepancies and assumptions, and notes on exactly what GURPS Spaceships systems and features match up to the d20 Future systems.

The second being general conversion notes, which may be of use to others in converting other generic spaceships to GURPS.

Is there anything else related to this project which would be interest?

There have been a couple of queries on some of the specific choices I've made for a couple of the designs, which I've hopefully answered. I'd be quite happy to post alternative writeups of specific ships, with different tech choices (engines, weapons) if anyone has specific requests.

I may also post a few alternative writeups which have occured to me as I've been doing these posts.

tratclif Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Chillicothe, OH	Re: Spaceships Stats for Future Armada Vessels I'm enjoying this series. I'm wondering why you chose antimatter-pion reaction drives for the Invictus, instead of a reactionless drive. The color text specifies the spin gravity at about 1/2 g. But I'm glad you're doing the heavy lifting not me :) Last edited by tratclif; 01-25-2013 at 08:47 PM.

SCAR Join Date: Oct 2004 Location: Yorkshire, UK	Re: Spaceships Stats for Future Armada Vessels Well, I'm nearly done with the write ups, and I've been looking at whether there is anything else I can post on this project, which might be of use or value to others. I thought I'd post my conversion notes in 2 parts: The first being some d20 Future to GURPS Spaceships notes; how the d20 Progression Levels match to GURPS Tech Levels, some specific technology discrepancies and assumptions, and notes on exactly what GURPS Spaceships systems and features match up to the d20 Future systems. The second being general conversion notes, which may be of use to others in converting other generic spaceships to GURPS. Is there anything else related to this project which would be interest? There have been a couple of queries on some of the specific choices I've made for a couple of the designs, which I've hopefully answered. I'd be quite happy to post alternative writeups of specific ships, with different tech choices (engines, weapons) if anyone has specific requests. I may also post a few alternative writeups which have occured to me as I've been doing these posts.
