Interstellar Wars Ships Using Spaceships

[JMason]

So I decided to give a go at translating the ships from Interstellar Wars to the GURPS Spaceships system. I’m using most of PK’s house rules, except I’ve decided just 1 tank per parsec.

Here are the first couple (I wanted to get some fighters done so I can try out the combat system).


Imperial Missile Fighter $10M

This ship is pretty much armor/engines/launchers. With 33 dDR and 6G acceleration, something had to give in order to make this work with Spaceships design system.

I decided to allow engines in non-rear sections, putting 2 in the center and 2 in the rear. The ship is suppose to be a flattened sphere anyway, so why not? Also, I dropped armor down to 28 dDR (using Nanocomposite) and speed to 4G.

Front Hull
[1-4]	Armor, Nanocomposite (dDR 28) 2M
[5!]	Weapons, Med. Battery (20 cm Fixed Launcher x2, 1.5T) 400k
[6]	Control Room 200k

Central Hull
[1-4]	Armor, Nanocomposite (dDR 28) 2M
[5-6!!]	Reactionless Engines (2G) 0.2M
[core]	Fusion Reactor (2 power) 1M

Rear Hull
[1-4]	Armor, Nanocomposite (dDR 28) 2M
[5-6!!]	Reactionless Engines (2G) 0.2M
[core]	Fusion Reactor (2 power) 1M

Features: Stealth Hull (0.5), Winged (0.5)

Piloting/TL10 (High-Performance Spacecraft)
TL    dST/HP    HT    Hnd/SR    Move    SM    LWt         dDR    Occ
10      30     12      0/4     4G/c    +6    100 tons    28     2

Terran Light Fighter $7M

This is a little more reasonable. I used cheaper armor, as this seems likely for the Terran ships (Nanocomposite seems a bit much anyway). Speed is more important to get in/out of laser range, so not the issue was to get enough power to the engines.

Front Hull
[1-3]	Armor, Advanced Metallic Laminate (dDR 15) 0.6M
[4!]	Weapons, Med. Battery (Fixed Laser x2, 1.5T) 400k
[5]	Control Room 200k
[6]	Fusion Reactor (2 power) 1M

Central Hull
[1-3]	Armor, Advanced Metallic Laminate (dDR 15) 0.6M
[4-6!!!] Reactionless Engines (3G) 0.3M
[core]	Fusion Reactor (2 power) 1M

Rear Hull
[1-3]	Armor, Advanced Metallic Laminate (dDR 15) 0.6M
[4-6!!!] Reactionless Engines (3G) 0.3M
[core]	Fusion Reactor (2 power) 1M

Features: Stealth Hull (0.5), Winged (0.5)

Piloting/TL10 (High-Performance Spacecraft)
TL    dST/HP    HT    Hnd/SR    Move    SM    LWt         dDR    Occ
10      30     12      0/4     6G/c    +6    100 tons    15     2

That's about it for now. Tell me what y'all think.
