Inquisitor Gun Shuttle of doom

[Inquisitor Octavian Lars]

I am currently designing a Shuttle for Octavian Lars. My initial idea was a Limited Production Heavy Command Shuttle. Only 20 were made each for an inquisitor on Triplex-Phall. The Lucian Combat Shuttle (void capable)has 4 VTOL jet nozzles, a Mars Class III Plasma reactor, an armoury, 26 rooms (including 2 master rooms), kitchen facilities  as well as lots of weapons as follows: 6 wing mounted multi lasers (3 per wing), 2 rocket launchers (20 rockets, clips of 5), top turret twin lascannon, chin mount twin auto cannon, 2 under wing quad-autocannons. top speed: Mach 5, crew 1 pilot, 1 nose gunner, 5 H.W. gun servitors (quad autos, rockets, lascannons), 3 engine/reactor maintenance servitors.

How big is this shuttle?

Do you have any sketches of your design?

What sort of input are you looking for from us?  Is these something specific we can help you with?

Wingspan 24m, length 17m, quite big. Also, is there any way to incorperate it into Inq campaigns without a story. Will add pics of my 1st ideas (quite curvy) I drew last night at a sleep over. I also plan to include Octavian's Banishment (custom/in development by me) cruiser.

I'd say that's small - somewhere between the size of a Valkyrie and Thunderhawk. Far too small for all the rooms you say it has...

In terms of incorporation into campaigns, I've been in games that made effective use of a variety of aircraft as objectives, representing a vital escape route for rival warbands, which would often end up quarreling over the limited passenger space.

How small are these rooms?

[Inquisitor Octavian Lars]

I will post scans in due course, but on them the rooms are 1.5m square. Will probably edit to about 2.5M square. Although, I can imagine OL and a crack storm trooper team landing then going out guns blazing.

Hardly much of a room then. I've seen bigger toilet cubicles.

Damn and blast

[Kaled]

Why not just make it a bit bigger?

Here are the floor plans (can be scaled) (pics are also very faint)

I count no fewer than nine W.C.s, so at least there won't be a queue for the gent's.




Seriously, though, a ship of this size would probably be too large & too powerfull to reasonably incorparate into a game of Inquisitor normally (i.e. you couldn't really have it sitting there on the table 'cause there'd be little room for anything else, and you couldn't have it strafing the table 'cause it'd obliterate everything in one pass!).

However, there's no reason you couldn't come up with some scenarios based around it; just off the top of my head I might suggest a mission where you must hold out untill the ship arives to pick you up/ drive off the attacking forces, or perhaps a scenario set on-board, where you must thwart some would-be hijackers, and so-on.

One other thing; for the number of rooms it contains you do seem to have made it a little on the tiddly side, and if it's supposed to house people for long enough time-spans to be worth having a galley/kitchen & training-room on board, then shouldn't it also have quarters of some sort? Most of the rooms are too small to lie down in.

In case of blockage...

Alternatively you could make the ship the board? And have one inquisitor stow away and have to sneak around to get an objective, you could make it in tiered section!

I think would be very good and original scenario.
