Description / Specifications
The Launch is designed to ferry cargo between locations. It uses the same basic hull as the Lifeboat. Similar designs have been in use from the time the Distant Fringe was first settled.
Hull
The Launch is constructed using a 50-dTon hull built in a generally cone-shaped configuration. The hull is fully streamlined.
Engineering
The vessel mounts a maneuver-2 drive and a power plant 2, giving performance of 2G acceleration. There is fuel tankage of 1 dTon, giving the power plant 4 weeks duration.
Main Section
The vessel is equipped with a computer model/1 and a pilot’s acceleration couch. There is an additional acceleration couch located in the cockpit adjacent to the pilot's position, plus a small stateroom located in the main body of the craft. Cargo capacity amounts to 40 dTons.
- The Launch requires 1 crew: a pilot. If the vessel is carried as a small craft, this individual serves as service crew aboard the parent vessel when not required for piloting duties.
Weapons
The ship has one triple sandcaster turret.
Subcraft
None.
Cost
The basic cost of the vessel is MCr18.850. The craft is a standard design and qualifies for a 20% discount, which reduces the total price to MCr15.080.
History
An ubiquitous design used throughout the Distant Fringe, the Launch is cheap, durable and reliable.
