BCS Ship Mission Modifiers (T5/AotI)[edit]

BCS Naval Ship Classification /Modifiers
Code Mission Modifier Grouping Description § Remarks
A Armored Combat A ship which normally does not have Armor is provided Armor. AotI (Usually applies to Auxiliaries)
B Beam Combat The primary weaponry is beam weapons. AotI Typical for Capital Line Combatants
C, F Command/Flag Operation The ship is equipped for command and control of other ships. The squadron commander (Admiral or Commodore) commands from a Flag-designated ship. AotI
D Monitor Combat The ship, while movable, is intended to operate in a fixed location. Typically restricted to one system, and so does not require (or does not have) jump drives. AotI D = Defensive/Defender /N = Monitor /DN = Defense Monitor.
E, L Escort/Light Size The ship is of lesser tonnage, with lighter armament and/or armor, or is primarily intended to defend a more substantive vessel from attacks, or to defend non-military vessels. T5
F Fast Performance The ship has drives that provide acceleration greater than typical within the fleet. AotI
K Strike Combat The ship is designed to attack world or immobile targets. AotI
L Lander Operation The craft carries troops, vehicles, and equipment to a world surface for battle. An Assault Lander delivers directly to the battlefield. AotI
M Missile Combat The primary weaponry is missiles or torpedoes. AotI
O Orbital Operation The ship is designed to operate from orbit. AotI (Typically applies to siege engines) - Ortillery Vessels, et al.
R Rider Operation The ship is designed to be carried by (to ride) a Carrier. The design typically omits jump drive and associated fuel. AotI
S Slow Performance The ship has drives that provide acceleration less than typical within the fleet. AotI
F Fighter Combat The small craft (less than 100 tons) equivalent of a Rider. AotI (Not used for Capital Vessels)
Q Quarantine Operation The ship is dedicated to the Quarantine mission. AotI (Obsolete)
