The Select Program is designed to allow specific, targeted weapon fire, albeit with some drawbacks. [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.
Description (Specifications)[edit]
Offensive programs are intended to allow the use of weapons mounted on a ship to damage or destroy enemy vessels.
- Select allows a gunner to attempt to choose the part of the target ship he hits. Select-1 and Select-2 increases accuracy against several targets within a designated area, but decreases overall accuracy against the probability of hitting a single target. [2]
- However, they allow a gunner a one-third chance of hitting the exact area of the target he chooses, if the weapon does hit.
Selected Computer Programs[edit]
Offensive Programs:
- Advanced Fire Control Program [3]
- Double Fire Program [4]
- Fire Control Program [5]
- Gunner Program [4]
- Launch Program [4]
- Launch Solution Program [6]
- Multi-target Program [4]
- Predict Program [4]
- Select Program [4]
- Target Program [4]
- Virtual Gunner Program [6]
History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
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. [8]
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. [9]
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. [10]
