I intend to create a lot of these spaceships for my Tarazet Traveller role-playing game background, and so I decided that a spreadsheet based on the spaceship design rules would be a great help. I’ll be posting versions of the spreadsheet I develop as it evolves, as an aid to everyone else out there who needs to come up with role-playing game statistics, so they can quickly and easily describe their spaceships. As soon as I work out how to upload it I’ll make this link active –> Mongoose Traveller Roll-playing Game Spaceship Design Spreadsheet just right click and save target.

As I was creating the design sheet I inputted some random values, and I’ve decided to keep them and base a spaceship for my Tarazet role-playing game on them. This spaceship is called the Minnow.

The Minnow has a very advanced TL 13 computer, and is well protected with armor for its size. Including stealth systems. It has very little armament however and so avoids combat with the nasties lurking in the corners of the role-playing game universe if at all possible.

Now I just have to figure out a way to easily create deck plans for these spaceships and my games.
