Design Notes

The Kinsale is a standard TL 13 type S scout/courier modified to do jump 4. With jump 4 capabilities the Kinsale is able to be used as an X-boat in addition to the normal service as a scout/courier. The Kinsale class is built at our shipyards on Rhylanor/Rhylanor/Spinward Marches and Capitol/Core/Core (M0: Sylea). She is similar in design to the Scout/Courier's built by many corporations through out known space. With a crew of three, provisions for three passengers, 5 tons of cargo and an empty turret socket she is highly customizable and capable of many tasks.

The empty turret socket can either be equipped with a turret or a lifeboat. The turret usually contains multiple weapon systems, such as, a short range laser, two missile canisters and a small sandcaster. A standard 2.75 ton life boat can be installed in the turret socket, such as the LB12/C or LB12/L produced by SSC. If no lifeboat is installed then Imperial regulations require that the air raft be capable of serving in that capacity.

An extra workstation is installed. This can be used either as a gunnery workstation to operate the turret or as a medic/stewards workstation. Part of the on board storage area can be used to house an MFD and/or LIDAR for the weapons systems. There is plenty of surplus power to operate the weapons systems (over 51MW).

The Kinsale has fuel scoops and can purify a full load of unrefined fuel in just over 18 hours. This makes the Kinsale ideal for use in situations where there are no sources for refined fuel.

This design includes several optional features: a radio jammer, passive jammer, drive masking and neutrino masking. If these are not installed the price drops to 34.910 MCr and the storage increases to .32 tons. The IR signature drops to -0.5 (-1 at 10MW), Neutrino signature drops to -1 and the speeds increase by about 10 kph top and 8 kph cruise.
