Ships and Modules

Class 1

The Turtle Runabout

The TR-99a Turtle Runabout is one of the most ubiquitous small craft in UNCA territory. Its small size and ease of use make it an ideal first craft for pilots. These strengths however, are also the Turtle's major weaknesses. The craft is too small to be useful in hauling freight, and does not have the maneuverability of more modern and advanced vessels. As an initial investment for fledgling pilots however, the Turtle is unmatched in its simplicity.

Ship specifications:

• Class: 1
• Cost: Approximately 10,000 credits
• Maximum Cargo Capacity: 10
• Passengers: 3
• Ship Type: Runabout
• Shipyard Availability: Common
• Carrier Compatible

The Hornet Ultralight Fighter

With high maneuverability and speed, the LT-119 Mk-2 Hornet Ultralight Fighter is an ideal craft for short-range sorties and pirate hunting assignments. Its small size belies a vessel of formidable power and versatility. With enough room to sport Class 1 weapons and armor, the Hornet can easily hold its own against other craft of its class and size. The Hornet does not have the space for heavier weapons and armor, and when fully equipped, has little room for cargo or passengers. In combat though, this small ship lives up to its name.

Ship specifications:

• Class: 1
• Cost: ~10,000
• Maximum Cargo Capacity: 10
• Passengers: 3
• Ship Type: Ultralight Fighter
• Shipyard Availability: Common
• Carrier Compatible

The Hawk Ultralight Fighter

Often sought-after, but seldom acquired, the GCT-001 Hawk Ultralight Fighter was originally built as a high-speed interceptor to escort other fighter craft in combat. While it cannot hold firepower equal to that of larger fighters such as the Sparrow the Unicorn, the Hawk nevertheless possesses high maneuverability and the unique ability to attach itself to the hull of a larger vessel. While its popularity initially rivaled that of the Hornet. Its chassis is somewhat more difficult to manufacture than the Hornet or the Sparrow, making it a more expensive, and less available craft, manufactured by private concerns rather than the UNCA shipyards. The Hawk was given to those player that participated in the Kickstarter 2014 Campaign and can be purchased through Steam Downloaded Content (DLC).

Ship specifications:

• Class: 1
• Cost: Steam DLC ($25.00) GM(~25,000,000,000)
• Maximum Cargo Capacity: 10
• Passengers: 4
• Ship Type: Ultralight Fighter
• Shipyard Availability: None
• Carrier Compatible
• Can attach itself to any ship

Core Modules

These modules are needed to fly a ship. Computers, Electronics, Gravity Generators, Propulsion, and Warp Drives all need to be the same class as the ship.

Optional Modules or Upgrades

Lights can only be made by players who were playing before Christmas 2014. The bp was a gift from Jam.

Weapons Modules

Class 2

The Sparrow Light Fighter

One of the original fighters designed and manufactured for the UNCA, the GCT-4a Sparrow Light Fighter rapidly became the vanguard of many corporate and government fighter wings. Capable of carrying Class 2 weapons and armor, but with only a minor loss in maneuverability, the Sparrow is often used for pirate hunting and bomber support. With excellent maneuverability and speed, the Sparrow outperforms the larger Unicorn in every area except for firepower and armor, and remains a less expensive alternative to the larger fighter.

Ship specifications:

• Class: 2
• Cost: ~25,000
• Maximum Cargo Capacity: 20
• Passengers: 3
• Ship Type: Light Fighter
• Shipyard Availability: Common
• Carrier Compatible

Class 3

The Unicorn Heavy Fighter

Named for a creature of legend, the GCT-29 Unicorn Heavy Fighter is a powerful vessel, capable of carrying 40 tons and five passengers. Its trefoil engine-wing design allows for great maneuverability despite its larger size and weight. Originally intended as a lighter vessel, the Unicorn failed to deliver the high maneuverability of smaller ships. When equipped with a heavier chassis and more powerful engines however, the Unicorn proved itself time and time again, becoming a heavily sought-after light ship.

Ship specifications:

• Class: 3
• Cost: ~90,000
• Maximum Cargo Capacity: 40
• Passengers: 5
• Ship Type: Heavy Fighter
• Shipyard Availability: Common
• Carrier Compatible

Weapons Modules

Class 4

The Manta Bomber; Almost double the weight of the GCT-29 Unicorn, the MRX-801 Manta is capable of carrying twice the firepower. Built from a heavily modified Turtle chassis, but later completely redesigned, the Manta is capable of carrying eighty tons of cargo and seven passengers. Its larger size and greater power requires the use of advanced Class 4 equipment, and with greater power comes higher cost. Despite its six-digit price tag, the Manta continues to find popularity among pilots who seek smaller, yet still powerful vessels. It also has reverse thrusters which makes it a favorite for colony and OSB planning for many.

Ship specifications:

• Class: 4
• Cost: ~250,000
• Maximum Cargo Capacity: 80
• Passengers: 7
• Ship Type: Bomber
• Shipyard Availability: Common
• Carrier Compatible
