Description / Specifications
The Heavy Pinnace is a fast general purpose craft able to carry out a variety of roles. Similar designs have been in use from the time the Distant Fringe was first settled.
Hull
The Heavy Pinnace is constructed using a 30-dTon hull built in a generally cone-shaped configuration. The hull is fully streamlined.
Engineering
The vessel mounts a maneuver-4 drive and a power plant 4, giving performance of 4G 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 are eight passenger acceleration couches located in the main body of the craft, plus an additional acceleration couch located in the cockpit adjacent to the pilot's position, and three small staterooms. The craft has a cargo capacity of 10 dTons.
- The Heavy Pinnace 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 MCr18.450. The craft is a standard design and qualifies for a 20% discount, which reduces the total price to MCr14.760.
History
An ubiquitous design used throughout the Distant Fringe. The design is representative and a large number of variants exist, particularly with regard to the allotted weapons systems, onboard electronics, and the fit out of internal spaces.
