d100 Merchant Starships

So I'm going to do some more generic SF Tables for space opera games so here is something I would have found handy. Traveller patrons book was pretty good adventure fodder for random heists. Could be usable for Traveller or GURPS or other space opera games. I run BRP with bits of Ringworld by choice, GURPS space, 2300 and star frontiers tacked on.

This should be handy to generate various ships to encounter in space, wrecks or populating a starport. You might just wanna see what other ships are in the area. The biggest ships have more boats and may require tugs and tenders to offload. Most of the ships of a 1000T+ are not atmosphere capable in lower techs and generally a tube covered in cargo pods or a slab structure of pods. Larger ships are more likely to carry a dedicated type of cargo and the smaller ones more mixed and varied cargo. Most of the largest ships has no internal life support outside the crew area. Smaller ships more likely to carry passengers. Cargo pods with frozen passenger pods are available for the most desperate or emergency mass transit of peoples. Smaller ships will often have spare state rooms for a few passengers but these tend to be cramped. Specialist human movers have multiple classes of passenger berths. In most civilized advanced eras stargates and teleporters make such travel rare and mostly in backwaters.

The bigger the ship the more boring and corporate they tend to be.
