Jump Tender in GT Starships?
I want to design some jump tenders. So I reread p.34/35.
AFAICT External Cradles are the way to go. They are limited to 3 units per turret. A Tigress has a LWt of 8,131,673 st and an eWt a bit less than 8,000,000 st. 8,000,000 divided by 125 gives me 64,000 External Cradles, which equals 21,334 turrets, which means a ship of 2,133,400 dt. I really donīt want to build a jump tender of that size to carry a Tigress. In High Guard a jump tender could carry a lot more. Am I missing something? Or should I simply disregard the turret limit for jump tenders? |

Re: Jump Tender in GT Starships?
External Cradles do not have a sAccel limit like Intrinsic Couplings do. So they can stand any acceleration, at least up to 6G. Maybe I could simply say that if I limit sAccel, they can hold correspondingly more? That would solve my problem.
