Wasn't it a big sphere?
Its been almost 20 years since I played the original Traveller. Isn't the Broadsword class merc ship basically a giant sphere with landing gear and a some propulsion accoutremont at the base of the sphere?
I see a big ball landing in the distance... wouldn't that basically describe a Broadsword class ship?

A one more design note.
I don't know how to express this in the design rules, but I envisioned the laser turrets as being on a sliding track. This would allow them to target ships both for and aft of the ship.

Yep, that's Andrew!
Using Andrew's picture as a reference, do you imagine the track going horizontally or vertically?
The Broadsword has always reminded me of the Union class dropship from BattleTech. I wonder which one came first? If it was a FASA design, it could well be crossover from BattleTech.
