Orbital Elements - Medium Rig concept

 I made a breakthrough on the light rig. Firstly, I realised that a light rig is a "space car" and that it is too small to benefit a group of PCs. So, given that the two players in the group have 3 "light rig" points from mustering out, I'm turning their light rig into a 300 displacement-ton heavy rig. Whoop!

"Iron Butterfly"


The Bart Banks HR-771 Modular Transit Vehicle. Mounting four ZysKa-12s, the Bart Banks lifts a 100-ton cargo module into orbit from any surface settlement and then carries it to near interplanetary destinations. Fuel bladders can be fitted to the cargo module to extend the range at the cost of cargo capacity.

Alternate Command Module. A tad too "Space 1999"


Originally twin-engined, I decided to move to 4 because it looks a lot more balanced.
