Type R2 class Subsidized Merchant |
The Type R2 class Subsidized Merchant is a relatively common modification of the stock Type R class Subsidized Merchant and can be found throughout Charted Space.
Description (Specifications)
Stretched Subsidized Merchant (Type R2): Using a 500-ton hull, the Stretched Merchant is an enlarged, Jump-2 version of the Type R Subsidized Merchant. It mounts jump drive-E, maneuver drive-E, and power plant-E, giving a performance of jump-2 and 2-G acceleration. Fuel tankage for 120 tons supports the power plant and allows one jump-2. Adjacent to the bridge is a computer Model/2. There are 14 staterooms and ten low berths. The ship has two hardpoints and two tons allocated to fire control; no weapons are mounted. There is one ship's vehicle: a 20-ton launch. Cargo capacity is 240 tons; the cargo hold is plumbed for collapsible and demountable fuel tanks. The hull is streamlined.
The Stretched Merchant requires a crew of six: pilot, navigator, two engineers, medic, and steward. The ship can carry eight high/middle passengers and ten low passengers; maximum life-support capacity is 28. The ship costs MCr 116.1 (not counting weapons) and takes 20 months to build at Tech Level 11.
History & Background (Dossier)
This is a "stretch" modification of the stock Type R class Subsidized Merchant into a larger and faster ship, assuming that the crew/passenger/bridge section (where most of the complex systems would be) is relatively standard and adding hull metal and standard engine pods is relatively easy.
