[Spaceships] Star Trek Ships
Someone asked me to stat out a few Star Trek ships using Spaceships for their DS9 game. I decided to start off with the workhorse: the Danube-class Runabout. However, I've run into a snag -- I'm not sure about a few of the systems.
Here's what I have so far: TL: 12^ SM: +6 Loaded Mass: 100 tons Length: 23.1 m dST/HP: 30 Hnd/SR: 0/4 Streamlined: Yes Front: [1] Armor, Exotic Laminate: dDR 20; $2M [2] Control Room: Complexity 9 computer; Comm/Sensor 7, 2 control stations; 0 workspaces; $200K [3] Enhanced Comm/Sensor Array: Array Level 9; 0 workspaces; $200K [4] Passenger Seating: 6 seats; $30K [5!] Weapons, Medium Battery: 3 type 4 phasers; damage 4dx10; beam output 10MJ; 0 workspaces; $600K [6!] Weapons, Medium Battery: 3 type 4 phasers; damage 4dx10; beam output 10MJ; 0 workspaces; $600K [core] Middle: [1] Armor, Exotic Laminate: dDR 20; $2M [2] Cargo Hold: 5 tons [3!] Light Force Screen: dDR 50; $1.5M; 0 workspaces [4] Habitat: 2 cabins; 0 workspaces; $300K [5] Weapons, Medium Battery: 2 micro-photon torpedo launchers, 1 left over; damage 4dx10; launcher caliber 20 cm; missile shots 7; 1.5 tons cargo; $400K [6!] Replicator: 1.5 lbs/hr; 0 workspaces; $100M [core] Rear: [1] Armor, Exotic Laminate: dDR 20; $2M [2!] Contragravity Lifter: 0 workspaces; $1M [3] Engine Room: 1 workspace, $30K [4!] Super Reactionless Engine: $600M; 100G acceleration [5!] Stardrive, Warp Drive: 0 workspaces; $1M [6] [core] Power Plant, Total Conversion: 5 PP; unlimited endurance; 0 workspaces; $6M Features: Artificial Gravity: $100K Gravatic Compensator: $100K Switches: Force Screen Variants: Hardened; Reality-Stabilized FTL Comm FTL Active Sensor Multiscanner Array Crew: 2 Control Room (Pilot and Co-Pilot/Gunner); 1 Engine Room (Engineer) Passengers: 6 What I'm missing is one core system and one additional rear system. I don't think the Runabout has much "open space". Thoughts?

Re: [Spaceships] Star Trek Ships
One thing you need to remember, btw, is that the nature of what a warp engine is changed from TOS to TNG.
In TNG they became propulsion units, in TOS they generated power and also propelled. Also, don't try to assign a flat TL to the ship. Trek is a great example of different TL development in different areas (ie; computers, weapons, propulsion, shielding, transporters, etc...) RH

http://www.coldnorth.com/owen/game/s...c/runabout.htm http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Danube_class Basically the Runabout is a modular ship. It's really just got the cockpit with 4 crew positions. Con, Navigation, Science and Engineering stations (all of them having a 'seat'), then right behind it is a small space for the two person transporter, behind it is a door, going through that leads to a big 'empty' space room (where most of the modules can go), at the end of the big empty room there's another door that leads back to a 'crew' lounge. As you enter their are two small bunks on either side of the wall with privacy curtains, to your right a little further in is a food replicator in a wall, to the left, a little further in past the bunks on the left side is a chair with a computer station, and in the 'center' of the room is a small table with 4 chairs. That the basic layout of the ship. It also only seems to have one phaser emitter, and two torpedo tubes with one micro photon torpedo each loaded inside. It also seems to be 25 yards long, which I think 'might' hedge it into SM +7 All in all it's a cute little ship. I wonder if Starfleet would sell that at surplus stores. :D What a neat PC starter ship!

Re: [Spaceships] Star Trek Ships
Here's what I've come up with. Pick apart, please!
Danube-class Runabout TL: 12^ SM: +6 Loaded Mass: 100 tons Length: 23.1 m dST/HP: 30 Hnd/SR: 0/4 Streamlined: No Front: [1] Armor, Exotic Laminate: dDR 20; $2M [2] Control Room: Complexity 9 computer; Comm/Sensor 7, 2 control stations; 0 workspaces; $200K [3] Enhanced Comm/Sensor Array: Array Level 9; 0 workspaces; $200K [4] Passenger Seating: 6 seats; $30K [5!] Weapons, Medium Battery: 3 type 4 phasers; damage 4dx10; beam output 10MJ; 0 workspaces; $600K [6!] Weapons, Medium Battery: 3 type 4 phasers; damage 4dx10; beam output 10MJ; 0 workspaces; $600K [core] Middle: [1] Armor, Exotic Laminate: dDR 20; $2M [2] Habitat: 2 cabins, 1 bunk, 1 teleport projector; 0 workspaces; $320K [3] Reconfigurable System: 0 workspaces; $1M [4] Reconfigurable System: 0 workspaces; $1M [5] Weapons, Medium Battery: 2 micro-photon torpedo launchers, 1 left over; damage 4dx10; launcher caliber 20 cm; missile shots 7; 1.5 tons cargo (extra torps); $400K [6!] Replicator: 1.5 lbs/hr; 0 workspaces; $100M [core] Reconfigurable System: 0 workspaces; $1M Rear: [1] Armor, Exotic Laminate: dDR 20; $2M [2!] Contragravity Lifter: 0 workspaces; $1M [3] Engine Room: 1 workspace, $30K [4!] Super Reactionless Engine: $600M; 100G acceleration [5!] Stardrive, Warp Drive: 0 workspaces; $1M [6!] Light Force Screen: dDR 50; $1.5M; 0 workspaces [core] Power Plant, Total Conversion: 5 PP; unlimited endurance; 0 workspaces; $6M Features: Artificial Gravity: $100K Gravatic Compensator: $100K Switches: Force Screen Variants: Hardened; Reality-Stabilized FTL Comm FTL Active Sensor Multiscanner Array Crew: 2 Control Room (Pilot and Co-Pilot/Gunner); 1 Engine Room (Engineer) Passengers: 6 Cost: $720M new The most common uses of the Reconfigurable Systems are as Cargo Hold, Passenger Seating, and Habitat.

Re: [Spaceships] Star Trek Ships
Looking at the deckplans I think it needs two star drives - at least so you can say "target port nacelle" ;-)

Spending 83% of the cost of the ship on the STL engines is very odd in a craft who's primary mode of transport is FTL. Spending 14% of the cost of the ship on the galley/machine shop for a short endurance scout is also not a great idea. |

Re: [Spaceships] Star Trek Ships
Super reactionless is actually $600k. The listed cost is a typo. However, you may want to consider using a super-conversion torch drive instead, since I recall that most impulse drives have exhaust.
I'd use two spaces for the warp drive. The Star-Trek power plant type is clearly an anti-matter reactor. You should probably only use one space for the phaser banks. For the replicator system, maybe use one cabin-sized space, treat it's production ability as though it's an instant nanofactory, and don't multiply it's cost by x20... maybe by x2. The runnabouts don't have 'reconfigurable systems' - they don't morph or transform. Instead, use two spaces for cargo have one open space. These spaces are perhaps 'modular' to some extent, in that Starfleet engineers might bolt down some equipment in the cargo bays. |
