The Ship

(Will post a separate page when we name the old girl. This is just Leitz's first draft of a ship. Nothing set in stone. This design uses all the funds, gives us 100 tons of cargo space, and only uses 60% of max power. We can save some cash and build in workshops and an armory as we go.)

Start with 800,000

500,000 Free Trader Hull Speed 3, Armor 2, HP 20, Crew 1/6, AC 6, Power 10, Free Mass 15, Hard Points 2, Class Frigate

100,000 Drive 2 upgrade (Best we can do and have other stuff)

50,000 Atmos Config (Allows landing)

25,000 Extended Stores (Let's us last in space while fixing/hiding)

50,000 Fuel Scoops (Free fuel)

50,000 Survey Sensor Array (Scope out the planet before landing)

25,000 Fuel Bunkers (Gives us two jump capability. That is, jump into a hot zone and we can jump right back out if we have to.)

House Rules

• Weapon Damage figures in the base book are a bit too high. The following are revised. Weapons are -2 to hit against armor that is 2 or more Tech Levels higher. Weapons ignore armor that is 2 or more Tech Levels lower.
  • Small low-tech weapons such as clubs, daggers, saps, etc. do 1d4.
  • Medium-sized one-handed low-tech weapons like swords or maces do 1d6.
  • Two-handed low-tech weapons such as greatswords do 1d8.
  • Primitive and Advanced bows do 1d6.
  • Grenades do 2d6.
  • Kinesis Wraps do 1d3+1
  • Stun Batons do 1d6
  • Suit Rippers deal 1d4
  • Dagger-sized monoblades do 1d6+1. Sword-sized monoblades do 1d8+1.
  • Firearms don't differ wildly in damage depending on their tech level. However, they do interact differently with armor and of course low-tech guns can't match a modern weapon's rate of fire, ammunition capacity, or in some cases reliability.
  • Crude Pistols, Revolvers, and Semi-automatic pistols do 1d6.
  • Muskets, Rifles, Combat Rifles, and SMGs deal 1d8.
