Description
Enter the CBX-70 FREELANCER Independent Freighter!
Since this is meant to be an independent small freighter able to operate longer periods in space I added extra storage space and things like an actual kitchen and showers to make it more into a home rather than just a means of transit. It also has a water treatment plant as well as a closed buggy for planetary excursions, including those of the lead-heavy kind.

Thanks, glad you like it.

Welcome. I like a lot the idea of a "home" more than a "transport".
Role playing game you said? Intresting, I must go and look at it...

Read to the end. The rest is just (important) context:
Unless a massive breakthrough occurs and rocks the physics world with a Magnitude 9 earthquake, if you want artificial gravity in a spaceship, you must either:
After a few months mission time, it is recommended to have a closed-cycle life-support system with food gardens, and after ~5 years it is essential. By the lack of closed life support, if this an interstellar ship, I assume it must have FTL capability. The sub-light propulsion system needed to create continuous acceptable gravity without a torus would still require a fusion reaction and a lot more fuel than the ship appears to contain.
So, I assume you doubled up your Magnitude 9 earthquakes to form a Magnitude 9.2 earthquake, including artificial gravity plates instead of any physically known method. Is that correct?

Lol.Β This is too much reality for a science fantasy setting.Β I'd rather have a cool looking ship than something 'Scientifically Accurate' in a Starfinder setting.

Starfinder ships come with artificial gravity by default. This ship was primarily meant for Starfinder.

Is Starfinder the name of the universe? The organization?
By artificial gravity, I assume you're referring to "plate" artificial gravity like that seen in Star Wars and Star Trek, rather than the more plausible centrifugal artificial gravity seen in 2001: A Space Odyssey and The Martian or the brachistochrone acceleration artificial gravity seen in Expanse. Is that correct?

Ah. Makes senseβit is science fantasy, after all.Β

Also, remember, that with most science fiction and "science fantasy", artificial gravity is almost always a thing, with no or little explanation. Star Wars, Star Trek. It's really been in more recent years that artificial gravity has been more and more grounded in true science.Β
Heck, in my science fiction setting I was working on, artificial gravity was part of the engine process. The "jump drives" were pretty much micro-black-holes. When travelling at sub-light speeds, the engines generated a gravimetric field that allowed for an artificial gravity (which is why the engines were located on the bottom of all the ships). Prior to a jump, and for about 10 minutes after a jump, the energy required for a jump caused the artificial gravity field to stop, being drawn into the engines, and then would slowly re-form after a jump as the engines returned to their null state.
Even with that, it's all, pretty much whoey and handwavium.
On another note, this ship is awesome in design, and I may decide to use it in my StarFinder campaign (once I have some people to run a game).Β

Interesting! Micro black hole gravity is possible, but holy shit! It would require even more advanced technology than brachistochrone gravity!Β
