Expanded Template

A version of Max's excellent template with a number of additional and expanded data fields - care must be taken to delete superfluous data from the table or it'll thoroughly chew up the end result. If your ship doesn't have the described feature (perhaps no cargo ramp, or no ECM) then prune or delete the data until you're happy with the result. It may also be necessary to pluralise (or perhaps de-pluralise) data entries (1 dual plasma gun turret versus 10 dual plasma gun turrets, for example). Best advice, apply grammatical common sense and aim for "readable".

Some of the additional data is pure fluff. If it doesn't appeal, change it or get rid of it - the template is a structure to help frame your imagination, not a straightjacket for it. Bottom line, you've got to be happy with the end result.

Double square brackets [ [ and ] ] denote a link within the data, as normal.

A single square bracket [ and ] around data further serves to highlight areas where choices must be made and superfluous data must be deleted.

"XXXX" and similar denotes "fill in the appropriate name or number here".

Some sections (weapons and subcraft, particularly hangers) can be slightly confusing too, but with a bit of judicious cutting and pasting it should work. Things like hanger space have been added because their characteristics are relatively easy to extrapolate from designs, and these very specific areas of vessels are often the focus of intense player activity. Y'know, dodgy cargoes getting quarantined, boarding actions, conversion to other uses, trying to jam in extra vehicles, that sort of thing. I'm going to keep tinkering with the format until I've covered most bases (ie stuff like drop capsules and launch tubes are included).

Of course, this version of the template won't be to everyone's taste. But, if nothing else, hopefully it provides both inspiration and examples of how to implement additional layers of data onto a design. Some examples of its use are provided below.

|-
| 1.
| [[Ton|Tonnage]]
| The ''XXXX'' class is constructed using a XXX [[Ton]] [[hull]] built in a XXXX configuration. [The hull is unstreamlined and cannot operate in anything denser than [[Trace atmosphere]]s without risking catastrophic structural failure.]
[The hull is partially streamlined, giving a relatively limited atmospheric performance largely reliant on its onboard [[Gravity Control Technology|gravitic]] systems. It is equipped with fuel scoops.]
[The hull is fully streamlined, giving a good atmospheric performance assisted by its onboard [[Gravity Control Technology|gravitic]] systems. It is equipped with fuel scoops.]
* There are XX airlocks located around the vessel. The cargo hold is accessed by large doors and has a loading ramp.
* [[Droptanks]]: Examples of the class are fitted with [[Droptanks]] capable of supporting an additional jump XX.
|-
| 2.
| [[Crew]]
| XXX personnel. XX command, XX engineering, XX gunnery, XX service, XX medical, and XX stewards. There are XX Marines security personnel and XX flight crew.
* Staterooms: XX single double occupancy.
* Low berths: XX
** Accessible areas of the hull are fitted with grav plates and inertial compensators and have full life support and environmental systems. There are internal monitoring and security systems throughout the vessel: individual sections of the hull can be sealed off. There are multiple emergency lockers.
|-
| 3.
| [[Maneuver Drive|Performance]]
| The vessel mounts a Jump-X drive, a Maneuver-X drive, and a Power Plant-X, giving performance of Jump-X and X-G acceleration. The ship has an agility rating of X and an emergency agility of X. There is fuel tankage of XXX [[Ton]]s, sufficient for one two three consecutive Jump-X and giving the [[power plant]] XXX weeks duration.
* The engineering section has a main control room.
* The jump drive utilises a lanthanum hull grid.
* The jump drive creates a jump bubble around the vessel.
* The jump drive is fitted with a jump governor.
|-
| 4.
| [[Ship's Computer|Electronics]]
| Adjacent to the bridge is a computer model/XXX: no backup computer is installed. the vessel has a backup computer model/XXX.
* The vessel is fitted with communications equipment, a basic standard advanced sensor array, and has an avionics suite.
** It is fitted with backup commo and sensor systems.
* It has a transponder unit that can be deactivaed on command.
* It is equipped with a sophisticated ECM package.
|-
| 5.
| [[Ship's Hardpoint|Hardpoints]]
| XXX [[hardpoint]]s.
|-
| 6.
| [[Ship's Weapon|Armament]]
| The normal weapons fit-out for an ''XXXX'' class is:
* 1 Type X spinal [[particle accelerator]] [[meson gun]].
---
* XX 100-[[Ton]] [[bay]]s, mounting [weapon].
* XX 50-[[Ton]] [[bay]]s, mounting [weapon].
Note: Bay Weapons types
[[Meson Gun]]s
[[Particle Accelerator]]s
[[Repulsor]]s
[[Missile]]s
[[Plasma Gun]]s
[[Fusion Gun]]s
---
Format:
* [number] single dual triple [weapon and mount], typically grouped into XXX batteries of XX linked [mount].
1 mixed dual triple [[turret]] holding a [number] [weapon], a [number] [weapon] and a [number] [weapon].
---
Examples:
* 20 triple [[beam laser]] [[turret]]s, typically grouped into two batteries of 10 linked [[[turret]]s.
* 6 dual [[fusion gun]] [[turret]]s, typically grouped into three batteries of 2 linked [[[turret]]s.
1 mixed triple [[turret]] holding two [[missile]] racks and a [[sandcaster]].
---
Note: Turret Weapons and Mounts types
[[beam laser]] [[turret]]s
[[pulse laser] [[turret]]s
[[missile]] [[turret]]s
[[plasma gun]] [[turret]]s
[[fusion gun]] [[turret]]s
[[particle accelerator]] [[turret]]s [[barbette]]s
|-
| 7.
| [[Ship's Defense|Defenses]]
| The hull is unarmored.
| The hull is plated, structurally reinforced, and built with secure bulkheads and compartments that give it a High Guard armor rating of XX.
* The vessel is not fitted with screens or other passive defensive systems.
* The vessel is fitted with a nuclear damper unit.
* The vessel is fitted with a meson screen generator.
* The vessel is fitted with a black globe generator.
---
* [number] single dual triple [[sandcaster]] [[turret]]s, typically grouped into XXX batteries of XX linked [[turret]]s.
|-
| 8.
| [[Smallcraft|Craft]]
| The vessel carries no dedicated subcraft.
| The vessel carries an Xxxxx.
| The vessel carries an Xxxxx and a Qqqqqq.
* The Xxxxx is housed in a dedicated hanger:
** The hanger is a sealable compartment with a volume of XXX [[Ton]]s.
---
* The subcraft are housed in dedicated hangers:
** The Xxxxx hanger is a sealable compartment with a volume of XXX [[Ton]]s.
** The Qqqqqq hanger is a sealable compartment with a volume of XXX [[Ton]]s.
---
* The Xxxxx attaches to a dedicated docking point located on the hull.
---
* The subcraft attach to dedicated docking points located on the hull.
|-
| 9.
| [[Fuel Purification Plant|Fuel Treatment]]
| The vessel is not fitted with fuel purification equipment.
| The ''Xxxxx'' class is fitted with a fuel purification plant that can refine all onboard fuel in XX hours. It is operated and maintained by the engineering crew.
|-
| 10.
| [[Imperial Currency|Cost]]
| The basic cost of the vessel is MCrXXX.XXX
* Architects Fee: MCrXX.XXX
* The vessel and its subcraft are standard designs. Detailed architectural plans are widely available and no design fee is chargeable.
|-
| 11.
| [[Naval Architecture|Construction Time]]
| XXX weeks as standard. Build times can be reduced by mass production and the efficiencies such processes generate, by increased financing, and by allotting additional yard resources and facilities to the construction contract.
|-
| 12.
| Comments
| Standard cargo capacity amounts to XX [[Ton]]s. The cargo hold can be sealed and has independent life support and environmental systems.
