shadowcat1313 Posted July 16, 2005 Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 I had a warped idea... I was thinking about posting a new starship design a week for a while, and opening it for discussion... or a new vehicle... I want to see more of both, and more colorful designs good idea? bad idea? silly idea? I will start the ball rolling and keep going until somebody tells me to stop or theres no real interest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowcat1313 Posted July 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 Re: Star Hero Idea: Starship of the week thats my intention at least... I have enough design ideas from my own archives I can easily get the ball rolling on this what kind of designs do people want to see? its my intention to stay away from variants on published material, although I was kind of disapointed in some of the published stuff. I will stick with the standard star hero conventions unless folks want to see more Traveller Hero stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Kilsco Posted July 17, 2005 Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 Re: Star Hero Idea: Starship of the week Hmm, that reminds me a special section in a French Fading Suns forum where a contributor regularly posts the description of spaceships he designed, with very impressive three-dimension pictures. You'll find that here. Obviously, there are no Hero stats for these spaceships. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowcat1313 Posted July 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 Re: Star Hero Idea: Starship of the week for the first ship of the week heres my idea: ITM Solaris Passenger Liner a Luxury Passenger Liner in the grand tradition of the 20th century ocean going liners, capable of carrying 500 some passengers between the stars in style Notes: Size 24 or 25 unstreamlined hull, will depend on shuttles and high ports, defensive armarment only, PD, 4 laser turrets 4 shuttles and escape pods 500 total passengers, 600 displacement[3,000 mass] tons of freight, 128 Low berths. Backup systems and extensive security systems Ship will be fitted with really basic sensors, Radar, IR, UV, Optical Telescopes and radio and laser commo Thoughts on this Idea? its a ship design that I've never seen in Star Hero etc, but one would think would still exist.

Lord Kilsco Posted July 18, 2005 Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 Re: Star Hero Idea: Starship of the week Hey' date=' thanks Lord Kilsco. Thats an interesting link, even if just for the pictures as I dont read French. I'll probably end up using some of these pictures for ship designs in the SH game I am working on.[/quote'] You're welcome. I like these pictures too and I use them for my own spaceships in Star Hero. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Cat, I haven't used my old Inspire 3d (The short-lived "Lightwave Lite") software for some time and thought I might try and do a basic model with it. When you say 128 low births, would everyone get the same ticket, or would there be 1st, 2nd, and 3rd class passengers? And would they have separate accomodations? (For example, I could definitely see the 1st class accomodations each having a survival pod, while 3rd class passengers share rooms and an evacuation shuttle.) How many crew, BTW?

AlHazred Posted July 18, 2005 Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 Re: Star Hero Idea: Starship of the week ITM Solaris Passenger Liner a Luxury Passenger Liner in the grand tradition of the 20th century ocean going liners, capable of carrying 500 some passengers between the stars in style Have you ever seen the old FASA Traveller supplement Action Aboard? It took place aboard a starship called the I.S.C.V. King Richard, a luxury space liner. Despite some issues with the supplement (the fluff text description does not really match the deckplans, the number of staterooms seem to be off, there's no real space for fuel tankage), the book itself was pretty good. There're a T20 stat conversion for it here, about 3/4 of the way down the page, but I don't know how accurate it is. When I get home, I'll check with the module itself and see how closely it matches; if it's decently close it give you some ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starwolf Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 Re: Star Hero Idea: Starship of the week I will start posting Starships from my Alternity Hero conversion in a few days of days... I still need to work out 2 conversion aspects before I am ready to start posting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CSgeekHero Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 Re: Star Hero Idea: Starship of the week Good stuff. I think I can use this in my possible campaign that I have floating in my head. EDIT:oops, this was meant for the starliner thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
