The Target Program is designed to allow accurate fire with shipboard weapons. [1]
- This is a program, a kind of computer software.
- It is designed to be used with a Ship’s Computer, although it could be used with other kinds of computers as well.
- This is a core ship’s computer program and is required in order to use a variety of other computer programs that interact with it.
Description (Specifications)
Offensive programs are intended to allow the use of weapons mounted on a ship to damage or destroy enemy vessels.
- Target identifies enemy vessels and and controls all turrets on board ship.
- It is required for all laser fire and launches except anti-missile fire.

History & Background (Dossier)
Software within Charted Space is intentionally built to work under a number of different operating systems, different technology levels of computers, and to be extensively toughened for hard use under vacuum if necessary. [4]
The Software List: The computer software list, available at nearly any software vendor or port, indicates the various programs that are available. It shows space required by a specific program in CPU or storage, its price in MCr, and its title. Also shown is a brief overview of its effects. [5]
Software Authorship: Various requirements exist for individual characters producing existng or new programs. Such a course can save money, but may have some pitfalls. Program generation is explained elsewhere. [6]
