Editing Last Emperor: Starships (section)

=Description=
Starships have a number of statistics in common with other vehicles and an additional set. Base statistcis are Durability, size, structure, acceleration, and handing. Starships do not have a top speed or safe top speed. New statistics or abilities are sensor rating, Steath rating, crew size, weapons list, and equipment.
===Durability===
The ability of the ship to resist damage from weapons and other attacks. Starships start with a durability of 5, to resist radiation and micrometorites. 
===Size===
Starship size is measured in spaces, a rectangular prism about 5' by 5' by 10' (1.5m x 1.5m x 3m). This space comfortably holds one medium size (Size 5) creature and their control systems. Spaceships range in size from about 10 spaces to 20,000 or more. A 10 space starship is about Size 15 (on the WoD scale). Each space is about 1 ton when empty, 3 tons when filled with cargo, and 8 tons when filled with equipment (e.g  drives, armor, weapons, etc.)
===Structure===
Structure is the measure of the damage capacity of the ship. Starship structure is not calcuated by adding Durability and Size, but is a function of number of spaces of the ship and construction. 
===Acceleration===
Acceleration is the rating of how much engine power is availble to move the craft. Unlike other vehicles, the starship acceleration is an abstract measure of how well it accelerates compared to other ships. Ships with higher accelerations have an advantage in combat. 
===Handling=== 
Handling of a starship is how well it can make small changes in course over a short period of time to avoid obstacles. Most starships are not capable of handing well, and have a significant penalty to their pilots skills. 
===Sensor Rating===
Starship sensors are it's eyes and ears. All starships come with a standard set of sensors, but some have significant upgrades, with much more sensitive systems. 
===Stealth Rating===
Some ships, usually warships or smugglers vehicles, have modifications to make them less detectable by other ship sensors. By default, ships have a stealth rating of 0 (no penalty to detect), but it is possible to improve this. 
===Crew size===
While small ships require only one crew member (the pilot), larger ships require larger crews sometimes into the hundreds or even thousands. 
===Weapons===
Ships mount weapons for piracy defense, as weapons of war, and to discurage competition. 
===Equipment===
Each ship also has a list of equipment and other special features, These include cargo spaces, passenger cabins, workshops and labs, hanger bays, fuel tanks, escape pods, and any number of other things.
