Bulk Freighter from the X-Wing series
I'm developing a deckplan for the bulk freighters from the X-Wing series of video games. I've worked up a model and provisional stats for the vessel.
Game Statistics
These are provisional stats, and are subject to change
Craft: BFF-1 bulk freighter
Type: Bulk Freighter
Scale: Capital
Length: 103.6 meters
Skill: Space transports
Crew: 10 (skeleton 4)
Passengers: --
Cargo Capacity: 200,000 metric tons (in cargo pods)
Consumables: 3 months
Cost: 2,000,000 credits (new), 900,000 credits (used)
Hyperdrive Multiplier: x4
Hyperdrive Backup: --
Nav Computer: Yes
Maneuverability: 0D
Space: 4
Atmosphere: 280; 800 kmh
Hull: 1D+1
Shields: 4D+2
Sensors:
Passive: 15/0D
Scan: 30/1D
Search: 40/2D
Focus: 2/2D
I'll be posting proper development orthos soon. In the mean-time, I'd like to get everyone's input to refine the stats. This ship's reference thread can be found here.

Re: Bulk Freighter from the X-Wing series
Great way to start a development thread. This should be an example to all future starts.

Re: Bulk Freighter from the X-Wing series
...well...it's a good start...but I think that there are several names...and sizes for this bulk freighter-thingy....all coming from the X-wing- and TIE Fighter-series of games....I seem to recall the name and porportions changing somewhat through all the game incarnations...though I could be wrong....as it's been years since I've played 'em

Re: Bulk Freighter from the X-Wing series
Indeed there are. The ship is listed as 90m, 100m, and 121m, getting progressivly larger in each game. The 103.67m (103.6666666...m to be exact) is an average of these three numbers, I'm leaning toward this number because the diffent versions are clearly intended to be the same vessel. Alternatively, we could say there are three separate lengths and do three separate versions, but at 2000 pixels long and three decks each, that is a huge amount of work, and all the parts need to be developed from scratch.
What I'm really worried about are the Hull and Shield stats (especially the shield stats). I got these by comparing the Wookiepedia hull and shield stat listings for this ship to the CR-90 and inferring from there. As Wookiepedia is known for its f***-ups, these numbers are inherently suspect. I don't have access to a large pool of large freighters to compare with, so some input here would be most appreciated.

Re: Bulk Freighter from the X-Wing series
Why not just round down the length to an even 100 meters? Or round up to a nice round 105 meters?

Re: Bulk Freighter from the X-Wing series
Top view ortho (sorry, large image):
This view does not include the cargo pods.
The top is the front.

This must be the ship with the most boring outside ever.

Re: Bulk Freighter from the X-Wing series
Boring maybe but think of the smuggling possibilities, or military.
Nice little pocket carrier, after some mods to the cargo pods.
