===Inertialess Drive=== There are three types of inertialess drive. A ship with level 4, 5, or 6 in the [[#Space Flight|Space Flight]] attribute will have an anti-gravity, inertialess or subspace (field) drive respectively. The difference between the three is how efficient they are at cancelling gravity waves. Most Starships will have level 6 Space Flight, levels 1 thru 5 are only seen on older vessels or interplanetary vessels. An inertial drive creates a bubble of zero inertia around the ship. Anything small which enters the bubble stops moving immediately relative to the bubble. (Bullets suck against spaceships.) Anything inside the bubble moves relative to the ship, so the captain still gets to breathe and shoot passengers. If anything large extends outside the bubble, such as another ship or a planet, then the bubble and spaceship stop. To move, the ship needs a method of propulsion. During interplanetary (Space) flight, propulsion is provided by a Fusion Drive which chucks energy out the back. During interstellar (Star) flight it is provided by a Mass Thrust Drive which fires out a stream of anything from Hydrogen to Platinum out the back.
