Not very realistic, but thats what the show says. I'd say that you could use your fuel cells to power your reactionless engines at full capacity(max sublight speed) a few times before needing to refuel, but so long as they have even a little bit of fuel left theres enough to run the ships systems. Habitats I would model as a Habitat in the Front and the Rear sections,Īrtificial Gravity, FTL Comms, $ 14,000,000, 355 Tons Cargo Capacity(7 Cargo Holds, 1 sacrificed cabin in rear habitat.) Let them hold the same size ship a Hangar would be able to(100 tons for SM +9, 30 tons for SM + 8, which means the shuttles are either SM + 5 or + 6. Spaceships doesn't say that Cargo Bays aren't or can't be pressurized, so I think its safe to assume that Serenity's Cargo Bay is in fact an actual GURPS style Cargo Bay.įor shuttle docking I would slap on two External Clamps, and call it good. I would say you definitely have some actual Cargo Bay sections, to account for the huge doors in the rear. Slap on an engine room, and perhaps an extra fuel tank for the Fuel Cells, although that wouldn't be strictly necessary, and I don't recall there ever being fuel tanks in the show or movie. You need one for each Hot Reactionless, as I said, I would have two of each. There are references to fuel cells in the pilot, so thats your power plant. Otherwise, I'd just make them special effects of the same Hot Reactionless drives, handwaving that they are in two separate parts of the ship. I would just make the engines on the sides of a Firefly class a pair of Fusion Torches with the ram-rocket option, if you're determined to use the ram-rocket thing. Two Hot Reactionless Engines will get you 2Gs of thrust, more than enough to hit orbit. Plus Rotary Reactionless don't get the necessary thrust to get her out of atmo. I would say the main sublight engine is a Hot Reactionless, considering if you light it off in an atmosphere you get a stream of fire behind you. I'd use SM +8, but you're free to use a larger size if you wish. Anywho, seems SM could be anywhere between SM +7 and SM + 9. But it does make it harder to pin hard facts down accurately in order to model it for roleplaying purposes. Honestly, its not like you really need scientific accuracy to enjoy the series. Unfortunately, plausibility wasn't a real strong design goal for Mr. Welp, according to here, it's only 292.5 tons, fully loaded, which would put it at SM +7. It's just airlock->airlockĪlso with the shuttles attached there are 5 airlocks (1 big main one at the cargo bay) without the shuttles your looking at 7 airlocks. ![]() The Shuttle dock can't really be considered a hanger bay since it is not sealed. Since the cargo bay is sealed I would consider it a habitat that is strictly steerage. Would I assume that the excess empty space in both those habitat sections be steerage cargo? Habitat wise there are 5 cabins (2 doubles) in the forward section and 4 doubles in the rear section + a single bed sickbay. ![]() Lets assume that the sublight engine is a rotary reactionless what would the maneuver engines be? I'm thinking maybe a fusion engine that uses hydrogen with ramrocket in the atmosphere. ![]() However I need to know a few minor details. According to the Ship Specs in the Serenity RP Firefly ships are 2400 tons measuring 191ft (63.67 yds) x 128ft (42.67 yds) x 53ft (17.67yds) This of course is converting feet to yds at 3ft/1yd. Most of them are talking that the Serenity is a 1000 ton ship. I found a thread with a firefly class ship somewhere in the long 9 page thread.
