Quirks

@@ Line 43: / Line 43: @@
 The possibility of budget overruns, or finding out that the new design is a lemon is part of the reason why only a few of the new ship class are constructed in the first production run.<br>
 If you decide you don’t want a rolled quirk for a ship, you may pay 1 R&D or Military token and $1000 to “buy it off”.  This process is instant (and represents working out the issues during prototyping and construction or whatever)
-Stacking Modules<br>
 There is only so much armor or guns you can affix to a ship before diminishing returns begins to be a factor.  Every time, after the second, you increase a stackable module it doubles the module cost, the second costs one and the third two, slotless modules do not count for this purpose.  So, in total, 2 modules would take 2 module slots, 3 modules would take 4 slots, and 4 modules would take 8 slots.  Certain modules are one-offs however and do not gain benefit from being multiples.  The modules that can be stacked are labeled with an (M).<br>
 Note that this stacking penalty only applies to the modules fitted in the ‘module slots’ of the ship hull (referred to as ‘picked modules’).  Some doctrines or other things add a slotless (X) module to a ship.  Slotless modules do not interact with stacking penalties.<br>

	This ship is equipped with a High grade OPF Fold Drive, which can transit any tram line or jump gate at will and quickly. This means it ignores limitations on size and quality for any jump line on the map. They also can enter and emerge from a tram line far from its mouth, giving them significant strategic and tactical flexibility.

This ship has a minimal logistics footprint, meaning its weight is counted as halved for deployment weight limits when assigned to Piracy and Commerce Protection missions in a sector. It still consumes full supply.

	This ship has the ability to, in the short-term, stabilize and expand tramlines to allow the passage of larger ships in company with the gatepuncher. This ability does not work well under fire and generally requires the ship to be more or less undamaged.

			''A standard throughout the galaxy, the humble escort division serves as a staple for patroling and picketing operations. Due the the extremely cheap cost of production, there are endless variations of what is considered an escort, though often they are retrofitted civilian vessels with enhanced guns and sensors, many dedicated military variants of the vessels exist. Due to the small size of the individual vessels, an escort division encompasses 2-6 vessels, which work together closely.''

These characteristics of excelling in operating alone away from home make them excellent piracy or trade protection craft.''
