| − | * Almost all are designed to use lower technology repair components in most functionalities. For this reason, ship’s computers tend to be much larger and more voluminous than strictly function-based [[microelectronics]]. {{Unpublished cite|author= Maksim-Smelchak }}

| − | A ''Ship’s Computer'' also transmits control impulses for [[Maneuver Drive|maneuver]] and [[jump drive]]s, and conducts the routine operation of all [[ship]] systems. What the computer actually does is based on the [[program]]s actually installed and operating at any one time. {{Page cite|name= Starships|page=38|version=Classic Traveller}}

| − | ''Ship’s Computers'' within [[Charted Space]] are intentionally built to work under a number of different operating systems, different [[technology level]]s of [[computer]]s, and to be extensively toughened for use under hard [[vacuum]] and heavy exposure to cosmic radiation if necessary. {{Unpublished cite|author= Maksim-Smelchak }}
