4513 Tech Law: Vehicle Manual POSSIBLE Errata #2

[snrdg051306]

The vehicle stats for the S-5B Sparrow Long Range Interceptor  appears to be missing the Auxiliary Systems section.

Hopefully, someone has a draft copy of the Sparrow's stats stashed somewhere.

Is this the version from the main book or from VM? (Book and version number if you have it, in case it's only missing from one version).

It is from the SM:P VM Stock#4513 Copyright 2002, ISBN: 1-55806-565-2

Sorry Marc R for not including the book information and thanks MarkC for providing the information. The Sparrow is on p. 33 of SM: P VM.

SM: P Stock #4500 Copyright 2000, ISBN 1-55806-562-8 Common vehicles pp. 234 -238 do not include the details of Features and Auxiliary Systems in the statistics.

Also sorry for the delay, I keep forgetting to click notify when I'm done.

[Marc R]

Defendi is checking his copy and notes, will post when I get a reply. (Or he may just post himself).

[Defendi]

It seems they aren't there because I didn't give them any.  It's hard to remember why you did made such an inconsequential decision ten to eleven years ago, but I suspect it has to do with mass.  Adding the standard aux systems to that fighter would have increased its mass 10-15%, and being an interceptor, I probably found that less desirable than going without.

[snrdg051306]

Thanks for the reply Defendi and taking the time to review the matter. Standard military design thinking which in this case appears to be build the space/air frame around the N-space drive and weapons systems.

[Marc R]

Mental note, build a large head with showers near the hanger for the Sparrows.

[Defendi]

NONE of the fighters have ways to clean the pilots.    Showers for ALL of them.

[markc]

I thought the pilots wore the Dune desert suits so they can just drink their waste.

[Defendi]

Maybe.  Still stink though.

[Marc R]

Separate quarters for the filthy pilots and their filthy ways.

("You know they drink their own waste, right?" "How do you think the environmental recyclers work here on the carrier?" "Shut up you.")
