The Pinnace uses a 40-ton hull, is capable of 5-G acceleration, carries two tons of fuel, and has a crew of two. [1] It is also known as the Type UMP class Pinnace. It typically comes in a 40 ton smallcraft variation. Some call it a skimmer. And fuel collecting varieties of it are known as Fuel Skimmers.

Description (Specifications)[edit]

It may mount two lasers, and any remaining weapons must be missile racks or sandcasters. It has 22.4 tons of excess space, and typically costs MCr20. [1]

Small craft or boat of interplanetary (though not interstellar) capability. Approximate displacement: 40 tons. The Pinnace is a larger version of the ship's boat, capable of 5 Gs acceleration, carrying up to 8 passengers and displacing 40 tons. It has a fuel tank capacity of 12 tons and an equal cargo capacity. Pinnaces are usually armed with one beam or pulse laser in a non-turret mount. In some cases, a missile launch rack is installed instead.
