Interactive Classic Traveller ship construction.
Rules clarifications and known differences from The Traveller Book:
The standard hull engineering and drive tonnage limit for 200-ton hulls has been increased to 30 tons (from the printed 15 tons), despite no errata addressing this. This corrects an issue where at least one canonical ship design exceeds the printed limit while being listed as a standard hull, brings the 200-ton hull into line with the 15% drive-space allocation used at every other standard hull size, and is consistent with later supplements and work released by Marc Miller.
Several ship prices produced by this calculator differ from the values printed in The Traveller Book. Where that is the case the discrepancy is noted in the ship description. Where there is a reasonable explanation — luxury fittings, specialised laboratory equipment, and similar items not individually costed in the design rules — that explanation is noted as well.

Description
Using a 100-ton hull, the scout/courier is intended for exploration, survey, and courier duties, with many in service throughout known space. It mounts jump drive-A, maneuver drive-A, and power plant-A, giving performance of jump-2 and 2-G acceleration. Fuel tankage of 40 tons supports the power plant and one jump-2. Adjacent to its bridge is a computer Model/1bis. There are four staterooms and no low berths. The ship has one hardpoint and one ton allocated to fire control. Installed on the hardpoint is one double turret, but no weaponry is mounted. There is one ship's vehicle: an air/raft. Cargo capacity is 3 tons. The hull is streamlined. The scout/courier requires a crew of one: pilot/engineer. The ship can carry three passengers (up to seven passengers double occupancy) in non-commercial service only. The ship costs MCr29.43 (including 10% discount for standard designs) and takes 9 months to build. |
