Early Earth space travel

Early Earth space travel

Here is some of the ships that I generated for the latest adventure. The Apollo was the one that we finally used and the Spacelab version.

In creating these ships I had to create the following spacedock tech.

Scientific Instruments
SU’s Cost: 1 Su
Power: 1 power per round
In comparison to to 22nd, 23rd, 24th, and beyond the crude detecting less than one tenth of one percent of what sensor can detect, sensing equipment. These instruments are mostly just radiation detectors, magnetic detection, and electro-magnetic detection. Detection of a few hundred variances in the space around the vessel.

Example:
Scientific Interments
Strength Package: Class 0 (Strength 0)
Gain Package: Standard (+0)
Coverage: Standard

Navigational Instruments
SU’s Cost: 1 Su
Power: 1 power per round
In comparison to 22nd, 23rd, 24th, and beyond the crude directional and altitude determination sensing equipment. These instruments are mostly just compass, and radio directional detection and a few maps.

Example:
Navigational Interments
Strength Package: Class 0 (Strength 0)
Gain Package: Standard (+0)

Chemical Batteries
SU’s Cost: 1 SU per 10 power generated
Chemical batteries create power from a reaction between to or more chemical components.
