Demio Saud-Kruger / Gutamaya villa scgu 6 FSD

Medium Saud-Kruger / Gutamaya with size 6 FSD

Nadreck · 2020-05-26T17:17:57+00:00

There have been many requests for a medium-sized Saud Kruger ship, and also for a medium-sized Gutamaya Imperial ship, both ship lineups go straight from Small to Large. But personally I think we have enough ships already, especially in the Medium category: in particular, we really don't need another Python or Krait2, and there are a heck of a lot of Medium warships. But if a new Medium ship offers something different... then why not? Currently the DBX is the only Small ship with a size 5 FSD, but there isn't a Medium equivalent, a Medium with a size 6 FSD. So that's what I'm proposing: a Saud Kruger / Gutamaya joint venture. It will be the equivalent of a Learjet or luxury yacht: a similar role to the Dolphin, but at a much higher price point, the most expensive Medium ship. This is for a wealthy tycoon or high-ranking Imperial diplomat to travel swiftly and stylishly. Relatively light armament (it isn't a warship), ability to fit Luxury cabins, ability to carry an SLF (RL luxury yachts can often carry helicopters, speedboats, even a midget submarine). But without the internal capacity to be a viable freighter. Price: 90 million (slightly more expensive than a Beluga). Appearance: Probably similar to an enlarged and somewhat flattened Dolphin with Gutamaya outriggers. Close to the maximum size for a Medium pad (like the Mamba), so the outriggers would be fairly close to the body, maybe more like those of a Star Trek shuttlecraft. Hardpoints: 2 Medium, 2 Small, plus SLF capability (i.e. Keelback equivalent). Utilities: 3 (again, as Keelback). Core: Powerplant size 5 Thrusters size 6 FSD size 6 Life Support size 5 Power Distributor size 5 Sensors size 4 Fuel tank size 5 (32t) Optional Internals: 5 5 4 3 2 2 1 1. Speed/Agility: as Python. Mainly designed for jumping, but OK handling in normal space. Mass/Hull: 320t, 200 hull Shield: 200mj (with size 5 shield) With a lightweight build, this ship will easily out-jump the Anaconda. It will therefore be of some interest to explorers. But it's far more expensive than the DBX or AspX, so mainly it will be a competitor for the Krait Phantom and Anaconda. But it won't be a direct replacement for them, due to very limited internals (in that regard, it isn't much of an improvement over the DBX and AspX). The Phantom has more and bigger internals than this (as does the Anaconda, of course). It will also have the same issue as the DBX and Beluga have: a fuelscoop one size smaller than the FSD. Clear cockpit view, but without the lookdown ability of the AspX and Phantom. The restriction on the number of size 5 slots (two) is deliberate. Size 5 is the smallest size for a Luxury cabin, the smallest size for an SLF hangar, the smallest viable size for a fuelscoop (for the size 6 FSD), and one size smaller than most Medium ships use for a shield generator. Difficult decisions will have to be made during outfitting. This is a pleasure yacht wrapped around an oversized FSD, leaving limited room for other stuff. It would be a good choice for commuting to/from a Carrier in deep space, or a distant planetary base (if we get those). Or for taking rich tourists to distant attractions, or transporting high-risk VIP's within the Bubble in as few jumps as possible to minimise interception. Or just for messing about, of course: an expensive toy.
