Built on the 200-ton hull, the Lady of Shallott class Yacht is a noble's plaything used to entertain friends and undertake political or commercial missions. [1] The Lady of Shallott-class shown in these plans is but one of several versions of the Type Y Yacht.
Description (Specifications)[edit]
The basic Type Y Yacht is a noble's plaything; not a particularly efficient vessel, but plush and comfortable.
The ship has a performance of Jump-1 and 1-G acceleration. Fuel tankage of 50 tons supports the power plant and allows two successive jump-1. Adjacent to the bridge is a model/1 computer. There are fourteen staterooms; two have been combined into a suite for the owner aboard. There are no low berths. [1]
No turrets or weaponry are installed, but there is one hardpoint and one ton has been set aside for fire control. The yacht carries an air/raft and a ship's boat in hull compartments; an ATV is also carried, and the ship's boat is fitted to ferry it from orbit to surface and back. There is a cargo compartment for eleven tons. The yacht is unstreamlined. [1]
The yacht requires a crew of four: pilot, engineer, medic, and steward. Gunners, additional stewards, and other personnel may be added as required. The yacht costs MCr51.057 and typically takes eleven months to build. [2]
The upper deck is taken up by the bridge and by accommodations for the owner (who has a suite topped by a magnificent transparent bubble) and guests. The guest rooms are not overly large, but they are quite luxurious.
The lower deck holds crew quarters, the galley and crew lounge, a dumb waiter-life arrangement that leads up to the passenger lounge above, engineering, and storage for cargo and the ship's vehicles.
An orbit-to-orbit ship, the yacht carries a 30ton ship's boat with passenger accommodations and space for cargo or the ATV. This is the link between the yacht and the planets visited. Weapons are rarely mounted on the yacht, though space is reserved for one hardpoint, usually mounted above the amidships portion of the upper deck.
Yachts are often excellent sources of employment for adventurers with star-faring experience. Paid professional crews are sometimes hard to come by; many nobles hardly ever use their vessels, but need a full-time crew to care for the ship, and to transfer it from one world to another (particularly when the noble has several far-flung estates).
