Craft Construction Test Builds

Craft Bodies

Craft are designed slightly differently from warships; instead of simply having Spaces, they have both Spaces and Power. This is because Craft are much more size-constrained than ships; having a powerplant with the output of a miniature star doesn't mean you can dual-wield 2000mm hyper mega particle cannons.

Body Expansions physically increase the size of the craft, enabling more stuff to be fitted inside the frame. Body expansions will progressively increase the size of the Craft. Each Body Expansion adds +2 Spaces.
External Carriage is hot-swappable items, normally munitions. On aircraft it generally takes the form of pylon-mounted weapons, whereas mecha usually have one or more hand-carried weapons.
Power is outputted by the Craft's onboard powerplant and is consumed by various items. Power is routed to any attached item, be it internal or external. Rules may exist to de-activate items in order to activate others. (expect this to only be available for 'roleplaying' scenarios)

Bomber

Base Spaces: 12

Base Size: 10
Expansion Threshhold: +1 Size per Body expansion
Transatmospheric
Gains 2x spaces, 2x power, all propulsion and defenses take up 3x space and cost.
Bombers can carry large internal payloads and consequently when loading missile/bomb weapons, for every 2 of a specific type loaded, a third may be loaded at no space requirement.

MA Enclosure

Super Aerospace can use Mobile Armor Enclosures. These provide larger stocks of consumables, spare parts etc as well as the ability to perform maintenance and support activities 'under armor'. An enclosure can support up to two mobile armors/super robots (or one SMA/Exofortress) and requires its own hardpoint. Enclosures can also be used to support dropships or parasites, one enclosure per dropship/parasite.
