Default BRP Eagle.

No not the bird.

For those who expressed an interest. This is the first two pages of my latest draft of the Space:1999 Eagle Transporter written up for BRP.

A couple of notes:

1) I based the mass of 328 tons off of the YV episode Black Sun rather than the now offical 238 tons used by Carlton and in Geoffrey Mandell's blueprints. A 238mt Eagle would be SIZ 106.

2) I based the speed and acceleration of the Eagle based on the "window" they had to reach Alpha from a planet in the episode All that Glistens, rather than use the official/blueprint 0.15c version. For one thing the Eagle in the blueprints would run out of fuel before it could reach 0.15c. For another if it could go that fast, it makes the much more likely that they could have evacuated everyone could have evacuated Alpha and gotten back to Earth before the Moon got too far form the Solar System.

3) STR listed is for the combined thrust of the four thrusters. They would be rated at STR 264 each. Oh, and since that seems to be above the cut off point for the RQ3 SIZ formula, the actual STR would be much higher in BRP terms, but I needed the logarithmic function for performance calculations.


4) Maneuver rating (plus a few others) is due for a overhaul one the final BRP rules are released. There is only so much that can be done "flying blind".

Hope this doesn't suck.
