Purpose of Page

This page to contain the basic steps for creating civilian and military ships.

Points to include:

- minimum size of cargo hold for transferring structures.
- minimum safe maintenance and fuel levels and failure rates.
- matching distance and resolution on active sensors, targeting sensors and weapons to make full use of the weapon.
- some common fleet compositions, i.e. dedicated offensive, dedicated defensive, dedicated scout, or generic designs with a bit of everything.

Please feel free to edit/add to this page as you see fit!

Standard Components

Armour - added automatically.
Bridge - ships under 1000 Tons do not need a bridge.
Crew Quarters - everything needs crew.
Engineering Spaces - helps with failure rate, damage control and maintenance supply. Needed for any extended deployment when not near resupply point.
Fuel Storage - needed for any extended deployment when not near refueling point.

Optional Extras Thermal Sensor - to help detect ships whilst in transit, for evasion is contact is hostile

Non Military Ships
