COMMENTS
1. Columbia class used 2 landing bays (5000t each for all small craft).
No
additional crew or resources are needed. These bays can be used for
cargo if
necessary.
2. Meson spinal has been supstituted for Dual Turbo Laser spinal mount.
3. Fuel Home Rules:
Fuel Purification on battlestars can choose to produce Superfuel
(double jump
fuel). The cost of the Purification system is doubled. Time to purify
fuel is
doubled. Purification System Maintenance is doubled. Crew is doubled.
(1062t, 22 crew, 10,612.5Mcr)
4. Dual Spinal Mount Home Rules:
A Dual Spinal Mount Weapons Carriage has been integrated into the hull.
- The carriage is the size of 2 spinal mounts but requires the
appropriate
amount of hardpoints (aka structural supports) connected to the ship
hull and
the weapons.
- Only 1 spinal mount can be fired in a turn but they can alternate.
- Each spinal mount has a seperate crew.
- Energy Points are only provided to fire 1 at a time in this design.
- The cost is equivalent to 1/2 of an enclosed spinal mount weapon.
- Damage against the spinal mounts should be randomly rolled between
carriage, weapon 1 and weapon 2.
- Firing Both near simultaneously: (where there is a will, there is a
way)
- Should energy
be diverted to fire both, a roll must be made on the
internal ship damage table. This is a result of the structural damage
to the ship.
A referee can return to core rule ideology by converting the 2nd spinal
mount
and carriage to resources (3000t cargo, 11 crew, 20 hardpoints, 200Mcr).
DECK PLANS
Info: The Battlestar Galactica deckplans produced in the 80's actually
consisted mostly of
the BG's equipment.
Battlestar Galactica is the property of Universal Studios. This
is
meant
as free translation of Galactica to Traveller and not a profit based
endevour
or copywrite infringment. These descriptions are based on the 70's
series
and books with some modifications for easier transition to the
Traveller
universe.
