Affiliation: Open Market

Manufacturer: Ringovinda StarYards

Model: Novroski-class armored transport

Modularity: Extensive (cargo holds; modifying cargo hold space to passenger space, and vice-versa, takes longer than displacing bulkheads inside a cargo hold)

Production: Mass-Produced.

Material: Alusteel, transparisteel (outer hull), quadranium (hull frame)

Classification: Armored transport

Length: 391 meters

Width: 82 meters

Height: 210 meters

Armament: 5 (9 triple-tube turbolasers)
Defenses: 7

Hangar: 1/2 squadron (6 fighters) in its default configuration; can be brought up to 2 squadrons if so fitted

Special Features:

- Tensor field generator and inertial compensator (especially useful in armored cargo hold)
- 3 tractor beams

Maneuverability Rating: 11

Speed Rating: 11

Hyperdrive Class: 1.5

Strengths:

- Faster than normal freighters
- Internal space can be flexible in use
- Strong hull

Weaknesses:

- Just a man (has neither the firepower nor the hangar of dedicated warships)
- Modifying the internal space layout can be a lengthy process
- Armored cargo holds make it an expensive ship to build

Description:

- Cargo hold: 20,000 tons (default) - 50,000 tons (if fully used for cargo)
- Passengers: 1,000 (default) - 1,700 (if fully used for passenger transport)
- Consumables: 1 standard year
- Crew: 125

The Novroski-class armored transport was designed in response to raids on shipping near Ringo Vinda, where pirates regularly attack in such force that starfighter escort is insufficient to deal with them. In response to pirate raids in the corner of the Outer Rim in which Ringo Vinda resides, Ringovinda StarYards developed an armored freighter that can be converted for freight use or for passenger use and is armed with capital ship-grade weapons (albeit not in sufficient amount to turn it into a warship). Also, due to the delicate, fragile even, nature of the cargo being shipped in the sector, the Novroski-class comes equipped with a tensor field generator and an intertial compensator to ensure the integrity of the cargo being transported, even after taking substantial punishment, so long as the ship survives.

Development Thread: None

Intent: Allow Ringovinda StarYards to build a "Brinks-style" ship for transportation of valuables

I think that this might be "Novroski-class Armored Transport".

- Advanced navicomputer - Advanced life support systems
How are each of these advanced? Can you describe them in more detail?



Charzon Loulan said:
- Tensor field generator and inertial compensator (especially useful in armored cargo hold)

Can you expand how these systems interact with the armored cargo hold in your description?

Description:

Typically we want at least a small paragraph that describes the concept of the design. It should also explain any unusual features that the design has (such as the items I've mentioned above) and it may include things like its history or how it fits into the universe.
 
Now that I've removed the "advanced navicomputer" and the "advanced life support systems" for run-of-the-mill ones, but explained the role the tensor field generator and inertial compensator would play onboard the ship...
