Editing NiS/Ship to Ship Combat (section)

==Ship Stats==
'''Speed''':<br> The speed stat represents how quickly your ship flies, the power of its conventional engines, and the power of its warp drive.  The faster a ship is, the less time it is in the air for something to go wrong.  Also, a fast ship is helpful when you’re trying to escape from that Imperial destroyer who has mistaken you for a notorious pirate.

'''Maneuverability''':<br>  A good captain will tell you that the key to winning any naval engagement is to put yourself in a place where you can shoot your opponent, and your opponent can’t shoot you.  A ship’s Maneuverability functions in ship-to-ship combat the way weapons skill functions in hand to hand.

'''Armor''':<br> This value represents how think the ships hide is.  Armor is a ships toughness in ship-to-ship combat.

'''Reliability''':<br> Reliability represents how prone a ship’s systems are to malfunction, and how much damage they can stand up to before they fail.  In ship-to-ship combat, reliability checks are taken to keep damaged systems online.  Also, reliability checks are required when travel events cause ship’s systems to malfunction

'''Offensive Capabilities''':<br> Given the large number of pirates who sail the black abyss, even merchantmen pack a substantial battery of weapons.  The OC stat is the punch that the ship packs.  It functions like strength in melee combat.

'''Batteries''':<br> Batteries is the number of weapons emplacements the ship has.  A ships batteries characteristic function like attacks in melee.

'''Communications''':<br>  Communications are a measure of the ship’s ability to raise radio or vox contact with ground forces.  Consequently, the communication’s statistic isn’t used much during ship-to-ship combat.

'''Sensors''':<br>  Sensors 

'''Security''':<br> The security value is how defensible the inside of a ship is, and how secure its systems and compartments are.  The Security characteristic is used to ward off boarding actions, and it is also use to prevent prisoner escapes.
