I got this Saturday morning, and thought I'd share it with all of us --
looks interesting.
: I'm trying to get a few facts about the Alcyon.
: First, if anyone knows the formula for the volume of a tetrahedron, please
; send me the dimension(s) for one of 30 million cubic meters. I need the
: length of an edge, and would also appreciate height (from base to apex)
: and area of a face.
: Second, I'd like a definitive answer on the small craft (not including
: probes, etc) carried by the Alcyon. At the moment, I have listed:
: "Fighter" (40t; given the size and the presence of a stateroom, I'd
; call this a Combat Pinnace)
: Fuel Shuttle (95t?)
: Command Shuttle (95t?)

For those who dont remember, the Alcyon is a jump tender, a tetrahedron
with three riders and a bridge up front. I sure wish I remembered the
formula, but alas do not.
Other small vehicles I recall are two grav bikes, an air raft, and grav
bus, and a submersible. There are also small craft that might be
carried by the Aurora, Paladin, and Talisman.
