Here is a ship that I have been tinkering with using MegaTraveller's ship
construction rules. I basiclly perceive it to be a large trading vessel.
Unfortunatly, I was unable to dervive sufficent cargo space to pay for a
larger jump/manuver drive combo.
Let me know what you think, and if you see any terriable errors let me know.
I plan to use this ship in my upcoming game which will kind of be a Leviathan
adventure (Adventure 4). This configuration should be able to turn a profit
(bairly).

This ship is loosly based on the older Leviathan Merchant Class Ship.
While, it is some 200 tons, larger, this space has gone into a larger
cargo bay (The original had 70 tons). Jump and Manuver were cut back
since this will work jump-2 worlds. The ship contains four decks, and
three sections. The top and bottom decks are landing bays for the
Modular Cutter (cargo and fuel modules) and the ship's launch. These
decks are in the center section of the ship only. Engineering takes
up one section and is comprised of four decks.
