I love the Barreller. I love everything about it. It's a woefully outdated, 100-ton J1 freighter, designed by a penny-pinching Bwap, that cuts costs at every possibly opportunity to make for a truly horrific spacegoing experience. Just reading the description makes me want to look for on-planet patron encounters and never jump again.
On Reddit, someone said that this is a ship held together by quirks, but the Barreller is much more than that. It is a genius of design: every element of the ship design rules has been tortured and manipulated to produce something that is almost, but not entirely, unusable, dangerous, and terrifying. Voyaging one parsec on the ship would require so many skill rolls to avoid death or dismemberment.
You know how the MegaTraveller Starship Operator's Guide had a salty NPC delivering some diatribe against something, and you're like "why are subsidized merchants so bad" when you read it. Well, Barreller is not like that book. When you read these well-written nine pages, you will be thinking "What a piece of junk!" and mean it.
This ship has real character to it. I cannot wait for the next creation from Klomster. I want more more more!
