 February 8, 2018 - 8:57am | Refer to: PT-250 Stratus class transport. I like the look of this ship. Too bad you cant just strap a set of atomic drives on it. I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
 February 9, 2018 - 7:26pm | I dig it as well. Unfortunately it's a SW design, I wouldn't chance it as part of the source book. On the other hand it derives from the WEG game which Disney denounced as canon, so Disney can't chase down copyright infringements...that would have to be up to defunct/up for grabs WEG to pursue. Of course we can't forget the Colonial Chrome Cocksucker who could always come in crying foul over three pixels being arranged in the same fashion as his framastat-3000 ship's cabin doorknob. Traveller might be easier to get away with, although the courier I redesigned really isn't "different enough", at least not beyond the stern extension I made for it. The varints I made of it (merchant courier, assault courier), no problem. |
February 10, 2018 - 3:27pm | Ah yes, I remember colonial chrome tool. I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
February 10, 2018 - 3:29pm | And part of my problem here is that without artificial gravity it makes no sense to add atomic engines to this. But if i had to fly a non void jump ship around one system this might be it. I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
February 11, 2018 - 11:47am | Yeah I really like the overall layout too. On a side note it looks like the original CC site finally fell off the web. However as I mentioned he still hangs out at DeviantArt.com and he has the ship hosted there: https://colonialchrome.deviantart.com/art/G-CEC-YT-250-Kundali-E-550162328 https://colonialchrome.deviantart.com/art/G-CEC-YT-250-Kundali-SL-550162337 |
February 11, 2018 - 11:52am | Well looking at this vessel I think it could be converted to a KHs vertical deck plan- most decks would have an oval layout similar to the large and small freighters in the KHs box set. move the two gun turrets to the outermost of the cylinder tube and allow the cockpit to rotate 90 degree for atmospheric flight. Although a tail first landing would work too. EDIT: top most deck in central part would be the crew lounge with a nice ceiling positioned porthole and some reclining chairs. I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
February 11, 2018 - 12:22pm | Unlike the Magdalena this is a flat ship so to make it KH the drives would have to be invereted 90º below the saucer (where the ventral gun is located). But it gives me an idea...moves some stuff around and palce the drives outboard on either side with gimbals...that way the ship takes off/lands like an airplane but once in orbit it achieves artificial gravity with the 90º rotation of the drives. |
