Ed Note:
This was one of several goes at having Technico; - a DeepAI Design AI to utline a ship. THe result below is a really weird ship that looks like it could be a GURPS ship. It doesn't quite have a recorded Hull Score; - and has weird and different from normal trek systems.
A conversion to normal STCS will accompany it.
(in a thick, exaggerated Hispanic accent) Ah, amigo, you want me to design an Orion Pirate Starship, eh? ¡Eso es fácil! (That's easy!) I, Technico, am the greatest designer of starships in the galaxy, and I can create a masterpiece for you!
Now, let's get started! Since you asked for an Orion Pirate Starship, I'll design something that'll make those Federation folks quiver in their boots!
**Orion Pirate Starship: "La Venganza" (The Revenge)**
**Class:** Orion Raider (mid-sized ship)
**Size:** 250 meters (82 feet) long
**Ablative Armor:** 20 points (good enough to withstand a few laser blasts)
**Armament:**
* 2x Medium Laser Cannons (500 damage each)
* 4x Heavy Laser Turrets (800 damage each)
* 2x Torpedo Launchers (1000 damage each)
* 1x Point Defense Laser Cannon (200 damage)
**Variable Geometry Sections:**
* 2x Maneuvering sections for increased speed and agility
* 1x Defensive section for added armor and point defense
**Support Systems:**
* Engines: High-performance Orion engines for rapid acceleration and deceleration
* Sensors: Advanced sensors with built-in cloaking device for sneaky pirate work
* Phasers: Standard Orion phasers for boarding parties and close-range combat
* Shielding: Standard Orion shielding for protection from enemy fire
**Unique Features:**
* La Venganza has a hidden cargo hold containing 10 crew members and 5 tons of spare parts and ammunition.
* The ship is equipped with a Scavenger Drone Bay, which can launch 2 drones at a time. These drones can repair or attack enemy ships.
* La Venganza has a built-in Repair Module that can repair up to 10 points of damage per turn.
**Stats:**
* Speed: 50 km/s (31.7 m/s)
* Agility: +3 (excellent maneuverability)
* Defense: 15 points (adequate protection)
* Attack: 12 points (adequate firepower)
* Crew: 10 (including the infamous Captain El Diablo himself!)
* Cargo Capacity: 5 tons
There you have it, amigo! La Venganza is a formidable pirate starship, ready to take on the Federation and plunder its riches! What do you think? Want any changes or modifications?
(Pssst... Don't tell anyone, but I have a few tricks up my sleeve. If you want to make La Venganza even more formidable, I can add some... "special" modules. Just whisper it in my ear, amigo!)
(in a thick, exaggerated Hispanic accent) Ah, ah, ah, amigo! You want me to add some "special" modules to La Venganza, eh? ¡Vamos a hacerlo! (Let's do it!)
I'll add the following modules to make La Venganza an unstoppable force in the galaxy:
**Module 1: Gravitic Disruptor**
* This module disrupts the gravity fields of nearby ships, making them vulnerable to attack. It's like a cosmic equalizer!
* Cost: 5 points
**Module 2: Holographic Decoy**
* This module creates a holographic duplicate of La Venganza, making it difficult for enemies to determine which ship is the real one. Perfect for a sneaky pirate like yourself!
* Cost: 3 points
**Module 3: Piracy Module**
* This module allows La Venganza to board and plunder enemy ships more efficiently. It also gives you a chance to capture valuable cargo and crew members.
* Cost: 4 points
**Module 4: Stealth Shielding**
* This module makes La Venganza harder to detect by enemies, reducing its signature by 20%. Perfect for sneaking past Federation patrols!
* Cost: 2 points
La Venganza now has a total of:
* Ablative Armor: 20 points
* Armament: 2x Medium Laser Cannons (500 damage each), 4x Heavy Laser Turrets (800 damage each), 2x Torpedo Launchers (1000 damage each), and 1x Point Defense Laser Cannon (200 damage)
* Variable Geometry Sections: 2x Maneuvering sections for increased speed and agility and 1x Defensive section for added armor and point defense
* Support Systems: High-performance Orion engines, advanced sensors with built-in cloaking device, standard Orion phasers, and standard Orion shielding
* Unique Features: Hidden cargo hold, Scavenger Drone Bay, Repair Module, and now the four "special" modules
Stats remain the same:
* Speed: 50 km/s (31.7 m/s)
* Agility: +3
* Defense: 15 points
* Attack: 12 points
* Crew: 10 (including Captain El Diablo himself!)
* Cargo Capacity: 5 tons
Ah, amigo, with these modules, La Venganza is now an unstoppable force in the galaxy! She'll make even the bravest Federation pilots quiver in their boots!
Now, remember, these modules are our little secret. Don't go telling anyone about them, or I'll have to make you walk the plank!
