Hello,
I'm baaaaack!
I spend an inordinate amount of time in a certain ground car, so
I thought I'd give it to you. Sorry, I don't have a song for
this one.
James once said his car is approved for traveller, so...
CraftID: Ford Fairmont, 1982, TL7, Cr 1287
Hull: (8/19) Disp=.81, Unload=.6, Load=1.1
Power: (1/1) IntComb=28Kw, Dur=5hrs
Loco: (1/1) Wheels, Road=106Kph, OffRoad=32Kph
(Unloaded=121Kph, OffRoad=40Kph,
Flat out top sprint speed=136Kph)
(With 1 ton trailer=88Kph)
Will hit resonance points when travelling above
121 Kph: the car begins to shake and then it damps out.
Resonance Points: 122Kph, 125Kph, 128Kph. Above
128Kph, car will shake continuously. I have run the
car up to an estimated 176Kph. This was with some
*serious* gravitational assist though. And the
speedometer only registers up to 136Kph.
Acceleration Unloaded: 0 to 88Kph in 18 seconds :-(
Comm: Radio=Reciever
Sensors: Headlight*4
Off/Def: Stealth body work: Styling and paint boring. This
makes it far less noticable to law enforcement types.
Control: Electronic*1
Accom: Seats=Cramped*4, None*2, BasEnv
(if four passengers carried, treat seats as adequate)
Other: Fuel=18liters, Cargo=.4Kl, Objsize=Sm, EMLevel=Mod,
Above 117kph EMLevel becomes strong,
Oil consumption: 1 liter/1000 kilometers
May tow 40cm Autocannon w/225 rnds ammo (price not
included) I sometimes wish I had paid for that
option...
According to the design table the fuel is 18 liters... It's
actually more like 45 liters
Cruising: During extended periods of cruise, max advisable speed
(unloaded) is 117Kph without air-conditioning. Higher speeds
should have the heating engaged to provide additional cooling for
the engine. With air-conditioning, max advisable speed is 104Kph
How's that for silly?!
