Traveller Illustrated

Hi everybody. After dabbling around with approximately 15 different themes I liked the old one best and rolled back to that theme. It doesn’t support advanced menus, but this is a much simpler site than e.g. http://riftroamers.net, where my own Sci-Fi RPG resides and probably doesn’t need all that fancy blinky-blink stuff at all.

If you wish to comment on the site-design, please feel free to do so, but I am quite content atm.

Theme variants I recently tried:

And last but not least the old new scheme…

 

I think now I can concentrate on creating illustrations for Traveller again, instead of redesigning the website. Hope you like and agree…

Cheers, Mirco

 :HEADER Close Escort Gazelle EC-DU55, TL 14, 400 tons, MCr 275.4
 
 :COMMENTS

The Gazelle-class close escort is built using a 400-ton hull with an unstreamlined configuration. It is fitted with an IDC FarDrive jump unit, Model 16 impulse maneuver drives, and a Triptic Halonic Fusion Pair power plant, and is capable of Jump 5 and 5Gs maneuver. It carries fuel tankage for one jump-2 and three months of operations. To this basic package is added a pair of disposable 60-ton fuel pods to provide the total fuel necessary for jump-5. However, with these tanks installed, the ship tonnage is increased to 500 tons, which reduces the ship’s performance to 4-G and jump-4. The tanks may be dropped to allow the higher performance, but the ship then becomes restricted by its lower fuel supply until the tanks are replaced. The ship has fuel scoops and a purification plant, and can refuel by skimming gas giants.

The standard bridge has a Model/6 computer installed and the ship has four hardpoints. Two of the hardpoints allocate five tons each, which allows the installation of particle accelerator barbettes if desired. The remaining two hardpoints sport triple laser turrets. The ship hull is heavily armored. 

The ship has four officer staterooms, eight spacer niches, and a squad barracks. A 20-ton gig, itself armed with a laser mount, is slung beneath the ship, with interlocking hatches provided. The gig is capable of 6-G and carries six acceleration couches and three emergency low berths. It can also carry two tons of cargo.
