Equipment

Everything fitted to a ship, inside or out. Mounts sit on the outside of the hull, each with its own field of fire. Modules sit inside and take room: every hull has a volume, in cubic metres. Each item has a Mark; all are Mk3 for now.

Mounts →

• Point defence turret

  A rotary gun that shoots down incoming small craft: 25 rounds a second, 1,250 m reach at Mk3, and it retracts into the hull when not needed.

• Fighter guns

  A fixed forward gun, M61 class: 20 rounds a second, a 500-round magazine reloaded from the carrier, and 1,250 m reach at Mk3.

• Hangar bay

  An opening in the hull side, 24 by 10 m, that fighters and scouts fly in and out of: launch 4 s, dock 6 s, rearm 20 s.
