    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.

    I never thought Spacedock stats could look that simple!

    what about the Sensor systems. I thougt the Space shuttle had at least Radar for navigational purposes. I figure it to be pretty useless beyond orbit.
    But what should be its theoretical effective range?
    anyone a siggestion?

    I think the Radar was a add on for the shuttle used for the mapping of the Earth. Other than that the stats I used was just the size and year.
