Costs would undoubtedly go up once you start adding features from High Guard or other starship generation rules. I always figured it was generally comparable to the Empress Marava far trader which costs MCr66.Robert Pearcehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18082305855923112645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5459293513569472778.post-54881581034125255752021-06-16T14:32:36.749-07:002021-06-16T14:32:36.749-07:00Is there a construction cost for this ship?

I've never accepted the idea that the ramp here is too steep as there are several ways to make it work as shown (ramp surface includes fold out stair treads, ramp surface includes motorized tread surface beneficial for boarding and loading/unloading cargo, ramp includes moderate repulsor grav plating,ramp includes telescoping inner ramp, etc, etc.) I just don't feel the need to resolve every operational parameter for the sake of those who would rather point out supposed design flaws rather than engaging their imagination.<br /><br />The ship was designed per Book 2 construction rules, and the only TL restriction is for the computer, which could go as low as TL5 for a model 1 (as weird as that seems). Unless someone were to stat it per High Guard or other rules - gear heading is no longer a passion of mine) - I always assume my ships are Imperial average at TL12.Robert Pearcehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18082305855923112645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5459293513569472778.post-90142884172250463412020-04-08T14:55:18.712-07:002020-04-08T14:55:18.712-07:00One good way to handle the ramp issues is using ja...One good way to handle the ramp issues is using jack-type landing pylons. extend them and land and then settle down to reduce your ramp angle. Or just use a longer ramp as that will cut the angle. <br /><br />I have a question: What's the TL for this build?

I've always had a problem with ramps in my own designs, because to have a ramp which actually seems usable, it takes up a *lot* of room. My own ships for Traveller have always drifted to the ground like a downy feather and sat directly on the ground (no landing gear as such) or else had cargo lifts.brooksby1971https://www.blogger.com/profile/03652170830982307289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5459293513569472778.post-29718228212999662302016-09-06T00:18:14.687-07:002016-09-06T00:18:14.687-07:00A+ ship design I was wondering if I could the manu...A+ ship design I was wondering if I could the manufacture costs etc of the ships.Geeveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05627410814524998820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5459293513569472778.post-32371650216953949582016-08-19T18:18:41.604-07:002016-08-19T18:18:41.604-07:00Your link just leads to each user's Google Dri...Your link just leads to each user's Google Drive page.
