The Eclipse - Interplanetary Sailing Vessel

Ahoy, m'hearties! This be the finest ship to sail between worlds, made from a revolutionary new material; Wood!* Crafted in the finest Space-Britain shipyards to carry fuel and goods between colonies, with holographic sails and hydrogen masts to vertically lift and accelerate heavy loads The Eclipse is capable of atmospheric flight and vertical takeoff on pure Atmospheric Engine thrust, provided the cargo bay is not too heavily-stocked, allowing it to sail through both skies and space as desired without worry of expending fuel.

Cargo is stored in a single central hold in the belly of the ship, accounting for munitions and cargo in one place.

This ship is not, AT ALL, for naval-style piracy upon passing ships and planetary settlements. Any indication otherwise is an utter lie, and there are no piratical sails available onboard as an alternative to the regular ones.

Weaponry

900mm Broadside Cannons - The Eclipse has twenty broadside cannon, ten-a-side, and two more at the front. These are protected by barrel covers that must be retracted prior to firing before sinking filthy bilge-rats with a volley.

40mm Bofors - A means to swat nasty little starfighters after your boo-cargo, definitely legitimate cargo. The belly-mounted ones are for covering the underside, and not at all for supressing planetary settlements with a hail of explosive bullets to make them cough up their belongings.

M61 Vulcans - AMS Gatling fire for stopping incoming cannon and missile-fire.


Sails
The Eclipse comes with multiple projectors to store different sails to unfurl, and comes loaded with two. A blueprint template of a blank set of sails can be found here so you can make your own. Just align them to the same position as the existing ones in one of the spare Projectors.

-Blank Sails- Pure white sails and flag, for general decorative effect.

-Extremely Legitimate Trading Company- Just regular old sails with Space-England flag. Good old Union Space-Jack. Not at all Piratical sails to unfurl as you hunt trading ships down for their booty. Not. At. All.


Subcraft
For travelling down to planets or other vessels, the Eclipse has a pair of R.O.W. Boats mounted to the deck. They are secured by maglocks on both the Eclipse's deck and the boats themselves, along with a belly connector for transferring cargo. They are in no way intended for leading daring piratical raids on other ships.


NOTE - If you want to make alterations to it, the RGB colours to get the right shade for the ship's wood-brown are as follows;

Hue: 27 Degrees
Saturation: 100
Value: -47



*Or at least wood-looking metal.
