hi,
Have you even wondered how a pizza is delivered at TL15? Well, I've got the
answer for you!
Firstly, a series of standard self warming pizza boxes. Each box is designed to
hold a single pizza of the specified size and to keep it at the correct
temperature for a duration of one hour.
CraftID: 12 inch pizza box, Type XT, TL15, Cr39.87
Hull: 1/1 Disp=0.002426, Config=6SL, Armour=1G
Unloaded=0.000020114
Power: Storage Battery 0.000002425MWhrs, Duration=1
Def: DefDM=+2
Control: Environ=basic env
Other: Cargo=0.002413 = 12 inch pizza
ObjSize=Small, EmLevel=Faint
CraftID: 18 inch pizza box, Type XT, TL15, Cr89.71
Hull: 1/1 Disp=0.005457, Config=6SL, Armour=1G
Unloaded=0.000045255
Power: Storage Battery 0.000005457MWhrs, Duration=1
Def: DefDM=+2

Other: Cargo=0.005429 = 18 inch pizza
ObjSize=Small, EmLevel=Faint
CraftID: 24 inch pizza box, Type XT, TL15, Cr159.47
Hull: 1/1 Disp=0.009701, Config=6SL, Armour=1G
Unloaded=0.000080448
Power: Storage Battery 0.000009701MWhrs, Duration=1
Def: DefDM=+2

Other: Cargo=0.009651 = 24 inch pizza
ObjSize=Small, EmLevel=Faint
All of these boxes includes a battery that is able to keep the pizza at a
decent temperature for about one hour. All three of the boxes are 3cm high
and are roughly disc shaped. There is a centimeter or so tolerance around the
edge of the pizza and the edge of the box. Only the unloaded weight is
given since the loaded weight depends heavily upon the type of pizza installed
in the container.
An attempt was made to produce a self delivering version of the above boxes
by fitting a grav drive to them and increasing the battery's capability. The
following series of boxes all have a 1G maneuver drive and can sustain full
power output for a duration of one hour (if the travel time is less than
the hour, the pizza will stay warmer for longer).
These boxes are not overly intelligent but they do provide a fire and forget
delivery system (customers are charged when they place the order).

These self delivering boxes have been banned by most systems in the imperium
due to their dumb nature. They are not able to take evasive action without
substantial extras being added to the basic unit. They have been known to
cause quite impressive damage when things get in their way.
Hows that for an entry into the dumbest grav vehicle and dumbest immobile
design sections?
