This is a challenge to build Retro aerospace.
Date does not go any further forward than 2500
advanced tech available
various fighter weights available
ship classes as per "Where's the (KF) Boom"

Here is an example:

Edit: Never let it be said that i don't listen to criticism. and while i don't know why the 3 tons of infantry compartment didn't show up on the build, heres one with a 5 ton infantry compartment
also, the reason you don't see the Marines listed on the sheet, is that putting them there requires bedding for them (even if it is steerage) and no one sleeps on this shuttle, its for boarding intercepts not generic transport

Do we really need SI 30? I mean for a craft this size, 8 or 10 should be enough...

It also give you space and weight to mount the one thing you need but didn't have...

here is another example for you

F-114 Starscream

Mass: 50 tons
Frame: STSM-01 F-114
Power Plant: Pitban 240
Cruising Speed: 64.8 kph
Maximum Speed: 97.2 kph
Armor: Star Slab Standard
Armament:
     1 Medium Laser
     2 AC/5
Manufacturer: New Earth Trading Company
     Primary Factory: New Earth
Communication System: Unknown
Targeting & Tracking System: Unknown
Introduction Year: 2470
Tech Rating/Availability: D/D-X-X-F
Cost: 2,303,750 C-bills

Overview
Intended as an interceptor.the "Starscream" Class-5 Autocannon to do damage while using the medium laser for either close in work, or to cover its retreat when the two tons of autocanon ammunition is depleted.

Capabilities
Armed with two Class-5 Autocannon and a single nose mounted medium laser, the Starscream is a fast mover that packs a punch. Nine and a half tons of armor wrap around its carrier capable frame to protect it. Five tons of fuel provide an average loiter time for the craft.

Deployment
Being a medium weight primitive frame, the F114 has seen combat in practically every conflict since the the expansion of humanity's grip out into the stars.

History
First deployed by the Terran Alliance, the F-114 Starscream was used as a fast attack and ground to space interceptor craft by Alliance pilots during the "Pacification" of various rebelling colonies during the start of the Outer Reaches Rebellion. Since then it has been seen in every military from the Outworlds to the Kowloon Republic. Tough, easily maintained and basically armed the fighter is a fine dogfighter, and has a good power to weight ratio allowing it to reach orbit in short order.

The Explorer II class colony jumpship is meant to carry a professional colony team of 105 experts to start two colony stations via their dropships to the designated planet. Survey crews from the EX-1 Explorer I class ships will have already picked out and marked the most likely landing spots for the colony teams to land at and each team will have a multitude of equipment available to start their colony.

Each colony starter crew is 26 individuals for farming, equipment operations, and building while the dropships provide initial food, housing and medical care as well as maintenance for the equipment. Once the initial food production and housing are considered stable will the dropship abandon the colony for another or the entire crew load up to leave the colony site to follow on colonists.

Hmmm... I think it could use a Small Craft cubicle too. That way you don't have to use the DropShuttles to get around.

Ah, I had meant in addition to the 4 DropShuttles... sorry I wasn't clearer!

wolfgar · « **Reply #13 on:** 04 July 2022, 17:28:03 »

why base them on the shuttles and eat up precious mass when you can house them on the jumpship and launch from there

had to cut 2 dropshuttles for mass other than the small craft, it wasn't to make them available

Daryk · « **Reply #14 on:** 04 July 2022, 17:37:16 »

I was thinking you could scrape up 200 tons for a single Small Craft cubicle, that was all.

Are these going to be going into your fan story "Where's the (KF) Boom"? Your working on?

wolfgar · « **Reply #16 on:** 05 July 2022, 20:59:24 »

"Wheres the KF boom" has met an early grave in the hodgepodge that is BT history. because of the cause for that however, it has spawned a rewrite of that history that is DIRTT, or "Doing It Realistically This Time" where i'm rewriting practically all of BT history because the timeline just doesnt work, somewhere in there "Wheres the (KF) Boom" will exist.

But to somewhat answer your question, yes, these are going to be part of that story

Good luck! I look forward to seeing the results!

I've been playing around with the idea of what an Age of War Terran Alliance/Hegemony Marine Expeditionary Unit would look like. I would imagine they would primarily be built around light vehicles, since most of the stuff in the early Age of War seems to be. Accordingly, I came up with this, a sort of proto-Seeker.

MegaMek why?

MegaMekLab is a all-purpose unit maker. I was wonder if you were using it to make units. Even the CGL people use it to make new stuff for BattleTech.

It make warships, fighter, mechs, combat vehicles, dropships etc. It prints record sheets etc.

That's quite a Sampan there!

you know the crazy thing is that i have never actually seen the specs for the Sampan before, or at least not prior to the Mk IV that was released during the last story

If you are going to use two pairs instead of a quad battery on the broadside you should move the second pair to the aft corners. They can still shoot into the broadside but can also cover most of the aft arc now.
