This is 17.5 tons standard *more* than the FF&S Type R. Range: 2 Parsec, 15.5 G-Hours, and 1 standard year 1 Parsec, 23.5 G-Hours, and 1 standard year In-System 32.0 G-Hours, and 1 standard year Mods: A maximum-cargo model (classified as Type R21) is available as a special-order from several shipyards. Using the higher efficency of the J-2 drives, this version increases the available cargo space. A total of 529.445 m^3 of fuel tankage is converted to cargo space, and the maximum performace becomes 1 parsec and 15 G-Hours. Since this modification retains the R2's drives, 75-ton drop tanks can still be carried at no performance or cargo penalty. This increases the total cargo to 2080.453 m^2 (148.6 tons).

There is no performance penalty for carrying the tanks, and they do not have to be shed before jump. Comment about merchant operations: From a quick perusal of the relevant rules in T:TNE, it appears that successful operations to and from a world's surface can be carried out on about 2 G-Hours of fuel (1 G-Hour each way). If we assume that a reasonable allowance for stellar and planetary orbital motion is 2d6 G-Turns (2d6/2 G-Hours), then the 7.5 G-Hour fuel allowance for the J5 crossing is tight but doable. Performed as 2xJ2 and 1xJ1, such a crossing would be time-consuming when compared to a J-3 or J-5 ship, but not at least full cargo capacity is retained. For more routine operations, a 12 to 15 G-Hour maneuver reserve was assumed to be standard procedure. wildstar@quark.qrc.com
