The Jackie class Seeker is a TL–12 Prospector Vessel.
Description[edit]
Using a surplus scout/courier as a starting point, the seeker is converted to a prospecting and mining ship for a small crew. Two of the four staterooms are removed, and the remaining two are converted to four half-sized staterooms (primarily to provide privacy for each of the crew of four). The crew consists of a pilot and three crew members, although the ship can be operated by only one person. The ship carries its original jump drive-A, maneuver drive-A, and power plant-A, which makes it theoretically capable of jump-2 and 2-G acceleration. The bridge retains the scout/courier's Model/1 bis computer (and its software package) and one ton of fire control for its single hardpoint. The dual turret is fitted with a single pulse laser for use as a mining cutter. The air/raft is traded in on a prospecting buggy; a four-ton grav-powered vehicle with a pressurized cabin and provision for four people. The three-ton cargo compartment is retained, and the hull retains its streamlining. Two ore bays (ten tons each) are formed from fuel tankage, hull space, and instrumentation, reducing fuel tankage to thirty tons. Dismountable fuel tanks can be used in the ore bays to increase the fuel tankage back to forty tons, but at a reduction of ore bay tonnage to ten tons total. With normal tankage, the ship can achieve jump-1;with the dismountable tanks full, the ship can achieve jump-2.
Base price for the surplus scout/courier is MCrl7; conversion costs for the seeker amount to MCr7.59, which include applicable architect's fees
