Customization
The existing stat lines are now the Baseline design, the most common class of that type in the national Navy and exemplary of doctrinal predilections. However, there are many different classes of ship in every category, and this system will allow you to represent them.
You can swap up to 8 points on the Baseline design for every variant design.
Costs
- Spinal Cannon: 6 points
- Vector Lasers: 1 point
- Hull Type 0 can convert Vector Lasers to Heavy Lasers for free.
- Other Weapons: 2 points
- AM Accelerator: 3 points
- Armor: 2 points for each unit of Shields added.
- Shield: 1 point for each unit of Shields added.
- Hull: 2 for 1 point
- Acceleration: 2 points
- Batteries: 2 for 1 point
- Capacitors: 1 point
- E-War: (Under construction)
- AEWACs: Short for "Aerospace Early Warning and Aerospace Control", these add more extensive communication arrays, and a command staff.
- [Basic +2 Init] 1 pts
- [Superior + 3 Init] 2 pts
- [Advanced +5 Init] 3 pts
Templates
Additionally there are templates that create customization.
- Flagship/Experimental: +14 upgrade points
- First Line: +8 upgrade points
- Second Line: Baseline
- Reserve: No modernizations OR -5 customization points
- STL/Dragoon: +1 to Hull Type (can stack with another template)
- Only First Line ships can take:
- Plasma Cannon Upgrade
- Superheavy Plating
- Improved Shields
- Spinal Cannon Improvement
Upgrades
Can only be taken with Upgrade points.
- Plasma Gun Battery:
- [Small 2] 1 point
- [Large 5] 6 pts
- Low Observation Hullform: 3 pts
- Fortress Projector: 4 pts
- Improved Shields: 1 point for each unit of Shields added.
- Superheavy Plating: Convert existing armor to Superheavy Plating. Costs 4 points.
- Upengine:
- +1 Acceleration for 2 points
- +2 Acceleration for 3 points
- +3 Acceleration for 6 points
- Rifter EW: (+1/+5 to EW) 3 pts
- Spinal Cannon Improvement: 2 points
