- | One of the earliest spacecraft | + | //Small craft// are less than 100dt and lack a jump drive. |
+ | |||
+ | === Boat === | ||
+ | |||
+ | Anything designed for ferrying passengers and light cargo between ships, normally within a few kilometres | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Shuttle === | ||
+ | |||
+ | A small craft designed for ferrying passengers and cargo between a planet and low orbit. Similar to boats, with limited life support but considerably greater delta-v due to the need to reach orbit. Most shuttles have the ability to land on a planet | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Fighter === | ||
+ | |||
+ | A fighter is a small one or two man craft, generally less than 20dt, designed for combat engagements. They have high acceleration and a delta-v | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Gunboat === | ||
+ | |||
+ | Larger than a fighter, but still smaller than 100dt. They have longer life support duration (weeks or months), and are designed | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Yacht === | ||
+ | |||
+ | A small civilian craft designed for interplanetary travel within a system. Have weeks or months of life support, and moderate delta-v and thrust. Generally unarmed and lightweight. Some of the larger varieties can be greater than 100dt in size, but they are rare. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Civilian Starships ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Free Trader === | ||
+ | |||
+ | A jump capable craft generally up to about 300dt in size. The fact that the crew are also the owners tends to be the main definition of a //Free Trader//. | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Light Freighter === | ||
+ | |||
+ | A jump capable cargo freighter up to 1,000dt in size. | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Medium Freighter === | ||
+ | |||
+ | A jump capable cargo freighter up to 10,000dt in size. | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Heavy Freighter === | ||
+ | |||
+ | A jump capable cargo freighter up to 30,000dt in size. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Military Starships ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Military terminology | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Cruiser === | ||
+ | |||
+ | Tend to be lightly armoured, optimised for long range patrols and prioritising a large delta-v other high thrust. Equipped for long range combat, they make heavy use of missiles with a few long range direct energy weapons. Point defence capability tends to be high | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Destroyer === | ||
+ | |||
+ | A heavily armed and armoured spacecraft which prioritises thrust over delta-v. They tend to prioritise short term engagements rather than long term patrols. | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Frigate === | ||
+ | |||
+ | Designed for use close in to worlds, or escorting transports. They tend to be moderately good at multiple roles, rather than being heavily specialised. They tend to be smaller craft, generally less than a 1000dt. | ||
