These shuttles had a tapered body, with a bubble canopy near the front on top. On the sides near the rear are a pair of retractable wings that aid in atmospheric maneuvering. There were small hatches on each side midway, a top mounted hatch, which acted as an airlock and docking port for when docking to other ships, and a larger door at the rear between the impulse engines for quicker access while on a planet's surface. Inside, the pilot sat up front in the canopy with a swivel seat, with two seats behind the pilot, and two upholstered benches which can double as bunks, for 4 more passengers. Under the benches are storage compartments, usually for tools and a few personal items, along with some survival gear.The shuttlepod carried fairly basic sensors to allow for basic scans of a planet, although more powerful specialty sensors could be fitted for specific missions. The pod had a ditanium hull with polarized hull plating and two light plasma cannons, which were really modified heavy infantry plasma weapons, and targeting systems. The shuttlepods can be modified to launch spatial charges like missiles, with up to 6 can be carried.Starfleet considers these craft to be VERY outdated and don't produce them themselves, although the plans have been traded to some developing allies as an armed shuttle, and never sold to civilians due to their armed nature.Shuttlepod (PL6)Type: UltralightSubtype: Shuttle (orbital)Size: Huge (-2)Tactical Speed: 3500 ftDefense: 8Flat-Footed Defense: Autopilot Defense: 9Hardness: 15Hit Dice: 3d20 (60 HP)Initiative Modifier: Pilot's Class Bonus: Pilot's Dex Modifier: Gunner's Attack Bonus: Length: Weight: Targeting System Bonus: +1Crew: 1Passenger Capacity: 6Cargo Capacity: 1000 lbsGrapple Modifier: Base PDC: 48Restriction: Mil +3Attack: 2 fire linked plasma weapons -1 ranged 7d10, 20, fire, 3000 ft.Attack of Opportunity: Standard PL(6) Design Spec: Agile Ships (+1 Dodge), Easy to Repair (Repair DC -4, -25% time), Swiss Army TechEngines: thrusters, ion engineArmour: DitaniumDefense Systems: autopilot, polarized hull platingSensors: Class I, targeting systemsCommunications: Radio transceiverWeapons: 2 plasma weaponsGrappling Systems: noneNew Starship EquipmentDitanium Alloy (PL5-6)Ditanium alloy is an alloy that was used to replace titanium in the use in military craft and especially space craft as it had some inherent abilities to block some of the radiation encountered in space.Hardness: 15Base Purchase Modifier: 13 + one-half base purchase DC of the starship.Polarized Hull Plating Defensive SystemAn early defensive system developed for Starfleet in the mid 2100s, before deflector shield technology, a ship would be fitted with hull plating relays that would polarize the hull, strengthening the hull and making it more resistant to damage. It also has the advantage of making the ship more difficult to lock onto with most grappling systems. Activating Polarized Hull Plating takes a standard action, granting +5 to the ships hardness, and as long as the system has power (50% chance of this power not being interrupted) and active before the ship reaches 0 hit points, increases the ship's destruction threshold by 50%, and the ship only loses 1 hit point every 2 rounds. Most ships will have a separate power supply just for this system. Unfortunately a ship can not run this system indefinitely, and can only remain running for a maximum of 30 minutes before requiring at least 10 minutes of being inactive. PDC: 5 + one half base PDC of starship.Spatial Charge MissileSpatial charge missiles are explosives that fired into subspace to improve their explosive potential, and the precursor to photonic torpedoes, photon and eventually quantum torpedoes used by Starfleet currently. These missiles had variable yields, allowing for more controlled attacks, allowing the firer to lower the damage to disable, or to increase the area damaged, half the damage is fire and the other half is unspecific energy. At its lowest setting, the missile can do 3d8 to a single target, or deal this damage to a 500 ft square (on a planet 500 ft radius maximum), and can increase damage by 1 die up to a maximum of 8d8, but reduce the maximum radius by 100 ft per die increase. The damage can be to the maximum radius, or to a single target, in which case to a single target the weapon gains ignore hardness/damage +1/die over 3. So if damage is set to 4d8 and affects only a single target gains ignore hardness/Dr 2Damage: variesDamage Type: Fire/EnergyRange Increment: -Rate of Fire: SingleMinimum Ship Size: HugePurchase DC: 28Restriction: Mil (+3)Federation Class F Shuttlecraft[ATTACH]83355[/ATTACH]A standard issue shuttle aboard Starfleet ships and stations for interplanetary transportation when transporters were not usable. Originally deployed in the mid-23rd century, these shuttles are considered obsolete and used by many civilians or sold to developing FTL capable societies.These shuttles had a duranium lined shell, shaped like a brick, with an angled front that had three windows that had retractable shutters to protect the pilot and passengers from bright lights or other anomalies. The sides had a short wing that ran the last two-thirds of the ship that supported the engine nacelles, and propelled by an ion/impulse engine. A door on each side in front of the wings allowed crew to enter or exit. The shuttles had fairly basic sensors installed as standard, but can easily mount more powerful and special sensors for different missions, and came with basic shields for defense but no weapons. Inside, the shuttle was divided into two sections, the larger forward section had seating for 7, including the pilot, and space for some cargo, and the rear smaller section was the engineering section, that allowed access to the engines and other systems. The seats can be easily removed to allow the ship to carry more cargo. The shuttle can easily enter and leave a planet's atmosphere to reach a ship or station in orbit, and travel between planets within a system. Usually carries enough fuel to travel across a Sol sized solar system twice.In Coreline, after the 23 Hours, Starfleet and the Federation discovered a large number of these shuttles on starbases, colonies and on some starships. They at first used them to shuttle people and supplies to help maintain order in the ensuing chaos of some of their colonies and other areas of their territory was suddenly invaded by other factions, before everything settled down. Now, while the shuttles are considered obsolete and contain no real sensitive or secret technologies, many are sold in civilian markets and even to some new allies, as long as the Prime Directive isn't violated (the allies have to have developed FTL technology, or some equivalent, such as jump gates or stargates). A few small civilian shipyards within Federation space have licensing to produce more Class F shuttles and parts for them.Class F Shuttle (PL6-7)Type: UltralightSubtype: Shuttle (orbital)Size: Huge (-2)Tactical Speed: 3500Defense: 8Flat-Footed Defense: Autopilot Defense: 9Hardness: 20Hit Dice: 4d20 (80 HP), 100 HP shieldsInitiative Modifier: Pilot's Class Bonus: Pilot's Dex Modifier: Gunner's Attack Bonus: Length: 22.3 ftWeight: 37,500 lbsTargeting System Bonus: +0Crew: 1Passenger Capacity: 6Cargo Capacity: 500-5000 lbsGrapple Modifier: Base PDC: 50, within Federation space or allies 40-45.Restriction: Attack: Attack of Opportunity: Standard PL(6-7) Design Spec: Agile Ships (+1 Dodge), Easy to Repair (Repair DC -4, -25% time), Swiss Army Tech, Shield Dependent Engines: thrusters, ion engineArmour: polymericDefense Systems: Shields, autopilotSensors: Class IICommunications: radio transceiverWeapons: noneGrappling Systems: none</blockquote>
