Specific small merchant ship/ cargo carrier

[ScrapDaddy]

Has anyone built a ship similar to the Serenity for RIFTS?
I'm looking for a small cargo/merchant ship, more or less.
I'm playing a Space Wolfen Cosmo-Knight that is posing as a freelance cargo pilot.

Thanks in advance all-

Or maybe a Techno Wizard conversion of a C-130 or something?

Are you looking for spaceship or ship ship hehe? If you are looking for space ship there are a couple examples or runner ships from various phase world books although the main books tend to be more military and less cargo/mercenary transport.

If you have some of the older rifters I think rifter 34 or maybe 35 has a runner ship generation table for phase world which is a really nice slick way of setting up a good firefly/millenium falcon type of ship.

Thanks Kaid- A buddy in our group has most of the Rifters, so I could thumb through them and build away.
I just discovered Kitsune's page, Great resource for most types of vehicles.

I'm looking for a space ship, but I thought that a modified Golden Age C-130 or other large aircraft would be pretty sweet.

I will post whatever I build though, I don't mind to share!!

Not to be mean or anything, but wouldn't this make more sense in the Rifts: Dimension Books forum? I imagine (since I rarely venture there having no interest in dimensions out side of North America) that there are a number of fan made space craft.

Hope those help.

P.S.; Rifter 31 has some examples of dedicated small-freighters.

Apologies if this was the wrong place to post. However, Thanks to leading me to the correct Rifter (34), I now have a ship that meets my needs.
Hopefully it will meet the need of others.

We are currently under the employ of Nicholas, Son of Alexander, AKA Santa Claus, in Winterland.
He sponsored the construction of this ship, In his personal workshop, 70 years ago for his personal errands.
It has now been gifted to the Cosmo-Knight Abrastus Erebus, who pilots the craft as his cover story.
