I don't know if this is what your note was referring to, but it does seem to be in the ball park.

HG 3 pages 32 and 33:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUBORDINATE CRAFT

Whenever a ship carries other ships, big craft or small craft, as part of its complement of vessels and

vehicles, provision must be made for hangars and launch facilities for them.

Required Fittings: Small craft (under 100 tons) require tonnage equal to 110% of their tonnage at a

cost of Cr2,000 per ton when carried on any ship massing 1,000 tons or less, or on any ship with hull

configuration 7 (irregular structure). On ships over 1,000 tons other than configuration 7, they require

tonnage equal to 130% of their mass at a cost of Cr2,000 per ton.

Big craft (100 and over, including very large ships 10,000 tons or higher) require tonnage equal to

110% of their tonnage at a cost of Cr2,000 per ton. Big craft require tonnage equal to 100% of their

tonnage when carried on ships with hull configuration 7 (irregular structure) at a cost of Cr2,000 per ton.

Vehicle Launch Facilities: Launch facilities must be provided for all ships and craft carried. Such

facilities are automatic with irregular structures (configuration 7), allowing all craft to be launched and

recovered in a single combat round.

Ordinary launch facilities (available at no cost or additional tonnage) allow one craft to be launched or

recovered per combat round per 10,000 tons of hull. Additional launch ports may be purchased, allowing

an additional single craft to be launched or recovered per combat round. Each additional launch port

requires tonnage equal to the largest craft using the port, at a cost of Cr2,000 per ton.

Launch tubes (requiring 25 times the tonnage of the largest craft to use the facility, at a cost of

Cr2,000 per ton) allow 40 craft to be launched or recovered per turn. A ship may be built with multiple

launch tubes to facilitate such operations.

Drop Capsules: Drop capsules are available as single-man small craft, capable of orbital insertion

and landing on planets from orbit. They may also be used as emergency lifeboats. Drop capsule launch

facilities may be installed on any vessel. Each launcher may launch 40 drop capsules in a combat round.

The drop capsule launch facility requires one hardpoint, 1 ton of space, costs Cr10,000, and stores 1

capsule. Additional launch-ready storage costs Cr1,000 per capsule stored and requires 0.5 tons of space

per capsule stored. Additional capsules may be stored as cargo at 0.5 tons each.

DROP CAPSULES AND FACILITIES

Facility TL Tons Cost (MCr)

Basic Drop Capsule 10 0.5 0.002

Assault Drop Capsule 11 0.5 0.010

High Survivability Capsule 12 0.5 0.050

Launcher (stores 1 capsule) 10 1.0 0.010

Launch-Ready Storage (per capsule) 10 0.5 0.001

There are three types of drop capsules: the basic capsule, the assault capsule and the highsurvivability

capsule. The basic capsule includes only the small personnel compartment and a basic

reentry package; it is used as an emergency lifeboat or for landings in areas without planetary defenses.

The assault capsule includes extensive ECM equipment and is armored against small weapons fire. The

high survivability capsule has similar ECM equipment, but releases a number of decoy capsules during its

descent, and is even more heavily armored; only high-energy weapons or field artillery point defense can

destroy these capsules.

SHIP'S VEHICLES

After weaponry has been selected, the auxiliary vehicles for the ship must be determined.

The various vehicles carried on board ship

are not included in the Universal Ship Profile.

Those vehicles carried should be adequately

described on the ship information form, or

reference made to a more complete description.

Tonnage within the ship must be allocated equal

to the tonnage of the vehicles carried (or empty

weapons bays used). Many of the vehicles shown

on the vehicle table are described in Traveller;

the costs appearing here should be used. Ship's

vehicles require tonnage (at no cost) equal to

their own mass within the hull.

SHIP’S VEHICLES

Description TL Tons Cost (MCr)

Wheeled ATV 6 10 0.03

Wheeled AFV 6 10 0.07

Tracked ATV 6 10 0.03

Tracked AFV 6 10 0.07

Hovercraft 7 8 0.20

Air/Raft 8 4 0.60

Prospector’s Buggy 8 4 0.75

Speeder 8 6 1.00

GCarrier 8 8 1.00

Mongoose High Guard 1e has a section on docking clamps on page 45 if that helps.

I'll use Outlook for Android until something better comes along!

Hello Ewan,

Thank you for checking both HG 1e and HG 2e.

Sorry about not replying sooner, I've been busy on a project that includes docking clamps but on a different section.

I'm beginning to think that my sticky note was from the HG3 project that Donald McKinney conducted on ct starships back around 2008 I think. At the end Donald McKinney indicated that the project was actually for T5. Unfortunately, I did not keep copies of the document in my files on the computer and only have a couple of pages as paper copies.

Also a quick check of High Guard 1e (1979) doesn’t turn up anything on Docking Clamps.

Hi Tom,

The best I could find in High Guard is this:

Vehicle Launch Facilities Page 32.

Dispersed Structures: Ships which have a type 7 configuration hull carry craft and ships attached to their exterior. They need no additional fittings. All craft carried by a configuration 7 ship may be launched in one turn.

Which would suggest that docking clams are included in the 110% reequipment for ships/boats over 99 tons.

Best regards,

Ewan

Hello again Ethan,

I did look through my copy of TCS without finding any reference to docking clamps, but there is a possibility that I missed the information.

Thank you for the suggestion.

Hello Ethan,

Anything is possible, but my notes with a source and page number usually denote the information is there. For example I wrote in my CT LBB 5 HG 2e book that fixed mounts are found in the Solomani Alien Module 6 on page 42.

Does the note just mean that the information _should_ be on that page?

Hello all,

I have a dead tree sticky note in my paper CT LBB 5 HG 2e concerning docking clamps. The note indicates that a docking clamp has an airlock and a page number. Unfortunately, there is nothing on the HG 2e page 32 referenced in the note.

My search of the paper and PDF copies of CT material I have not found any mention of docking clamps.

As indicated in the subject line I have found something similar in TNE, T20, and MgT.

Can someone please let me know if CT really mentions docking clamps and where I can find the information.
