|---|---|---|---|---|
| ARCHETYPE | BASE TONNAGE | BASE ACCEL. | BASE PAYLOAD | REMARKS |
| Pod | 5 tons | 2.0 g | 1 ton | One of the smallest craft in common use. Although its primary function is to serve as a life craft in the event that evacuation is required, it can also be used as a cramped form of passenger-transport. |
| Cockboat | 10 tons | 2.0 g | 1 ton | Lifeboat / "Lightboat". One of the smallest spacecraft in common use. Although its primary function is to serve as a life craft in the event that evacuation is required, it can also be used to transport passengers. |
| Fighter | 10 (20) tons | 6.0 g | 1 ton | Light Fighter (10 tons) / Standard Fighter (20 tons). Attack Boat. |
| Launch | 20 tons | 3.0 g | 10 tons | These vessel are normally carried on other ships. They are larger than cockboats and have the capacity to carry passengers and freight. They have a variety of designations including Launch, Gig, and Boat. |
| »» (Gig) | 20 tons | 7.0 g | 15 tons | (From T5-Beta example craft - based on Launch. See design process below.) |
| Boat | 30 tons | 5.0 g | 19 tons | Boats (or "Spaceboats") are larger than light-boats ("Cockboats") and have the capacity to carry passengers and freight. The name is generic and they have a variety of other designations based on specific function, including Launch, Gig, Landing Boat, Inspection/Revenue Boat, Security Boat, Shipsboat, etc.. Note: Shipsboat = Fastboat. |
| Pinnace | 40 tons | 4.0 g | 25 tons | Small craft or boat of long-range and interface capability. Pinnaces are often configured as Fuel Skimmers. The Pinnace is a larger version of the standard Spaceboat.
Note: Standard Pinnace:
|
| Cutter | 50 tons | 4.0 g | 31 tons | Cutters are considered the smallest vessel associated with independent military command. As such, cutter commanders are called "captain." Cutters are used in a variety of military and civilian settings. Although they can fill similar roles to those of the pinnace, they are more likely to be found as work boats and ferrying supplies and equipment around the system. |
| Lander | 60 tons | 1.0 g | 24 tons | Smallcraft employed primarily for interface operations and transporting personnel to world surfaces. |
| Shuttle | 70 tons | 4.0 g | 42 tons | Smallcraft employed primarily for transport of cargo or personnel between established points or locations, often on a fixed schedule. |
| Picket Boat | 80 tons | 6.0 g | 20 tons | Smallcraft employed primarily for military and paramilitary reconnaissance and observation. |
| Fueling Lighter /Tanker |
90 tons | 3.0 g | 62 tons | Smallcraft employed primarily for fuel transport and transfer. (Noted in T5-Beta Smallcraft list /no statistics given - Data based on Pinnace/Cutter template - See design process below.) |
