Description This ship appeared in a "Mobile Suit Gundam U.C.0401" roleplaying campaign I was in a while back. (The game used R. Taslorian's "Mekton Z" system. It's an Earth Federation Space Forces carrier with faster than light capability. Came out OK, I think.

Its an okay ship I do admit. However there are a few issues I have with it:
1. those flank MPCs are in the way of the regular side turrets therefore that needs to be changed.
2. The aft looks horrendous! Why is is so tall like that? Is there a purpose for it? etc...

I take it was done awhile back therefore may have some problems but still...

Yeah the drawing is old and was done in a hurry. But aside from that... thanks a load for your "constructive criticism."

Now this I like, it’s small enough for a player operated ship, but big enough to do some damage!

I’m tempted to pinch it for my own Robotech/Rifts hybrid game.

Feel free! I don't understand how anyone can work with RIFTS' system, but their setting IS fun.

Well, I’ve been using the original Robotech system since high school (1989) so I’m use to its quirks, over the years I’ve played or been GM for Battletech, Mekton, various Traveller incarnations, Heavy Gear, Renegade Legion, Shadowrun & Cyberpunk, they all have their own quirks, you get use to it & adapt, & when you find something that REALLY doesn’t work, you just play around with the rules until it does.

Oh & thanks for the permission to use your ship, I think my guys are gonna be getting a new toy in a couple of weeks!

I’m sure they will.

Especially since they keep complaining about the broken down Garfish [link] they use now (which I won’t let them fix up due to nonexistent parts, it can be a pain in the butt to be stuck in another dimension where their tech isn’t compatible with yours ), its main gun is gone (blown off in battle), 2 of the 3 landing bays have been destroyed & 1 engine has been so badly damaged it barely functions, & the jerry-rigged Fold System is erratic at best, I’m sure they’ll jump at the chance to get a shiny new ship.
