===Components===

See [[Missile Launcher]]s.
Lasers have four components, each with their own tech line. Some of the components are shared with other energy weapons, while some are laser specific. The components are Laser Focal Size, Laser Wavelength, Capacitor Recharge Rate, Reduced Size Lasers. Please note that the maximum range of any laser system is 1.5m km. This is because the smallest time increment is 5 seconds and light has to obey the laws.
 
====Laser Focal Size====
 
Laser Focal Size ranges from 10cm to 80cm. Larger sized beams cause more damage and have a longer base recharge time. Focal size has a bearing on the maximum range of the overall laser system.

====Capacitor Recharge Rate====
 
This particular component is shared between all of the energy-based weapons. I will only detail it in this section, and refer back to it from others.
 
 
 
Capacitor recharge rate directly influences the amount of power recharges by the weapon system every 5 seconds. It is equal to the Rate, e.g. Capacitor Recharge Rate 25 = 25 power per 5 seconds.
 
 
 
The available rates are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 20, 25.
 
====Reduced Size Lasers====
 
This particular component reduces the size of the laser system at the expense of the recharge rate. There are three levels available. Standard has no change to size or rate. Reduced .75 reduces the size by 25% while increasing the recharge by 4x. Reduced .5 reduces the size by 50% and increases the recharge rate by 20x.

===Components===
 
===Components===
The components for Active Sensors and Fire Control are Active Sensor Strength, Antenna Size, Minimum Resolution, Hardening and Active Sensor Type.
+
 
===Active Sensor Strength===
+
====Shield Type ====
This is the strength of the scanners. It uses the Active Grav Sensor Strength research. The values are 10, 12, 16, 21, 28, 36, 48, 60, 80, 100, 135, 180. The range of the scanner is Strength x Resolution x Antenna Size x 10,000km. Missile controls multiply that range by 3.
+
 
===Antenna Size===
+
Alpha to Omega 1-15 shield strength
This is a variable determined by the player. There is no associated tech line with it. It is used in determining the maximum range of the system.
+
 
===Minimum Resolution===
+
====Shield Regeneration Rate ====
This is a variable that determines the smallest object the system can detect at range. NOTE: Smaller objects can be detected, but at severely reduced ranges. Resolution Zero Mode is usually reserved for anti-missile installations. Each resolution increment adds 50 tons to the minimum size detected.
+
 
===Hardening===
+
Shield Regeneration Rate depends on the Regeneration Rate research and ranges from 1 - 15
This is a researched line. It is used to protect the installation against EM damage. Values range from 0 to 8.
+
 
==Thermal Sensors==
+
==== Fuel Efficiency ====
 +
 
 +
Fuel efficiency decreases the amount of fuel consumed by a multiple from 1x - 0.1x depending on researched Fuel Efficiency modifier.
 +
 
 
==Jump Engines==
 
==Jump Engines==
==Beam Fire Control==
+
 
This installation is used to control beam weapons.
 
 
===Components===
 
===Components===
The components for Beam Fire Control are Beam Fire Control Distance Rating, Fire Control Speed Rating, Fire Control Size vs Range, Fire Control Size vs Tracking Speed, Hardening, Platform Type, Ship Type Limitations.
 
===Beam Fire Control Distance Rating===
 
This rating determines the range at which the beam will be at 50% accuracy. Values are 10,000km, 16,000km, 24,000km, 32,000km, 40,000km, 48,000km, 60,000km, 75,000km, 100,000km, 125,000km, 150,000km, 175,000km.
 
===Fire Control Speed Rating===
 
This determines how fast the fire control can bring the weapon(s) to bear on the target. NOTE: The final speed rating is determined by ship speed or turret speed. Values for this are 1,250km/s, 2,000km/s, 3,000km/s, 4,000km/s, 5,000km/s, 6,250km/s, 8,000km/s, 10,000km/s, 12,500km/s, 15,000km/s, 20,000km/s, 25,000km/s.
 
===Fire Control Size vs. Range/Tracking Speed===
 
These two items are very similar in that the player may reduce or increase the size of the installation for a bonus (or penalty) to the Range or Tracking Speed.

The number of ships without a jump engine that can follow a ship equipped with this jump engine through a jump point.
 +
 
 +
Ranges from 3-12 squadron size; increases jump engine size.
 +
 
 +
====Jump Point Distance====
 +
 
 +
This is useful if you are planning on jumping into an enemy system where the enemy could be waiting for you on the other side.  It allows you to jump and be further from the jump point; it slightly increases jump engine size.
 +
 
 +
====Size====
 +
 
 +
Increases the HullSize the component takes up but also increases the maximum size of the ship it can jump.  The Max Ship Size has to be greater than the ship's total hull size; this includes the jump engine itself, so remember when designing a jump engine that you need to account for both the size of the ship + the jump engine's considerable mass.
 +
 
 +
Please note, that when jumping multiple ships in a fleet, no jump engine can jump a ship larger than the ship it is mounted on, even if the Max Ship Size can accommodate both ships.  If the accompanying ship is smaller than the ship equipped with the jump engine, both ships can pass through normally.
 +
 
 +
====Jump Drive Type====
 +
 
 +
'''Military-'''
 +
 
 +
Military jump engines are smaller in size and suffer no penalty to max jump squadron size, with more efficient use of size.
 +
 
 +
'''Civilian-'''
 +
 
 +
Less efficient use of size and significantly larger overall, but can jump larger ships than military version (10x higher Max Ship Size than military).  Civilian drives are less costly, but their max jump squadron size is penalized by one.

All the systems listed here are able to be player designed. This article used to detail the various components. The box below contains all player designed systems. What is left here are the systems that did not get moved due to Pages already existing. It is currently a work in progress.

Missile Launchers

See Missile Launchers.

Components

The main components of missile launchers are Size, Reload Rate, Platform Type, and Reduced Size.

Launcher Size

This directly affects how big of a missile may be fired. It also affects the Rate of Fire. A launcher may launch any missile available up to and equal to its size, e.g. a size 6 launcher may fire size 1-6 missiles.

Missile Launcher Size
Size Max Missile Size Base Rate of Fire
1 1 30
2 2 60
3 3 90
4 4 120
5 5 150

18 18 540
20 20 600
24 24 720

Reload Rate

The reload rate affects how fast the missile launcher may be reloaded and fired. The level of reload rate is used as a divisor to the base reload rate from the size of the launcher. The available rates are 1 - 12.

Platform Type

There are two options available here, Ship-based and PDC-based. The PDC option cuts the base reload time in half.

Reduced Size

The options here allow the launcher to be reduced in size at the expense of reload rate.

Missile Reduced Size
Size Rate Notes

.75 2x
.5 5x
.33 20x
.25 100x +on Mount Magazine (includes internal magazine)
Box (.15) 15x No internal reload

Shields

Stop laser and Missile damage until 0.00 strength, then damage passes to armor.

Components

Shield Type

Alpha to Omega 1-15 shield strength

Shield Regeneration Rate

Shield Regeneration Rate depends on the Regeneration Rate research and ranges from 1 - 15

Fuel Efficiency

Fuel efficiency decreases the amount of fuel consumed by a multiple from 1x - 0.1x depending on researched Fuel Efficiency modifier.

Jump Engines

Components

Jump Drive efficiency

Ranges from 3-25; increase via research.

Max Jump Squadron Size

The number of ships without a jump engine that can follow a ship equipped with this jump engine through a jump point.

Ranges from 3-12 squadron size; increases jump engine size.

Jump Point Distance

This is useful if you are planning on jumping into an enemy system where the enemy could be waiting for you on the other side. It allows you to jump and be further from the jump point; it slightly increases jump engine size.

Size

Increases the HullSize the component takes up but also increases the maximum size of the ship it can jump. The Max Ship Size has to be greater than the ship's total hull size; this includes the jump engine itself, so remember when designing a jump engine that you need to account for both the size of the ship + the jump engine's considerable mass.

Please note, that when jumping multiple ships in a fleet, no jump engine can jump a ship larger than the ship it is mounted on, even if the Max Ship Size can accommodate both ships. If the accompanying ship is smaller than the ship equipped with the jump engine, both ships can pass through normally.

Jump Drive Type

Military-

Military jump engines are smaller in size and suffer no penalty to max jump squadron size, with more efficient use of size.

Civilian-

Less efficient use of size and significantly larger overall, but can jump larger ships than military version (10x higher Max Ship Size than military). Civilian drives are less costly, but their max jump squadron size is penalized by one.


Military jump engines cannot open jump points for civilian vessels, and vice versa.

Railgun
