Any comments, errors etc are welcome. This design is for all of you out there who wish to add the famous, yet unrealistic scene from _Speed_ to their Traveller: The New Era adventures. :) Have fun. -Shalom Zaidfeld ---- Student, Newtonbrook Secondary School Toronto, CANADA Internet: cs911408@ariel.cs.yorku.ca --------------------------------------------------------------------- TL 8 InnerCity Public Transportation Bus --------- ------ --- - Price: 10,834 Credits Size: 56 Cubic liters = 4 Displacement Tons Mass: 6.00 Tonnes Empty, 6.63 Tonnes Loaded Power: 0.2 MW TL 5 Improved Internal Combustion Engine Maint: 1 Controls: TL-8 Enhanced Electronic Ground Vehicle Controls TL-8 Inertial Positioning Navigational Aid Commo: 30km Radio Communication Suite Sensors: 2xFront HeadLights Life Support: Light, Heat Cargo: 125kg Crew: 1 Passnegers: 12 Armament: None Max Speed: 93 kph Road speed/19 kph Cross Country speed Travel Move: 186/78 [kilometers per 4 hours] Combat Move: 43/18 [m/s] Fuel Capacity: Fuel Tank: 500 Liters Fill up: 125 Credits Fuel Type: Hydrocarbon Distillates Fuel Consumption: 50 Liters Per Hour (10 Hours Endurance) Combat Stats Config: Cylinder [SL] HF: 1 Susp: W (5) HS: 1 HR: 1 Deck: 1 Belly: 1 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Design Notes: General Info: Rate: 4 Config: Cylinder [SL] Material: Light Alloy Volume: 56 Though.: 1.70 MV 0.9 MVM 0.99 Thickness: 0.59 Length 5.2 LM 10.4 AV: 1.00 Mass: 3.50 Price: 1869.12 Volume: 0.58 Suspension: Controls: Type: Wheel Type: Enhanced Electronics Volume: 8.4 TL: 8 Mass: 0 Mass: 1.68 Volume: 0.056 Price: 0 Price: 2100 Mass: 0.0056 Surface: 3920 Price: 3000 Power: 0.002 Navigation Aids Comm: Range: 30 Type: Inertial positioning Type: Radio Communicator Volume: 0.001 Volume: 0.001 Mass: 0.001 Mass: 0.002 Price: 1000 Price: 250 TL: 8 Antenna: 0.01 Power: 0.01 Power: 0.001 Crewstations Sensors: Type: Open Crewstation Type: 2xHeadLights Volume: 3.5 Volume: 0.004 Mass: 0.2 Mass: 0.002 Price: 750 Price: 100 Power 0.0002 Range: 30 Power Plant Type: 12xAdequate Seats Type: Improved Internal Combustion Volume: 42 Volume: 0.4 Mass: 0.24 Power: 0.2 Price: 1200 Mass: 0.4 Price: 800 Duration: 10.00 Fuel Tank: 0.5 Fuel: HCD Fuel Price: 125 Fuel Mass: 0.5 Transmission: Type: Wheeled Volume: 0.06 Mass: 0.06 Price: 90 TOTAL: ================================================================ Volume: 55.50 0.50 497.9 Mass: 6.63 6.00 Power - Systems Power = Engine Power: 0.2 0.0132 = 0.1868 Price: 10,834.12 SDR: 5 Movement: Road: 75.41 95.41 Cross: 38.16 Combat :44.17 17.67 Travel: 190.83 76.33 Maint: 1
