sorry, I didn't mean to suggest that they couldn't be used as ordinary pinnaces just that they are NOT the Jump drives.

Those custom pinnaces also provided the M-drive capability as the AnnicNova actually had no M-drive.
No. See previous post. They only provide m-drive.
It's a weird ship, but not that weird!The text indicates that the pinnaces are used for more than providing maneuvering drive.
GDW JTAS 1 p. 29: "... They are each 40 ton pinnaces, normally carried in their trailing positions, but readily detachable and may each be used separately."
"The port pinnace is a passenger/cargo carrier. Exiting the interior lock shows a narrow corridor, with a door opposite (leading to the sanitary facilities. Forward is the bridge, with provision for a pilot and an assistant or navigator. Aft is a large open area with collapsible seating for 16 passengers, arranged in four rows of four seats, two on either side of the aisle. When the seats are stowed, bulk cargo totalling 12 tons may be carried; a sliding panel door on the upper surface section of this area may be opened for faster cargo transfer. Behind the open area is the engineering with maneuver drive and maintenance areas. Behind that is the fuel tankage."
"The starboard (originally port) pinnace is apparently set up for longer flights (in that there are sleeping provisions), with four half-sized cramped staterooms. Although there is no cargo area, conceivably, about two tons of cargo could be carries in the central aisle."
