Agreed, the Type J would be 'small potatos', but I'm still
working on the small craft for a 5000 ton mining vessel. More to
come...

The contest(?) was for a mining ship design ... IMHO the Type J
would qualify - barely it would definitly be small potatoes
though only really suitable for a prospector. And significant
strikes/finds would be better dealt with by a larger vessel.
Still a small fleet of prospectors supporting a (much) larger
operation could be viable. T

I liked the write up on the J cause he specified downgrading the
electronics suite and turret being slaved to a position on the
bridge (I kinda figured that was mil spec anyway but the way he
wrote it up it seems that 1. the bridge controls/programs are not
mil-spec and the on-mount gunner position being eliminated makes
it difficult for the J to be used for piracy effectively without
considerable rework.) --- On Tue, 5/11/10, ca>

I have a design that I started, but never finished. I would
love to submit it (I thought I missed the deadline so put it
off). I can likely have it done by the end of this weekend, if
that would be okay.
