Stats for some of these like the ore processor, scoops etc would need to be
brought in from another system. I don't remember anything in TNE that would
cover these. If Gurps has them they will need to be converted to metric of
course.

A big linear accelerator could be done I suppose by fiddling with the mass
driver rules to design a high capacity lower velocity system.

Perhaps the Bussard hydrogen ram scoop construction sequence could be used
for an ore scoop, at least for metallic asteroids. Don't know what it would
do for power requirements though, a smaller funnel but a greater mass to be
shifted?

I would guess some of the following

1) ore processing plant

2) Linear accelerator or similar

3) long duration quarters

4) full hnagers for small craft

5) sickbays

6) scoops and processors

7) zero g design

basically anything that gives long duration
