A brief explanation of the weapons. There are 2 types of lasers, Beam and Pulse. Beam lasers are more accurate (higher to hit numbers) than the pulse lasers but the punch of the pulse laser moves them lower on the damage chart. There are 2 types of energy weapons. Plasma guns and Fusion guns. At tech level 15 plasma guns have become obsolete over the more powerful fusion guns. (don't bother getting plasma) Missiles are better long range weapons than short range, but take time to reach their target (which occasionally has been destroyed by energy weapon fire.) Consider them the 'torpedo' of the space navy. Also a missile salvo takes up cargo space. - Regular missles take up .1 tons/power factor - Nuclear take up .5 tons/power factor Particle Accelerators could be mounted on small craft but their size and power consumption make them not realistic for small craft. O.k. First of the 'stock small craft' will be the 10 ton fighter and it's main varients (you can tweek any of these but suffer agility a fighters only real defense.)
General Fighters are fast and highly manuverable (6g acceleration and agility 6) with a very streamlined needle/wedge configuration (thus allowing them to enter atmospheres) They have no state rooms so can only operate for short periods of battle engagement or at most a 24 hour patrol. Armor on any small craft is usually considered a waste of space and money as they suffer a critical hit when hit by the weakest weapon (power factor 1) and more for bigger weapons. A fighter taking a hit from a standard fighter would suffer 2 critical hits if the sand didn't stop the incoming shot. The life of a fighter pilot can be short and carriers are frequently obtaining new fighters and pilots after an engagement. The Standard Fighter is armed with a single pulse laser (giving it more punch than the beam laser) and a sand caster to give it a possibilty of defending against incoming shots. The Heavy Pulse Laser Fighter is maxed out with pulse lasers giving it's shot a slighght more chance to hit than the standard fighter but sacrificing that sand caster for defence. The Heavy Beam Laser Fighter is more accurate than the heavy pulse fighter but also lacks the sand caster defence. It is also more expensive than the heavy beam laser fighter. The Missile Fighter is the cheapest of all but with only a 10 shot cargo capacity is usually not the most optimum fighter. The Fusion Gun Fighter has the biggest punch with the fusion gun but lacks the long range of the lasers. This fighter must close to close range (.2 light seconds) to be in range of it's targets. It is also the most expensive of the fighters. Edited by Nuke, Apr 19 2009, 05:52 AM.

Utility and Work Vehicles
The Ships Boat (also refered to as Slow Boat or Life Boat) is the bare essentials. It can carry up to 15 people or can be modified to carry less and some cargo. The Launch is a bigger version (carried by starships) that facilitates the transfer of up to 20 personel and several tons of cargo. The Cutter is the work horse equivilent of the CH-54 flying Crain. It is a flattened sphere 50 ton ship that has 30 ton exchangable modules. The common are the Cargo, Fuel scoop, Troop and courier moduels though custom moduels can be made. (the troop module comes with a 10 ton ATV and jump seats for a squat of troops) The Shuttle is the work horse of orbital facilities and space docks. The standard version can carry 15 passengers and 70 tons of cargo and the long range version can carry 8 passengers and almost 60 tons of cargo. Edited by The Dragon, Dec 30 2008, 09:05 PM.
