STELLAR EMPIRES 2

SHIP CONSTRUCTION AND EQUIPPING

The following document details all the rules involved in creating your fleets for the Stellar Empires 2 Roleplaying game. There are two versions of this engine. The first is known creatively enough as the Simple Engine. This is where it is easy to create simple ships and squadrons. The prices will vary depending on many factors. The other half of the engine is the Complex half. That is for those who LIKE to make their own lives miserable with hard work to get their fleets done with far more detail than they could ever possibly need. But it is good for doing ships that are used by characters or other such heros. First up. The Simple Engine.

SHIP BUILDER SIMPLE

Building ships is easy. Pay someone else to do it.

SHIP BUILDER: SIMPLE

This is the simple rules for building your ships, and other important items, in the Stellar Empires Engine. The methods for building your ships is far easier than those who choose to use the complex system, but dont forget your calculator. This will be done in a manner similar to the Ground Forces rules. The first step is the easiest and all hulls have an associated cost. Some however are fixed-costs and set ships, these hulls will have this mentioned. You do not have any say as to how these craft are fitted. Note: You take the basic hull value and then add ALL modifiers together before applying them. (Eg: A Mauler *50000 RP* , Ship of the Line *x3* , Bleeding Edge Technology *x4* and Elite Crew *x4* gives a total X11 multiplier on the 50000 RP cost totalling 550000 RP.)

STEP 2: --- CHOOSE YOUR SHIP PURPOSE

Your ships will all have a purpose amongst your fleet. Otherwise how would you do with them what needed to be done? These are modifiers on top of the ships value. ESCORT PURPOSES (ESCORTS ONLY) Picket Ship (Cost x1) These vessels protect the extremities of a fleet with advanced sensors and warning systems. Lightly armed compared to most their job is to warn the others. Vanguard (Cost x2) Similar to the Picket ship instead their job in a fleet is to range ahead of it and find the enemy, minefields etc and engage them. Heavily armed for their size they are a reliable ship, but their defences suffer for this. Close Fleet Escort (Cost x2) These vessels are fitted with many lighter weapons designed for engaging other vessels in the same class as themselves, however they are reliant on the fleet for protection from anything larger. Patrol Ship (Cost x1) This is often seen as the normal escort ship, designed to operate on its own for extensive amounts of time, this version has a complete balance between all its systems. Scout/Explorer (Cost x3) Even more powerful sensors and engines than a picket ship or vanguard it is a long-ranged explorer not attached to a fleet. Its defences and weapons suffer for this but it is popular for an expendable vessel to explore without worry. CAPITAL SHIP PURPOSES (CAPITAL SHIPS ONLY) Fleet Ship (Cost x1) This is a basic ship of the line for its class. Well defended, decent guns, good engines and sensors. Good at all, master of none. Ship of the Line (Cost x3) This ship is built for engaging ships in its own class, its weaponry is significant and mostly tailored to handling vessels in its own weight class, this makes it poor for engaging anything much larger or smaller than it is. Directed Gunnery (Cost x3) This ship is built so that it can bring nearly all its weapons to bear on its forward arc. This makes it truly devastating for just about anything that can be found to put itself in that position. You dont want to do that. Hunter-Killer (Cost x4) Designed to operate in the lone-wolf fashion or in small groups the hunter-killer is a truly scary beast. Good firepower and engines mean that its enemies should it choose to have any will greatly regret their error. (Nothing above Fast Battleship may be a Hunter-Killer.) Bombarment Ship (Cost x3) The Bombardment ship sacrifices its sensors in exchange for better ones for choosing ground-based targets. Its weapons are designed and arranged to get maximum coverage for firing on a planetary surface and is typically always of the heaviest available weapons. But their defences are weaker and engines poorer than any other purpose. AEGIS Ship (Cost x4) This is a fleet defender, it has no other use, it has the most powerful sensors available and the most powerful point defence systems available. However it is vulnerable to anyone and anything else. Remind the crew not to sneeze. (No ship above Fast Battleship may be an AEGIS ship.)

STEP 3: --- EQUIPMENT QUALITY AND LEVEL

Equipment quality and level is a universal thing across all classes of ship. An object takes one week to build per 500 RP it costs. Equipment Quality and Level may effect this. (And in fact is likely to.) People with the Creaky Military flaw or the Shitty Workmanship flaw may not take any quality level above Obsolete. Last Centuries Scraps (Cost: .25): This equipment is so old that people will be wondering how the hell its flying, it is utter garbage. Very Obsolete (Cost: .5): This is some old, unreliable junker youre flying. I advise that you get a tetanus shot before getting on or off the ship. No I dont need to pee, I can hold it. Obsolete (Cost: x1): This is older technology but still useful on the battlefield, you wont be doing well against better made ships with better technology, but you wont be dropping like flies either. Current Gen Technology (Cost: x2) This is the average current technology available, itll hit hard, take its licks and keep on ticking. Reliable and well loved by its users. Next Gen Technology (Cost: x3) This is some highly advanced technology soon to be on your markets in a big way, it is well loved by its users but is known for niggling issues. Bleeding Edge Technology (Cost: x4) This is the best technology you could possibly fit your vessels with bar one, it has the best and most reliable weapons, shields and all manner of equipment. But it is also plagued by minor bugs and issues common to new developments. And they dont adhere to a friendly timetable of when you can afford it. (Increases Construction Time by 50%) Blatantly Experimental Tech (Cost: x5) This isnt technology, this is a technology demonstrator from a goddamned lab! Itll outperform anything you have. Right up until that new experimental component decides to break. Or worse, explode. (Doubles Construction Time)

STEP 4: --- CREW EXPERIENCE AND TRAINING

This is the level of training and experience the ships crew possesses and is trained to before deployment. This can mean the difference between life, death and a medical discharge because half your brain went missing in the Nubila Reach after that shrapnel dug it out like a spoon. People with Creaky Military may not take any experience level over Trained People with Hilariously Fail may not take any experience level over Green People with Cowardly may not take any experience level over Rookie Rookie (Cost .5) These are barely trained, who knows if they can even read! These guys will most likely die in droves. Dont get too attached to them. Green (Cost x1) These guys are new, blue and probably very frightened. They are not experienced and have only gone through basic training. Trained (Cost x2) These men have gone through rigorous training to get where theyre at and are well suited for the jobs theyre expected to perform. Veteran (Cost x3) These men have been trained well and have experience in the field and on the battlefield without remorse. They are hard men and jaded in experience. They do what they do well. Elite (Cost x4) There are some who it is said have seen too much war. That its presence is marked upon their flesh and souls equally. The Elite can only tell you that those who say it have some inkling of the truth. Elite of the Elite (Cost x5) These men only know war. Whether raised to it or forced into it by circumstances unknowable, these men are the most hard-bitten men of all and few come away unscathed. People get severely uncomfortable around them, but if someone needs killing it is these men who will do it without hesitation.

STEP 5: --- CARRIERS

Carriers are a mainstay of some nations fleet. But not all carriers are equal. NOTE: Those with the Hangerize trait have 3 Squadron spaces on EVERY ship per 1000 points (basic hull cost, before modifiers). Minimum of 3 Spaces (Eg: A Cutter would have 3 spaces, a Mauler would have 150) Below is the number of spaces available to the Carriers. Escort Carrier: Pocket Carrier: Light Carrier: Fast Carrier: Medium Carrier: Heavy Carrier: Supercarrier: 12 Squadrons 16 Squadrons 200 Squadrons 100 Squadrons 400 Squadrons 800 Squadrons 1200 Squadrons (Nothing over Medium) (Nothing over Medium) (Nothing over Medium) (Nothing over Heavy) (Nothing under Medium) (Nothing under Medium)

Craft Experience Levels. Rookie: (Cost x1) These are poor quality pilots and hangar crew. Dont rely on them. Green: (Cost x2) These men know how to fly and wont die.. instantly. Trained: (Cost x3) These men are fresh out of advanced flight school. Reliable. Veteran: (Cost x4) These men are hard men with field experience. Aces: (Cost x5) These men are aces of combat. Multiple Aces: (Cost x6) These men are condescending bastards who thing theyre gods gift to strike craft. Pity that theyre right.

SHIP BUILDER COMPLEX

Wait wait, you want how many particle beams? Dear lord man... that is not nearly enough. Here, try this.

SHIP CONSTRUCTION ----COMPLEX VERSION

This is the complex construction rules for manufacturing your ships and craft! Do not expect simplicity. Do not expect cheap. Do not expect to leave with your head even close to intact!!!! Note, these rules are not interchangeable, a ship is either made via the Complex rules or the Simple rules. These rules are intended for those that like Complex, or wish to design important character shielded ships. In most cases ships designed by these rules will be both more expensive and capable than those done by simple rules. But 1000 RP of Complex ships is only as good as 1000 RP in Simple ships in most cases. In any case. There will be several elements to these rules. 1: Strike Craft Construction Rules. These will be used for designing your strike craft! (Or you can use the simple Strike Craft figures.) 2: Escort Construction Rules. These will be used to design your escort ships. 3: Capital Construction Rules. These will be used to design and build your Capital Ships. 4: Carrier Construction Rules. These will be used to design your carriers. 5: Strike Craft Reference Tables. 6: Ship Reference Tables. The above two items will have listed ALL the weapon types that can be used in a general fashion. Against my original inclination there wont be a lot of detail. There will be things like Light, Medium, Heavy Beams, what type wont be mentioned leaving the player room to make it their own but trait given weapons override these with the traits weapon. 7: Trait specific Reference Tables. This table will list only trait items and the nation/trait required. (And what they replace.) The last part of this document will detail the Nation special ships only.

STRIKE CRAFT CONSTRUCTION RULES

ESCORT CONSTRUCTION RULES

Construction of actual ships is considerably more difficult than Strike Craft or the simple system. You have to account for every piece of critical equipment, weapon and special piece of gear! Every escort has the following characteristics. Class Name Crew Primary Weapons Secondary Weapons Point Defence Weapons Sensors Engine Levels Crew Quality Ship Quality Tech Level Specials Total Cost

Unlike the simple creator there is only one modifier, the Tech Level, ship quality and crew quality are purchased upgrades that cost a certain percentage of the hull depending on the level chosen. Escorts cannot be outfitted as Carriers under any circumstances. The first step is to pick the hull. The tech level modifier is applied AFTER all parts have been purchased.

Primary Weapon spaces fit weapons from the Primary Weapons table. The Secondary Weapons are for the lesser weapons on a ship, less powerful but higher tracking. The point defence dictates the defensive weapons designed for shooting down missiles, torpedoes and bombers. Crew says how many standard crew there might be, if your ships are more automated or crewed by stronger beings the crew wont be as high, if filled with weaklings the number might be higher. The Cost is the cost of the hull in Industrial Points. The percentage of weapons cannot be changed.

It fires a lot of shots all at once to Barrage Gun Kinetic 1 RP 2 try and blanket an area of space in fire. A beam weapon. Sustained damage and high Beamer Energy 1 RP 1 accuracy, but lower power than others. This weapon does more damage than the Beamer and Pulser Energy 2 RP 1 has a high rate of fire, but lower accuracy. This is the shotgun of the energy weapon world. It is Wave Gun Energy 1 RP powerful up close, but though its accuracy is good at 2 range its power suffers greatly. This is a missile launcher and typically contains Medium Missile 2 RP enough ammunition to launch 20 missiles before 5 Launcher Weapon requiring resupply. Unguided Rockets fired in massive salvoes, they have Rocket Missile 1 RP great power but very poor accuracy, though a single 5 Launcher Weapon launcher typically carries about 100 rockets. Torpedo Missile Fires heavy Torpedoes, but a single launcher can only 5 RP 10 Launcher Weapon have five before the ship needs to resupply. Secondary Weapons This is a kinetic cannon.

Torpedo Fires heavy Torpedoes, but a single launcher can only Missile 5 RP 10 Launcher have five before the ship needs to resupply. Point Defence The CIWS, or close in weapons system, is a fastCIWS Kinetic 1 RP 1 tracking high rate of fire kinetic weapon. More accurate than the CIWS and sustained firing Laserlight Energy 2 RP 3 makes this a weapon of choice. Hammerhand Missile 5 RP Missile point defense, highly accurate, but expensive. 3 Note that where applicable trait-specific weapons replace the items above, this will be noted in the trait descriptions themselves along with any changes to the stats. Also note that there are only a handful of types, Kinetic, Energy and Missile Weapon, certain exotic weapons will replace normal weapons if you have the trait. These represent basic everyday weapons. A player is free to come up with a reasonable technology that fits the description. But they may not resemble trait-weapons.

Now that weapons have been purchased you move onto other essential components. These include engine upgrades, sensors, crew quality, ship quality and tech level. These are all important. (And required.) It should also be noted that these are relevant to the ship in question. The High Power Engine on a Heavy Frigate is NOT as good as a High Power on a Fast Frigate for example. (Note: This table is shared by all ships) Part Name Cost Description NOTE: All parts cost a percentage of the hull cost. If the cost is 10%, and the hull cost is 100 RP then the cost is 10 RP. Be aware that some parts can be as much as double the hull cost! Engines Standard 0% This is the basic drive that comes with your ship no matter what. This is a higher powered drive. It is reliable and provides higher speed but weakens High Power 25% the ships ability to manoeuvre Advanced This drive is just as powerful as the high power drive but doesnt hinder its 50% Drive manoeuvring ability. Sensors Basic These are your basic sensor equipment, used to find anyone and anything. Their 0% Sensors ability to find cloaked craft is inadequate and too short ranged however. Active These sensors are more powerful with a more significant range. Their cost is 50% Sensors considered to be prohibitive for some, but acceptable for others. Ultimo These expensive bastards are considered to be the second best sensors available to 100% Sensors a craft. Doubling its sensor range and resolution few can deny the power of them. High powered point defence sensors, they have the same resolution as the Ultimo AEGIS 200% but with enhanced fire control to the point defence weapons. (Best value in high PD Sensors ships) Crew Quality New blood, dont trust them to go to the toilet without someone to guide their aim. Rookie 0% These men are not to be relied upon. These men have little training and experience, they can do their jobs, but are likely Green 25% to panic. Dont use them on high value ships. Trained to do their jobs properly they are capable enough. But they lack valuable Trained 50% experience that could lead to their untimely demise. Well trained with some experience. They can be trusted, most ships will be crewed Experienced 100% by these men. Well, if the budget permits. Hard men tried in battle, already having weeded out the weak these are the strong, Veteran 200% luck and smart ones who are left. The best of the best, these men are hard and well experienced. They are those you Elite 400% trust for the missions that need the best. You cant afford anything less. Ship Quality These vessels are barely held together monuments to the scrap gods, and by those Poor 0% gods do they look all too ready for the part. Say a prayer before you undock. These vessels are those normally fielded by most, fresh off the show-room floor of Standard 100% your bog standard factory These are well made vessels fresh out of a workmans proud hands. Built to excellent High Quality 200% specifications these vessels are more reliable than their cheaper cousins. These are the best-made vessels your resources can buy. Made to the best Best Quality 300% specifications with the best materials itll take punishment no other of its class can. Tech Level Normal None This ship is built with the normal technology used by your nation. X2 This ship is built with more advanced technology than most possess. Tech 2 Modifier X3 This ship is built with the best available technology you possess. Tech 3 Modifier This ship is built with, well, frankly experimental technology. Its powerful, but X5 Tech 4 remember that everything is experimental, dont be surprised if it blows up in your Modifier faces. At the worst time possible. Specials: Many ships have unique technologies, for every tech level higher than normal the player may, if approved, include a special piece of equipment, each special costs the same as the hull does. (Eg: A Light Cutter with Tech 3 could take 2 specials for a total of 200 RP for the specials.) This is added after the modifier is done so that they do not effect it.

CAPITAL SHIP CONSTRUCTION RULES

Construction of actual ships is considerably more difficult than Strike Craft or the simple system. You have to account for every piece of critical equipment, weapon and special piece of gear! Every Capital Ship has the following characteristics. Class Name Crew Capital Weapons Primary Weapons Secondary Weapons Point Defence Weapons Sensors Engine Levels Crew Quality Ship Quality Tech Level Specials Total Cost

Unlike the simple creator there is only one modifier, the Tech Level, ship quality and crew quality are purchased upgrades that cost a certain percentage of the hull depending on the level chosen.

Weapon Name Weapon Type Kinetic Kinetic Kinetic Energy Energy Energy Missile Missile Missile Kinetic Kinetic Kinetic Energy Energy Energy Missile Missile Missile Cost Description Capital Weapons This is a heavier version of the kinetic cannon. Hits hard, harder and hardest. Dont blink or youll die. This is a Capital version of the Kinetic Assault Gun, dont get in front of it. This is the biggest Barrager. You dont want to be anywhere near it when it fires. Ever. The Capital Beamer is a ship-killer if you stay where it can find you. The Heavy Pulsar is a heavier version of the Pulsar. Its fire rate is identical, but it hits harder. Much. An upgraded Wave Gun its effects are even shorter ranged. But it hits noticeably harder. The Heavy Launcher launches much larger missiles with bigger warheads, but theyre slower. Heavy Rockets are slower, just as unguided, but their warheads kick like a mule. These Torpedoes make the Primary torpedo launcher look like pop-guns. Primary Weapons This is a kinetic cannon. It projects a heavy shell into the void at the target. This is a more rapid fire kinetic cannon, it does its damage by smaller, but more numerous, shots. The space-shotgun. It fires a lot of shots all at once to try and blanket an area of space in fire. A beam weapon. Sustained damage and high accuracy, but lower power than others. This weapon does more damage than the Beamer and has a high rate of fire, but lower accuracy. This is the shotgun of the energy weapon world. It is powerful up close, but though its accuracy is good at range its power suffers greatly. This is a missile launcher and typically contains enough ammunition to launch 20 missiles before requiring resupply. Unguided Rockets fired in massive salvoes, they have great power but very poor accuracy, though a single launcher typically carries about 100 rockets. Fires heavy Torpedoes, but a single launcher can only have five before the ship needs to resupply. Spaces Required 1 1 2 1 1 2 10 10 20 1 1 2 1 1 2 5 5 10

Point Defence The CIWS, or close in weapons system, is a fasttracking high rate of fire kinetic weapon. More accurate than the CIWS and sustained firing makes this a weapon of choice. Missile point defense, highly accurate, but expensive.

On the next page are detailed all the carrier relevant parts and equipment. If you have not chosen a carrier or do not have Hangerise feel free to skip the next page.

Carrier Part Name NOTE:

Spaces Required Nations with Hangerise may pay for Hangar Spaces using Capital spaces. In those cases the number of spaces required represent a percentage of Capital spaces. Eg: A Light Hangar (1 Space) would require 1 percent of a ships Capital Spaces, rounding up. This is for balance reasons. Carrier Parts Cost Description 4 RP 8 RP 12 RP 16 RP 2 RP 5 RP 10 RP 20 RP This gives room for one squadron of Light Strike Craft This gives room for one squadron of Medium Strike Craft This gives room for one squadron of Heavy Strike Craft This gives room for one squadron of Super-Heavy Strike Craft Crew and Briefing. This gives a squadron more comfortable quarters for their needs. This item leads to faster deployment. This allows command to adequately brief their people on what needs doing. Dont forget it. (Can handle 4 Squadrons) This is a larger Briefing room allowing for more squadrons to be deployed in short order. (Can handle 80 Squadrons) This is the largest briefing room capable of handling truly staggering amounts of strike craft. (Can handle 400 Squadrons) Launching Methods These tubes are narrow and can only handle small amounts of traffic. (Can launch 10 Squadrons) These launchers rack the fighters up and drop them from the ship one after another. (Can launch 50 squadons) These external launchers are limited by the speed that craft can be delivered to them. (Can launch 100 squadrons) Running the length of the ship the Hangars are build into the sides of this arrangement. (Can launch 250 Squadrons) Pilot Quality New blood, dont trust them to go to the toilet without someone to guide their aim. These men are not to be relied upon. These men have little training and experience, they can do their jobs, but are likely to panic. Dont use them on high value ships. Trained to do their jobs properly they are capable enough. But they lack valuable experience that could lead to their untimely demise. Well trained with some experience. They can be trusted, most ships will be crewed by these men. Well, if the budget permits. Hard men tried in battle, already having weeded out the weak these are the strong, luck and smart ones who are left. The best of the best, these men are hard and well experienced. They are those you trust for the missions that need the best. You cant afford anything less. 1 Space 2 Spaces 4 Spaces 6 Spaces 1 Space 4 Spaces 14 Spaces 40 Spaces

Now that weapons have been purchased you move onto other essential components. These include engine upgrades, sensors, crew quality, ship quality and tech level. These are all important. (And required.) It should also be noted that these are relevant to the ship in question. The High Power Engine on a Heavy Frigate is NOT as good as a High Power on a Fast Frigate for example. (Note: This table is shared by all ships) Part Name NOTE: Cost Description All parts cost a percentage of the hull cost. If the cost is 10%, and the hull cost is 100 RP then the cost is 10 RP. Be aware that some parts can be as much as double the hull cost! Engines Standard 0% This is the basic drive that comes with your ship no matter what. This is a higher powered drive.

Tech Level Normal None This ship is built with the normal technology used by your nation. X4 This ship is built with more advanced technology than most possess. Tech 2 Modifier X6 This ship is built with the best available technology you possess. Tech 3 Modifier This ship is built with, well, frankly experimental technology. Its powerful, but X8 Tech 4 remember that everything is experimental, dont be surprised if it blows up in your Modifier faces. At the worst time possible. Specials: Many ships have unique technologies, for every tech level higher than normal the player may, if approved, include a special piece of equipment, each special costs the same as the hull does. (Eg: A Light Cutter with Tech 3 could take 2 specials for a total of 200 RP for the specials.) This is added after the modifier is done so that they do not effect it.

Weapon Name Weapon Type Cost Description Biowar Weapons Spores that change the biosphere of a world for the worst, increased chances of Cancers, increases in flesh-eating viruses and all manner of other horrors. Mutagens to increase the number of aggressive DNA markers in native life. This is a strange trait, it doesnt actually collapse the gene-pool, none of its alterations should result in extinction, however it does mean the most undesirable genetic markers become pre-dominant. Radiation Weapons The Broad Wavefront Projector fires a concentrated burst of radiation in, as its name might suggest, a broad wavefront, this weapon cannot miss its target but it does little damage. A radiation weapon similar to the X-Ray Laser but much broader in its effect, however it doesnt bypass the hull or armour and due to this shields and armour must BOTH be compromised before this weapon can do damage. A planetary bombardment weapon used by Despoilers when such measures must be taken. A projector that soaks the groundside target in gamma radiation. Everything underneath its soak dies. Primary Weapons A laser that ignores armour and hulls to kill anything organic about the target. However it cannot pierce shields. Period.

Weapon Name Weapon Type Cost Description Capital Weapons A weapon of prodigious firepower. It is mounted from aft to prow and its blast can level a city in a single shot. Or blast a battleship in half. (This can only be equipped on the Wrath class vessel.) The Divine Judgement is a heavy weapon, its golden bolt can level a city with a single salvo of blasts and its sounds remind one of the judgement being pronounced upon them by the high priests of their enemies. And so it is. Primary Weapons The Storm of God is a Thunder of God series weapon with a high rate of fire and excellent tracking capabilities. Even a capital ship has reason to be concerned facing these. Secondary Weapons A medium weapon, this destructive bolt is slow firing like the finger but accurate and powerful. The Wrath of God is a weapon similar to the Thunder of God but Shotguns space with a devastating volley of fire. The Golden bolts of light driving the fear of judgement into the enemies of God.
