post your AUGG ship build's here

[glitterboy2098]

a thread to offer some help to GM's who want to run AUGG and don't have a lot of time to build the wide variety of ships a space opera setting really needs. post your AUGG ship construction builds here.. please stick to by-the-book designs, to make it easier for other GM's to adapt your entries to their own houserules. preference would of course be for designs within the budget of a character or group of characters, though more expensive 'NPC' designs certainly won't be excluded. please make sure the cost (and build details if possible) are posted where GM's can find them.


to start off, here is my entry.. a low budget FTL 'courier' with room for a smaller party.

Express Class Courier Shuttle
- build details

Interstellar travel for the budget impaired..
it can reach factor 10 using its nuclear powered ion drive.. about 1 lightyear a month. a bit slow, but the stassi capsules allow the crew to sleep their way to the destination if it can't hop a ride on a faster ship. it has enough life support for its pilot to survive for almost 2 years, or the pilot plus 4 passengers to live for over 4 months. Autopilot means the crew does not have to stay awake for the journey, though having the crew rotate between awake and stasis is recommended. 10 modules of cargo means it should stick to high value items, although it provides enough space to carry plenty of extra supplies and personal items. an external cargo dock lets it piggyback on other, faster ships.. or carry standardized containers with extra cargo. fitted with light armor, a pair of light lasers, a small missile rack, alumnia cloud chaff system, mag-shield, and manuever enhancement system, it can hold its own with most hostile opponents, although dedicated combat craft will outmatch it. these weapons and defenses were considered to be required for defense of the high value cargo's and messages the craft is intended to carry. all this comes at a price however.. the shuttle is unable to make landfall on any world possessing a notable atmosphere, instead having to rely on other craft or space stations to transfer personell and cargo.

the Express class was something i built in response to a poster here complaining in the chatroom about how the AUGG didn't give you enough funds to build a 'decent' starship.. so i decided to prove him wrong, taking the minimum 2 million credit budget and trying to build a ship able to do most of what an RPG group needs. i actually came in under budget. i considered trying to add extra speed or systems, but ran into the problem of lacking the modules to add anything really useful. i decided the cargo capacity was more important, since it would let a group carry useful gear along. when i showed it to him, he basically told me it still wasn't 'decent'.. evidently he was looking for super fast pocket battleships, not a Firefly equivilent..

[arouetta]

I couldn't do quite as well as you, I valued little things like gravity and a crew mess (they gotta eat somehow). So I worked with 5 million credits. I came in way underbudget, so I started pumping up the engine speed and maximizing extra module capacity for a large cargo hold, and still ended at 4.9 million credits.

Maybe you can tell what race from Aliens unlimited made your ships?

[NMI]

I'd like to see some fluff/story/something with these builds.

[glitterboy2098]

Maybe you can tell what race from Aliens unlimited made your ships?

well, mine would be good as a 'generic' for lower tech races just starting out.. would actually work pretty well as a Human ship from a time humanity is still working out how to combine AUGG super-science with HU-earth built technologies and components. low end galactic grade FTL drive combined with human built 'hardware-superhero-enhanced' earth tech nuclear/ion sublight drives. galactic grade stassis system for long range travel, but no artificial gravity. etc. heavy on weapons and defenses because of a skewed view on how dangerous galactic society is (humans basically seeing 'super-villians' around every corner), but carrying enough cargo to make interstellar exploration at least possible.

[pblackcrow]

Might I post the one I had for Rifts Manhunter? It's a science/medical/exploration ship.

These monstrosities are the vertebrae that make up the backbone of inter-stellar trade. They may not be glamorous, but they can move truly staggering amounts of cargo at a time. Designed for fairly peaceful routes they mount a token defense against raiders with four light turrets, chaff, and their shields. One of their main defenses is their sheer speed, at Speed Factor 60 they can run away from most anything. The force field, while seeming to be an expensive luxury actually makes smart financial sense by reducing repair costs to the hull.
"Oh yes, the Guppa is a fine ship, don't you have any doubt. Sure she is as lovely as a ration can, and the air always tastes of ozone. But she can haul your entire load of what was it? Ah 40,000 tons of pon-pon fruits. And you need them on Debba IV before they go bad. Easy enough, easy enough. Yah you could hire some of those Sampsons. if you don't mind paying docking and transshipment fees 40 times. What? you want to know why my rate is so good? Ah well its that I already got my cargo here, and I don't really like shipping out with my holds half empty."

After a few too many raids by 'Rouge captains and independent raiders' on the Atorian frontier, the Revy class was modified out of 5 standard Fitzgerald class freighters. Carefully keeping the same iconic exterior appearance, the cargo bay was gutted and filled with shield generators, fighter bays, troop barracks, and all sorts of other unpleasant surprises for a pirate or commerce raider. The general response to this can be best summed up by the former pirate lord Dalko Voidblood as "That's not fair!"

Standard load out is
30 Warshrikes
50 Spikes
50 Spike B (spike with SRM instead of particle beam)
50 Spike C (spike with rail gun)

one problem i have with building stuff in AUGG has been i always seem to end up making an expy of some other scifi setting's ship. Birds of Prey, Federation Starships, X-wings, etc. makes it hard to post.

btw, on an unrelated note, for those interested i have a collection of new options for the AUGG build system. along with some notes to make it mesh better with real space and science. (i give the author kudo's for trying, but some details are humorously incorrect.)

[eliakon]

I think the scariest thing about the Revy that its a mini-carrier built on a refitted civilian hull. Imagine what a first tier navy super carrier from someone with a major military budget would look like.

I do like the self-repair systems, those are such a fairly common thing when you see advanced ships like the one from Outlaw Star.

my creations, though inspired by elements from the various scifi books, movies, and TV shows i like. if i use other people's stuff it's with permission and i make sure to include a "created by" bit so people know it's not mine. you can see that in Taalismn's stuff for phase world, and the frankenmecha page in the robotech section.

i also try to append the artist's name to the images i use too, when i have it.

Feral Dog CVA
Along the galactic rim near the Toogarth Empire, the independent states are very aggressive in their piracy suppression due to the high rate of piracy there and the threat that Toogarth Empire presents. This has produced navies which produce ships that are less specialized, able to to do many tasks other then just a ships of the line or a carrier or a collier (military supplies transport).
The Feral Dog CVA is an example of the regional design styles. The <race name> designed this assault carrier to be able to suppress the in an entire star system and for taking out pirate bases with out relying on supporting ships. The <race name> has built over 30 of these ships for themselves and another 40 for their neighboring system states. The <race name> uses the Zimbanchi sub-light fighter as it's standard parasite craft for it's CVA's hangers, but also produce the Amachi long range intercepters as their main scouting force.
The Feral Dog is shaped like a large flying wings with large weapon nacelles, covered with weapons bay blisters, on the wings of the ship. It has four hanger bay hatches, half on the bow of the ship (1 dorsal & 1 ventral) and two on the stern of the ship (1 dorsal & 1 ventral).
Unlike some other navies, the bridge (and aux. Bridge) are buried deep in the ship where they are one of the most protected parts of the ship. However there is a forward observation deck that does sucker some attacks of navies that are still stuck in the flying bridge traditions.
The <race name> exclusively use Traction Drive technology for their starships, fighters and missiles. As such they have developed the drive technology to the point that they can make drives that can reach Speed Factor 40 at the high end. But the cost of these high end speed factor drives is double that of normal traction drives. However, they rarely use these high end drives except in their couriers and some of their scout fighters.

Great,I always like more ships.

[arouetta]

Thread necromancy!

I've been mulling over this concept for a while, thought it would make for a light-hearted game. I couldn't make the ship as grandiose as I want (Luxury Accommodations are expensive!), but it's still on par with a smaller cruise ship.

Passenger Cruise Transport Titania

After its ill-fated collision with a comet, the small space transport was salvaged and rebuilt by new owners. They had it towed to a new system in the hopes of shaking off any ill reputation, but sightings of ghosts and whispers of how comets always seem to come too close to the viewports ruined any chance of that. However, the talk has actually increased revenue as people want to fly, hoping to be the next to see the children playing in the corridors, the woman weeping in the lounge, or hear the unseen voices of rough men always around the next bend. And the lounges are always full at early evening as measured by the host planet, as that is when there tends to be comet sightings.

I like your design, but the scale is off on your floorplan; unless your standard crew quarters include 12ft long beds, your squares are only 3ft, not 5ft, making your design 120ft long, not 200ft long.

[arouetta]

Now, as it was mentioned that this is for helping GMs, what about the option of throwing out the budget and creating the really big stuff like space stations? Have a couple of ideas kicking around....

Whoops! The standard tiles for the program I used are 5 ft, so I assumed the custom tiles would be too, without actually looking at the artwork. Good catch!

[MADMANMIKE]

That's alright, the ship I'm designing now is for my current game where two of the characters are actually 10ft tall, so I'll need to make the beds that big.

[arouetta]

The "mosquito" style shuttle is a fairly popular style in the FAR. Able to access gateways and yet still falling the in budget class of spacecraft, it can travel from point A to point B in relative speed and comfort. There's not a lot of room for cargo, beyond what is needed for daily living, however two external cargo docks enable the operator to turn a profit.

[arouetta]

Hey here's a couple of challenges I can't manage. Can anyone build a ship with the lowest budget (2 million credits)? Or the smallest shuttle size (5 tons)?

[Snake Eyes]

A 5-ton shuttle? wouldn't that be an escape pod.......

Those are two good challenges though

[MADMANMIKE]

Here's the internal dimensions of a 5 ton shuttle with extra modular capacity; each block represents one module, except the two outer oblong ones, they're each .75 modules (representing together the odd 1.5 modules).

Looking at them, some of the features don't make sense on the space they take (i.e. .2 modules for a crew room in crew accommodations) but they tend to balance each other out in the end; as long as your module total is used up, you have a balanced ship.

From this perspective, I'd be hard pressed to use up 2million on a 5ton shuttle..

[MADMANMIKE]

Right, there's quite a bit of money left over..

-------------------------------------------------------TOTAL COST: 997,000C

1 Module of Cargo space left over.. I will point out that as an artist and designer, my biggest problem with the Spacecraft Construction Rules is the 1 ton = 1 foot of length for the ships. This is nonsense. granted there's obviously going to be additional feet in width and height, but the idea that a 5 ton shuttle is going to be 5 feet long is just plain absurd. So in designing a ship I only use that number as a loose guideline for bigger ships.

Instead, the dimensions of a module are what I go from, and then mostly just for the internal dimensions. 1 module = 125 square feet; that's a 5ft by 5ft by 5ft cube, easy enough; adding extra modular capacity in reality is more like taking away from the module cost of systems, but for designing a craft visually I'll use it for the added dimensions. Hence the image linked in the previous post. Now I can take the features I've chosen and do the deck plan accordingly.

Actual final dimensions: 17ft long x 8.25ft tall x 18ft wide.

So here hit is: The 5 ton Runabout

1 Module of Cargo space left over.. I will point out that as an artist and designer, my biggest problem with the Spacecraft Construction Rules is the 1 ton = 1 foot of length for the ships.

Shuttle "Alagelcir"
This is a custom built ship from the Abersurith shipyards in TGE space.
The ship is a flat disc with running lights around the rim with a ramp that folds down from the underside to be able to load/unload both cargo and passengers. The hull is painted with a smart paint that can change it colors and patterns down to a 1mm x1mm pixel. Unlike many cultures are stuck on, the control deck near the center of the shuttle.

Tons: 75
SDC: 1125
AG drives: Atmo.: Mach 10, FTL: SF 20
Crew: 1
Weight: 75 tons
Diameter: 75 feet.
Height: 25' from keel to dorsal. Stands 5' off the ground on landing jacks.

Features:
Crew automation
Trans-Atmo. Capability
Basic Sensors Upgrade
Auto-pilot (45%)
Standard Crew Quarters 1
W/bath (pressurized cabin)
Med. Particle Beam (forward)
Light Laser in Retractible Concealed turret
Normal FF 285 SDC
24 tons/modules of cargo space

Sidenote: this was done with a max. budget of 4 million credits.

[MADMANMIKE]

... But I am going to be uhh, borrowing this shuttle for my games if you don't mind.

Well then you'll need this too: Interior Floor Plan

I put the two passenger seats on locking rails, so if they're both in the center configuration the two bunk beds can fold down (otherwise they lock by the wall giving room to move around); opposite the bunks are a combo refrigerator/microwave/oven and a pantry cabinet. On either side of the pilot's station are the six oxygen tanks (with the recycling system that gives the ship 116 days for 3 people). On the pilot's right is the super-nav computer, and in the airlock is a storage locker for general cargo (and spacesuits if you know what's good for you!).

How much did you "charge" for the paint?

[drewkitty ~..~]

Used my Artistic License #81-F147.

In other words it is just a part of the Flavor Text. So it was an 'off budget' item.

[eliakon]

Used my Artistic License #81-F4I7.

In other words it is just a part of the Flavor Text. So it was an 'off budget' item.

So flavor aside, it cant actually be used in game as camouflage, it cant actually disguise the ship, etc?

I didn't add any cammo settings....it is more "No...that's not the right paint job. That must be a different ship from the one we are looking for.."

Does anybody know of anyplace other then MiO page 81 "the Hull" where a pb gamebook mentions "Go Faster Stripes"? maybe with a cost mentioned with it?

That's the ship from my current game; after this weekend I'll post the upgraded version (the upgrades haven't happened yet).

[MADMANMIKE]

Okay, the group was suspected of piracy, so when they entered the decontamination chamber disembarking from the S.S. POS they were gassed with a non-lethal sleep agent and put in cryo. As it turns out, the S.S. POS is clearly incapable of Piracy, and in fact one of the passengers is the nephew of one of the builders of the station. That character's Uncle passed away and left a cargo ship to him, located in a nearby system (10 light years away). Part of the will left 5 million credits to upgrade whatever ship he had in order to get him to the inheritance.

After they were put in cryo the accountant who is executor of his uncle's will realized the mistake and chose to have the ship upgraded before they were awakened, in order to reduce their anger over the mis-accusation.

One hitch, the station was taken over by pirates before the ship was finished. The Accountanant, a Cebus named Carven, awakens them before the ship is finished and explains the situation, offering them a reward to free the station.

What sort of things would be found on a space station? That's my next project. I can think of station admin, security, facilities for receiving ships, support services, housing for station personnel, businesses for renting temporary quarters to personnel between ships/wanting a weekend away from the ship, shops, eating facilities, drinking facilities, and entertainment facilities. What else? And for those shops and facilities, what would be some of the more space-oriented/unusual?

[arouetta]

I blew up the group's transport last game, and they all had to cram into an enemy shuttle they had taken over. Pretty stripped down, this way the new to the group Mechanical Hardware genius can have a field day fixing it up.

Truistar Patrol Frigate
This product of the Ambarkromby Shipyards has been a staple of the ears for over 150 standard years. This class is listed as a Long Range Patrol Craft and does very well in that roll. However, this listing is a bit misleading in that while it was truly designed for that roll there was much thought put into what the class would be needed for. With just it's organic ships systems it can fulfill the peacetime rolls of anti-piracy patrol, convoy escort, system and stelar survey, space search and rescue, and humanitarian first responder; and the wartime rolls of Convoy Escort, system picket, fleet picket, and commerce raiding. But with the addition of mission specific pods and bays will expand its peacetime rolls to include as a fast humanitarian response ship in lifting in supplies or emergency personal, and the wartime rolls of fast collier, deep penetration raider, and that of Escort Carrier.
The weapons mix of the class has changed over the decades, but the overall numbers and sizes have remained relatively the same. Some common refits of this class give the ships a full ship shielding and/or interstellar communications.
The ship, without any cargo, passenger, or fighter augmentations, looks like blunt double ended spindle that the center third has a 4 sided cross-section. There are no apparent dive ports or nacelles.

Not to nit-pick or anything but.....when the ship is totally un-useable with out your personal house rules, why would you put it up in a thread that specifically asks for ships that follow the books?

Well hopefully the supplement will be available to all soon, but then again we all, including you eli, have our own deviations from the stated topic of the OP. *shrugs*

I dunno. My ship was completely book legal. If your supplement has been accepted for publication then sure use it. But if its just a "I sent something in maybe it will get accepted" then I would say that your back to "Hey I am going to ignore the topic and post a house rule ship"

i did request book legal ones without houserules.

please stick to by-the-book designs, to make it easier for other GM's to adapt your entries to their own houserules.

i've come up with my own set of houserule adjustments and new systems.. but book legal ones will be easier to adapt to different people's games.

If this thread is for fellow GMs, can we throw out the starting budget? I'm itching to design a space station, but I can't do the type that PCs are likely to stop at on even the maximum budget.
