Ship Overview

The deep-space hauler No Whammies is a modular, well-equipped, independently chartered and stubborn junker with a large number of features to improve its odds in the back reaches.

Propulsion

A variety of methods of propulsion are available to No Whammies.

A fusion reactor supplies long-haul thrust through a primary burner and two main vector nozzles.

In addition, it is currently equipped with deployable solar beam condensers and solar sails to chart efficient paths through space.

Lastly, an antimatter engine contributes increased acceleration in the event of emergency burns for repositioning.

Modules

The modules are split into two sections: the central bay area and the orbital.

In the central bay area are the 3 primary thrusters, the fusion reactor, the antimatter tank, the loading bay, and the pilot’s cockpit.

Within the loading bay are compartmentalized storage bulwarks containing a large variety of goods, including a DSO Autonomous Remote Vending Machine, an antimatter trawl, and enough robotic equipment to mine asteroids.

In the orbital, which can orbit in tandem with the central bay area to generate gravity, are the amenities of the ship.

These include an electronics room with a large computer server, a medical bay, life-support, hibernation pods, and expandable residential quarters for the crew.

The large computer server enables the use of a central artificial intelligence and a virtual reality entertainment system.

The orbital can detach from the central bay in the event of emergency, and switch to secondary engines, acting as a large escape pod.

The orbital itself also has its own escape pods.
