| All
Purcell's have flexible,
ribbed lower bay doors for enclosure of varying volumes. Without
flexible, ribbed bay doors the Tender will only support 4 Xboats or 2 Scouts. No additional cost for flexible doors. The Purcell's had many common alternate configurations; 1) Tender for 100t vessels - 4 Xboats/Scouts or 5 Xboat/Scouts, 2) System Defense Ship, Corsair or Carrier, 3) Bulk Cargo/Ore Transport between planets or neighboring stars, 4) Refueling vessel with more than 600t of additional fuel, 5) Mass Transit Liner, 6) mobile base, or 7) Belter Refinery ship. If one can consider a possibility for the 1kt Tender, somone has already tried it. Options or Extras: 1. Corsair: 400t Ship Streamlined, Grapple and Dock (120t, .48Mcr) 2. Corsair: Telescoping, Unstreamlined Multi-Fighter Dock (31.5t, .126Mcr) - 7 x15t fighters. The fighters can simultaneously detach using standard gravitics not to collide. One ship round for pilots to leave Corsair, board fighters, and detach. This is very unstreamlined when extended, fighters cannot fire. 3. Gutting the Jump drive and converting to a boat makes 20t available. The new jump drive is valued at 80Mcr. Fuel is integral to the vessel and would require a major modification to remove or convert to cargo. 4. Liner: Entertainment Module, contains all a variety distractions including games, bar, stage, and buffet. (20t,3Mcr) 5. Transport Tender: an External, Unstreamlined Grapple and Jump Net (300t, 1.5Mcr) used to pull as much as 1,000t of cargo-ore outside of the hold. 6. Belter Refinery Ship: Ore-Mineral Refinery 100t, 25Mcr 7. IMTU, a Tender produced in the Commonwealth or Regency might have a TL16 power plant doubling jump fuel capacity. |
