Starship – 2000ton Type-TJ Frontier Transport
General Information
Using a 2000-ton, TL15 hull, the Type-TJ Class Transport mounts jump drive-V3 and power plant-V3, giving a performance of jump-6. Fuel tankage supports a 6 parsec jump, at 200t per parsec, and 0.5 months of operations. Attached to the bridge is a Computer Model/6 std. There are 12 crew staterooms and 5 low berths. Installed weaponry include 3 T3 Missiles, 3 T3 Fusion Guns, and 4 T3 Sandcasters. The ship does have 40 tons of cargo space. The ship has a streamlined hull, with scoops for frontier refueling.
Carried craft include 1 Cargo Shuttle, 1 Air/Raft Enclosed, and 1 Grapple Set Triple. The ship has 6 crew plus gunners, flight and troops, and can carry 5 low passengers.
Notes
At Jump-6 this design is essentially not possible as there is no way to fit these stats into the ship while still retaining a 300dt (4050kl) Cargo bay. My design has 36dt overtonnage to fit a 40dt cargobay inside. rediculously small I’d say. And the concept of computers seems to have changed in T5, because neither this nor the Type-TI could ever fit thre Model/9 computers ito the hull and still come close to the MT stats.
J5 Variant
There will be a J5 design IMTU which has 300 tons of cargo. Interesting, the Jump-5, version hits the other MT stats of the Type-TJ exatly, here js the YML source file to compare: Type-TJ_Jump-5-Variant
J6 Variant with drop tanks
I will design a drop tank for the ship that would be useable by both variants. Maybe this way a Jump 6 version with 300dt cargobay becomes possible. As I designed the ship with ghe crevice undrrneath the hull as pictured in the MT Rebellion Sourcebook, that hull extension would fit in there exactly. The shuttle hangar has to be put on Deck B and C though (as in the deckpkans above). But that is low priority now.
2500 dt Variant/redesign (followong the MgT stats)
Yet another possibility would be to increase the base volume to 2500 dt to get more volume, but that needs to be designed still. The 2500 ton Type-TI/TJ Frontier Transport will be discussed on it’s own page.

Frontier Transport (Cost OTU: MCr975.7)
Cargo should be 300 tons, we have 40 tons here an still 36.5 tons overtonnage.
Frontier Transport serve mainly Class-C starport near the fringe of the Imperium. They do not normally carry passengers and are known for their very cramped crew living quarters, but out being on a special imperial duty these crews might be driven by more than comfort.
Overtonnage: 36.5 tons
Crew comfort: -2
Passenger demand: -5
