Ships & Weapons Proposals

100thlurker:
Artillery
Artillery Cruiser (Jardin & Imperial & League): 1 Armor, Spinal Cannon, 1 Lasers, 4 Shields, 2ECM, 3AA, 6 HP, 1 Speed (Init 1)
Flying Artillery: 2 Armor, Spinal Cannon (20 Damage), 1 Lasers, 3 Shields, 2ECM, 3AA, 4 HP, 4 Speed (Init 2)
Ships
Jardin Dragon 1 Armor, 4 Lasers, 2 Antimatter Cannon, 3 Shield, 2ECM, 2AA, 6HP, 4 speed (Init: 3)
League Carronade Frigate 2 Armor, 5 Antimatter Cannon, 8 Shields, 2ECM, 2AA, 12 HP, 4 Speed (Init: 2)

Heavy Cavalry: 8 Armor, 5 Lasers, 8 Lances, 6 Shields, 3ECM, 2AA, 14HP, 4 Speed (Init 2)
Amendment to Lances:

Lances: High power lasers that have range 0-2, murderously effective in destroying armor, however base-to-hit is 8. Each unit of speed a ship moves in a turn brings the target number to hit down by one. Approved

Making a spaceship!

While building a spaceship, there are two stats that must be tracked; Space and Cost. Cost (represented with the $ symbol) is simply the Ducat price-equivalent; how much labour, resources and whatnot is required to build one. Space is a holistic measure of volume and tonnage, representing how big a ship is; Space is added up and determines what size class a ship is and consequently how expensive its engines and its ECM suite are.

Component List

Components that require 1 Space.

1 Lance ($2)

2 Hits ($2)

Components that require 2 Space.

1 Laser ($4)

1 Missile [3 reloads] ($4)

1 Antimatter Cannon ($4)

1 Shield ($6)

1 Anti-Air ($10)

Components that require 3 Space.

1 Missile [8 reloads] ($5)

1 Armor ($1)

1 ER Laser ($6)

Components that require 4 Space.

+1 Command System ($8)

1 Fort Cannon ($6)

Components that require 20 Space.

Spinal Cannon ($40)

Examples:

Destroyer; size 13

Heavy Cruiser; size 45

Battleship; size 92

Fast Battleship; size 82

To determine Space multiplier, divide the ship's Space by 10 (keeping all fractions) and then square it. Thus a Battleship would have a Space multiplier of 9.2 x 9.2 = 84.64.

ECM costs $2 x multiplier per +1

• Note: These assume all speeds boosted by 1 to bring dreadnoughts to 1 hex/turn and laser range increased.

Engines with speed 1 [dreadnought speed] cost 0.25 x multiplier

Engines with speed 2 [battleship speed] cost 0.5 x multiplier

Engines with speed 3 [slow cruiser speed] cost 1.25 x multiplier

Engines with speed 4 [fast cruiser speed] cost 2.5 x multiplier

Engines with speed 5 [slow escort speed] cost 4 x multiplier

Engines with speed 6 [fast escort speed] cost 6 x multiplier

Heirlooms

These are things you can plug into your ship - presumably via some sort of baroque contraption - that provide performance bonuses.

• Oscillation Overthruster: +1 Speed
• Epitaph: +3 Laser range, +2 AMG range, +1 Lance range, -1 Kira
• Mimetic Polyalloy: 1 armor regeneration/turn
• Dilitium Chrystals: 5 shield regeneration/turn
• Flux Capacitor: Roll 1D10 for every point of damage taken to shields; on a 1-2 the damage is ignored. Does not apply to damage taken to armor or hull.
• Zohar: Once per battle, may go on to all special orders at one time.
• Song of Nephilim: Once per battle, may reduce all sign ranges to 1D5 hexes (applies equally to all ships, friendly and enemy) until the next action of the host ship.
• Jedi Holocron: +1 Command
