I.S.S. Frankenstein, a Mongrel ship by DRock.
« Thread Started on Jan 21, 2009, 10:36pm »

Notes: My roommate came up with an idea for a campaign. A half dozen of us would make our own vessels. The only requirements were to make them at 50 CE or under. Any race, any tech up to a certain Stardate (around late TOS era, borderline movie era, before Enterprise refit). The goal was to make money. Act as privateers, cargo haulers, transit, whatever. We're all independent ship owners in The Triangle and we're supposed to make Megacredits by any means.

Federation vessels were the ships of choice. Three players made pure Federation vessels. One's on the direct payroll of Starfleet and acting as their unofficial presence. The other's a rogue Starfleet captain choosing a life of larceny. A third is just an independent human trader and raider and our forth man is a Klingon... flying a Klingon vessel, doing Klingon things, which is mostly drinking, fighting, and raising money to go drinking and fighting.

As for myself, I am an Orion Freelancer. I'll take any job, providing it's worth my while.

Everyone else used parts from their respected races. However, the rules were that you could use parts from EVERY race. And I did. Black market, knockoffs, salvage of both legal and questionable sorts... if it's on a Starship you can most likely find it, buy it or steal it in The Triangle (with exception to cloaking devices and transwarp).

All the parts can go together too. My purpose was not to make it heavily armed (though it isn't a weakling either) but to make it fast. Really, really fast. That meant the biggest honkin' engines I could find, lots of power and efficient 'other' systems that won't draw too much on the power. The result is a superfast speedboat of a vessel that could be used for blockade running, raiding, or general hasty point A to point B work. It could do up to 21 movement points per turn if there were no caps and you put all power to the engines.

The only thing that you need to worry about is whether or not an alien computer can handle parts from different races. It was easy. We considered the computer's maximum WDF allowed as a guideline to its processing power. Say... my Klingon warp engines, two KWE-3's, needed a ZD6 computer (WDF max of 60). I used an R5M computer (WDF max of 75). More than enough processing power to handle those big, powerful engines. However, I couldn't say use a Federation M-3 computer (WDF max of 50). Not enough processing power. Otherwise you could use any damn parts you wanted. In fact, mine will most likely be upgraded in the future. The computer can accommodate it, we only have to START the campaign at CE 50 (so we can make the ship stronger... no problem!) and I could easily bump the design to a class X without any problems.

The computer core and central hull were from the Romulans. The Warp Engines, Impulse Engines and Command Hull were from the Klingons. The phasers, photon torpedo launchers and shields were Federation spec, and the crew is Orion. We thought of a lot of names, but went with the Mongrel class vessel. My ship is called the I.S.S. Frankenstein, the legend of the pieced together undead construct has even reached The Triangle and has become popular. There might be other 'Mongrels' in space, but they're like snowflakes... there are hardly two that are ever alike!
