Ship Designs

These ships are examples of those used in the games settings.

RAPTOR CLASS SECURITY VESSEL
This vessel is intended for use in groups of two or three to protect cargo convoys. It is also popular as a defense ship for prosperous asteroids and stations. The Raptor Class is equivalent to a destroyer in the NC navy, or perhaps a very light Kentauran Cruiser. (Weapons will be added) Manufacturer: Incondat Naval Works

Dimensions:
Length 40m
Width 20m
Depth 20m
Total Dimensions 80m
Hull Cost: 48,000

Armor Plating
Nose: 20
Top: 15
Bottom: 15
Left Side: 15
Right Side: 15
Engine: 10
Total Armor Points: 90
Cost: (80*90) * 5 = 36,000

Superconductive Plating
Nose: 5
Top: 2
Bottom: 2
Left Side: 2
Right Side: 2
Engine: 4 Total Superconductive Plating Points: 17
Total Cost: (80 * 17) * 15 = 20,400

The Alderson Drive
Cost = (80 + 90) * 200 = 34,000

Fusion Drive
Maneuverability 4
Max Acceleration 3
Cost: (3 * 4) * (80 + 90) * 20 = 40,800
This is an average acceleration, but a great maneuverability. The security vessels are usually used as escorts and as defensive ships so they don't often pursue. The maneuverability makes them able to accelerate quickly in any direction during a fight. This makes these ships very hard to hit from longer ranges where the lightspeed gap becomes a factor.
