Type J Seeker

The Type J Seeker is based on the Type S Scout Courier. The power
plant, jump drive, and HEPlaR maneuver drives are retained. The
flight deck is modified by removal of a workstation and
downgrading the sensor and communications suites. A dedicated
engineering workstation is in the main engineering compartment.
The hard point has a laser turret added, which is slaved to the
flight deck work stations. There is no fire control other than a
beam pointer integral to the turret. The crew quarters are
modified by removal of the staterooms and replacement with 2
small staterooms. The major modification is removal of the main
crew lounge and replacement with two 10-ton cargo bays with large
bay doors. The top deck forward 3-ton cargo section is retained
for mining supplies or incidental cargos. The top deck aft
storage is now a small crew lounge with food preparation area. A
small ship’s locker is retained immediately adjacent to
the main airlock. Last, the Air/raft is replaced by a grav buggy
for use in asteroid exploration/prospecting.

Notes: Fuel purification plant (1.05 MW) to refine 508.558 m3
fuel (36.3 tons) in 14.50 hours. The power shortfall means that
the contragrav lifters or the radio may not be powered while the
turret is in operation or some other combination. The life
support system of the older Type S is retained which is prone to
the same issues. Most crews bring at least one extra set of CO2
scrubbers when maneuvering into deep orbit. Normal practice is
two crew performing two crew roles each, such as pilot/sensor ops
and engineer/gunner effectively doubles the operational range of
the Type J Seeker.
