Hello fellow Travellers,
the following is the design of the Beowulf class Free Trader of TL 15. I hope
this message is on the list only once. I tried to send it some hours ago, but
I got no reply from the demon at engrg, so here it is again. I wonder where
the other mail has gone to, but perhaps James got it on traveller-requests.
If this is so, please tell me James :).
The design starts with a 132 column calculation table and ends with a 80 column
design evaluation and damage location table.

Notes:
The Beowulf class Free Trader is the state-of-the-art construction within
the borders of the ....(Spinward Marches,Regency... insert as you like).
Though the ship costs about 11 MCr more than it's less sophisticated sister,
the Moraine class Free Trader. Based on the same hull, this design includes an
enclosed Air Raft in an internal hangar, more Cargo and sports much easier
maintenance. The ship requires a crew of 4 for full operations.
The ship's power plant has a reserve of more than 10 MW for the addition
of two 150 Mj Laser Turrets.
The Fuel purification machinery(1.25 MW) can refine 250 kl each 6 hours.
The whole Fuel load (1030 kl) can be refined in 24 hours 44 minutes.
