Equipment

Equipment is what ships and stations use to improve combat capabilities, functionality and defence.

 

 

Equipment includes consumables, crew, engines, shields, software, thrusters, turrets and weapons.

 

 

• -Consumables are once off use wares launched by missiles and turrets or manually deployed at a point to perform a specific function.

 

 

• -Crew pilot, maintain and defend ships and stations or can be used to take over other ships and stations.

 

 

• -Engines determine the speed and acceleration of a ship.

 

 

• -Shields create an extra regenerating layer of defence against hull damage for both ships and stations.

 

 

• -Software adds extra functions and capabilities to a ship making piloting and ordering it around easier.

 

 

• -Thrusters determine how quickly a ship rotates around the axes.

 

 

• -Weapons are fired by the main battery of ships to deal damage to targets.

 

 

• -Turrets are used by ships and stations to autonomously fire at targets.
