Modifiers to Hull Rating:

Interior Design/Construction:

Partial Comapartmentalization: +5%

Total Compartmentalization: +10%

 

Hull Construction:[Hardened Steel assumed to be standard]

Planetoid Hull: +10 Body, +10 Def, ½ Cost, cannot enter atmosphere

Buffered Planetoid Hull: +15 Body, +15 Def, 2/3 Cost, cannot enter atmosphere

Both planetoid hulls can have armor added, but get no bonuses for hull type, or for interior design

They also cannot be equipped with stealth hulls.

 

Advanced Hull Material I[ Titanium Alloy]: +1 Body/+1 Def

Advanced Hull Material II [Light Composite]: +2 Body/+1 Def

Advanced Hull Material III [Composite Laminate]: +2 Body/+2 Def

Advanced Hull Material IV [Crystal Iron]: +5% Body/+3 Def, can add thermal superconducting armor

Advanced Hull Material V [superdense]: +10% Body/ +4 Def, can add tsa

Advanced Hull Material VI [bonded Superdense]: +20% Body, +8 Def, can add tsa

Advanced Hull Material VII [Coherent Superdense]: +25% Body, +12 Def, can add tsa

Advanced Hull Material VIII [Living Metal]: +15% Body, no tsa, regenerates 1 Body per Hour, *3 Cost

Advanced Hull Material IX [biomechanical]: Standard Body, regens 1 body per Day, *2 Cost

Advanced Hull Material X[battlemech Armor]: +3 DEF, +2 Body, counts as hardened TSA

Advanced Hull Material XI[Ferro Fibrous Mech Armor] +5 Def, +3 Body, counts as hardened tsa

Advanced Hull Material XIII[Ferro Aluminum Armor] +4 Def, +3 Body, Counts as TSA, brittle

Advanced Hull Material XIV[battlemech etc EndoSteel Internal Structure]: +3 Body, extra bulky

 

Hull Types:

Dispersed/Open Structure: cannot enter atmosphere, no added armor[Def 4], adds +4 body, often modular, .75 cost

Needle: Airframe or streamlined, fully atmospheric, adds +3 body, Airframe adds +2 PSR for maneuvers, cost of basic hull is *2 CR

Wedge: AF or SL, fully atmospheric, adds +2 body, AF +2 PSR, *1.5 Cr

Cylinder: AF or SL, fully atmospheric, adds +1 body, AF +1 PSR, *1.25 CR

Box: SL only, partially atmospheric, adds +1 body, standard cost

Sphere: SL Only, partially atmospheric, standard body, standard cost

Dome/Disk: AF or SL, fully atmospheric, adds +2 body, AF +1 PSR, *1.25 cost

Close Structure: Unstreamlined, adds +2 body, *1.25 cost

Slab: AF or SL, +2 body, +1 PSR, *1.5 cost

 

Sensor Packages:

Traveller sensor packages are divided into active and passive sets.

 

The Active Arrays can have a range of anywhere from 3,000 to 480,000 kilometers

And consists of a variety of active and passive sensor emitters, making it a much more sophisticated

Version of Radar.[Radar, Lidar, Sonar]

 

Passive sensor arrays, use large antennae to detect any electromagnetic emanations from a potential target.

These are extremely sophisticated and precise sensors.[High Res Thermal, Densitometers, and Neural Activity Sensors are all passive.
