Talk:Second Sphere Craft Construction Rules

Proposed Frames

Bomber (large transatmospheric craft)

The next step up from a space fighter, but with transatmospheric capability.

Speed 6, Agility 3, Evasion 2, Armor 10, 6 Hits

Component Space: 24

Hull Growth Factor: 8

External Carriage: 24

External Carriage Growth Factor: 4

Armour, shields and engines take 2x space and power- That is an incredibly retarded limitation.

Superfighter (Thrust Vectoring Rules the Skies, Macross Plus style)

Bitches don't know about my Ribbon emblem.

Speed 12, Agility 9, Evasion 6, Armor 0, 4 Hits

Component Space: 10

Hull Growth Factor: 4

External Carriage: 10

External Carriage Growth Factor: 4

Proposed Components

Engines

Chemical Thruster

+0.5 speed, +0.5 agility

Space: 1

Power: 0

Air-breathing Engine

+1 speed, +0.5 agility, +0.5 Evasion

Atmosphere Only

Space: 2

Power: Generates 1

They might be larger than fusion thrusters for the same speed due to fuel storage needs, but they don't need any power. In fact, they produce it.

Enhanced Airfoils

+1 Agility, +0.5 Evasion

Atmosphere Only

Space: 2

Power: 0

Hypercombustion Generator

+1 Power

Atmosphere Only

Space: 1

For many ground vehicles and atmospheric fighter designs, hypercombustion generators are a viable method of producing power.

Solar Generator

+1 Power, -1 Stealth (non-cumulative), -1 Agility and -1 Evasion for every solar generator after the first

Space: 3

Solar generators are exceedingly cheap power generation systems that are often used for unmanned vehicles that require low cost and high loiter time.

Pistols

Because I can. Because Revolvers and the like are awesome

Plasma Revolver

Spaces: 4

Power: 0

Range 3, accuracy +1, penetration +2, Strength +2, AP Bonus +4, Ship Damage 1, 6 shots

Scram Magnum

Spaces: 4

Power: 0

Range 4, accuracy +1, penetration +4, Strength +3, AP +3, 2 shots, 1 damage

Scram Rifles

During the Magnate war, the engineers of the League did not have the sophisticated electronics and miniaturised systems needed for effective missiles or railguns. However, with modern propellants and the industry to provide replacements, ancient concepts for single-shot 'superguns' could be dredged up and turned into a practical solution for long-range firepower.

Scram Rifle

Spaces: 8

Power: 0

Range 18, accuracy +4, penetration +8, Strength +6, AP +6, 1 shot, 2 damage

Double Scram Rifle

Spaces: 12

Power: 0

Range 18, accuracy +2, penetration +8, Strength +6, AP +6, 2 shot, 2 damage

Heavy Scram Rifle

Spaces: 12

Power: 0

Range 24, accuracy +0, penetration +10, Strength +10, AP +8, 1 shot, 3 damage

Remote Weapons

A recent development, the League does not have the technical know-how or the energy weapons technology to make small, compact remote weapons. Instead, Azadestani engineers enlarged the basic Funnel design to create the Bit, a large bulky remote weapon that contains its own power source, propulsion, and a single Plasma Gun

RAN Plasma Bit

Spaces: 8

Power: 6

Range 12, accuracy -1, penetration +2, Strength +4, No Range Penalty, Remote, AP Bonus +8, Ship Damage 2

Defences

Plasma Wave Defence

Advanced drone types possess defences against missiles, consisting of a 'shockwave' of projected plasma that covers a large arc.

Spaces: 4

Power: 8

Test Builds

Super Lancaster (2x bomber)

Speed 14, Agility 5, Evasion 5, Armor 19 (+3), 6 Hits

40 internal space

8x thrusters: 16 space 16 power

8x fusion reactors: 8 space -32 power

6x armour: 12 space

1x anti-missile gatling: 2 space

1x scattering field: 2 space, -16 power

32 external space

4x anti-ship missile: 32 space
