This page covers my efforts to draw new deckplans based on the Type M Subsidized Liner design in Book 2.

I intended this to be an entry in Deckplan Contest #1, but didn't get it done in time.

From Book 2:

Subsidized Liner (type M): Using a 600-ton hull, the subsidized liner is a passenger and freight carrier committed to long-haul routes. It has jump drive-J, maneuver drive-C, and power plant-J. Fuel tankage for 210 tons supports the power plant and allows one jump-3. Adjacent to the bridge is a computer Model/3. There are thirty staterooms and twenty low berths. No turrets or weapons are installed, but there are three hardpoints and three tons are set aside for fire control. The ship has one 20-ton launch. Cargo capacity is 129 tons. The hull is unstreamlined.

The subsidized liner requires a crew of nine: pilot, navigator, three engineers, three stewards, and one medic. The pilot operates the launch; gunners may be added to the crew list a required. The ship costs MCr236.97 and takes 22 months to build.

Changes for contest:

- Add one watch officer to act as captain. (Total crew now ten.)
- Hull may be streamlined if desired. (Cost increases to MCr242.97.)
- Other craft may be substituted for 20-ton launch.
- Carried craft displacement may be increased at the expense of cargo space.
- Clarification: The type M is capable of 1G acceleration.
- Clarification: The type M can carry 20 high or middle passengers (with added captain) and 20 low passengers (frozen). It has enough stewards for 20 high passengers.
- Entrants can specify passenger loads.
