Message: <blockquote data-quote="kronos182" data-source="post: 9391099" data-attributes="member: 6668634">Some Starship Trooper stuff.TAC Fighter/BomberThe TAC Fighter/Bomber is a craft used by the United Citizen Federation, with a broad triangular shape, with the main wings mounted at the front of the craft, with a short engine block, made up of three engines, that sticks out from the back with two short rear wings that stick out from the top of the rear. The hull is angular and raises above the wings, with the blocky air intakes mounted with one on each side and one on top at the rear behind the cockpit. The cockpit has two angular canopies in tandem for the two crew members. Two fire-linked rail cannons are fitted on either side of the hull in wing roots. The underside of the wings has mounts for missiles, while a central missile and bomb bay is in the belly. The flat triangular wing design provides the TAC Fighter/Bomber good atmospheric flight capabilities, and it is also capable of operating in space, capable of reaching orbit under its own power. Type: UltralightSubtype: Fighter/bomberSize: Gargantuan (–4 size)Length: 21 feet long, 45 feet wideWeight: 39,000 lb.Crew: 2 (expert +8)Passenger Capacity: 0Cargo Capacity: 700 lb.Tactical Speed: 3500 ft.

The craft is a sleek hull with wings mounted at the middle of the craft's length on top of the hull behind the single crew cockpit. Twin tails raise up at an angle from the rear of the twin engines. Instead of rail cannons the TAC fighter mounts potent gauss guns in the wing tips, with numerous missiles under the wings. These craft are used to intercept airborne enemies and escort fighter/bombers, bombs and shuttles. Type: UltralightSubtype: FighterSize: Gargantuan (–4 size)Length: 36 feet long, 54 ft wideWeight: 54,000 lb.Crew: 2 (expert +8)Passenger Capacity: 0Cargo Capacity: 700 lb.Tactical Speed: 3500 ft.

Two crew members pilot the craft. It follows a similar design as the TAC fighter/bomber, with a broad arrow shaped wing and hull, with the engines at the rear one inside of the wings angled inwards. The Bomber has internal missile and bomb bays, but can also carry several weapons externally under the wings. Two rail cannons are fitted in the nose for self defense or last ditch attacks when all missiles and bombs are exhausted. Type: UltralightSubtype: Fighter/bomberSize: Gargantuan (–4 size)Length: 21 feet long, 45 feet wideWeight: 39,000 lb.Crew: 2 (expert +8)Passenger Capacity: 0Cargo Capacity: 700 lb.Tactical Speed: 3500 ft.

Bombs are typically unguided, and suffer -1/500 ft target moves per round to attack rolls. External PayloadThe craft can carry multiple munitions under the wings, with 4 mountings. Each mounting can carry either 4 missiles, or 2 bombs. Each mounting must carry the same weapon. While carrying external weapons, suffers -2 to Initiative and Pilot checks. When half the mounts are used up, reduce the penalty to -1, and when all empty, remove the penalty. Selective Fire-Link MunitionsThe bombs and missiles can be selectively fire-linked as long as enough of the munitions of the same type are available.

The ships have a two crew cockpit in front of rectangular cargo section, with two wings mounted an top, with main engines sticking out the upper rear. The tips of the wings have thrusters for vertical take off and landings. They have a hook on the top that allows them to be stored and launched from a rail on most capital ships for rapid deployment. They have a door on each side, allowing 1 person to enter or exit each door per round. Takes a full round for crew of two to enter and start the craft. Type: UltralightSubtype: DropshipSize: Gargantuan (–4 size)Length: 41 feet long, 45 feet wideWeight: 110,000 lb.Crew: 2 (expert +8)Passenger Capacity: 12Cargo Capacity: 3000 lb.Tactical Speed: 3500 ft.

It is larger than the DR-8 Skyhook, which two large cargo pods on either side of the hull, capable of carrying up to 50 Mobile Infantry troopers. Unfortunately they were not designed to carry power armoured troops. On either side of the pods are rotating engines that provide forward thrust and rotate down for vertical landings and take off, with part of the wings providing protection for the engines. The Viking, unlike the Skyhook, is equipped with missile launchers to clear the landing field or defense in addition to the chaff dispensers. The missile launchers are on top of the craft, which allows them to still fire even while the ship has landed. There is a hatch with a ramp on each pod at the front to allow for quick deployment. Five troopers can exit each hatch per round as a move action. Takes a full round for crew of two to enter and start the craft. Type: UltralightSubtype: dropshipSize: Gargantuan (–4 size)Length: 25 feet long, 60 feet wideWeight: 139,000 lb.Crew: 2 (expert +8)Passenger Capacity: 50Cargo Capacity: 10,000 lb.Tactical Speed: 3500 ft.

The ships are capable of FTL speeds. About one-third from the nose, is an indent on the top which functions as a flight deck, holding up to 15 TAC fighters, or 10 TAC fighter/bombers or Bombers at the ready, which an elevator that lowers them into an internal hanger for repairs and refueling, taking a full two rounds to move from hanger to deck and into flight position. This flight deck can be used to hold additional cargo, but must be stored in sealed containers as the deck is exposed to the vacuum of space. There is a lower hanger bay in the bow with launch bays on each side to hold and launch up to 18  DR-4 Vikings, or 20 DR-8 Skyhooks. About midship on the ventral side are several drop pod bays for Mobile Infantry drop pods.For weapons, the ships carried one triple barrel turret and two dual barrel turrets with multiple point defense turrets. Just past the mid point on the dorsal side is a raised structure that contains the primary communications systems. The bridge is positioned just above the point the nose starts to curve down from the main body.While the ship was called a corvette, it functioned more as a frigate or light carrier due to the onboard craft it carried. UCF Corvette Transport (PL6-7)Type: Light Subtype: FrigateSize: Colossal (-8)Tactical Speed: 3000 ftDefense: 7 (-8 size +3 class +2 Dex)Flat-Footed Defense: 5Autopilot Defense: 5Hardness: 30Hit Dice: 58d20 (1000 hp)Initiative Modifier: +2Pilot's Class Bonus: +3Pilot's Dex Modifier: +2Gunner's Attack Bonus: +2Length: 1804 ftWeight: 5100 tonsTargeting System Bonus: +3Crew: 60 (trained +4), plus 51 pilots and 75 support crewPassenger Capacity: 10 non combatants/VIP, 700 troopsCargo Capacity: 100 tonsGrapple Modifier: +16Base PDC: 61Restriction: Mil +3Attack:1 battery of 3 heavy laser -1 ranged (8d6, 20, fire, 4000 ft, single, front arc only) and 2 fire-linked laser turret -7 ranged (9d8, 20, fire, 3000 ft, single) and 2 fire-linked laser turret -7 ranged (9d8, 20, fire, 3000 ft, single); orAny arc 2 fire-linked laser turret -3 ranged (9d8, 20, fire, 3000 ft, single) and 2 fire-linked laser turret -8 ranged (9d8, 20, fire, 3000 ft, single)Attack of Opportunity: Point Defense System +3 ranged (2d10x12) Bonuses: +5 Fort vs radiation, -5 to -10 to sensors with chaff (30% miss for missiles)Standard PL(6) Design Spec: hanger (18 drop ships, 15 fighters or 10 bombers), flight deckEngines: thrusters, fusion torchArmour: vanadiumDefense Systems: autopilot, damage control (2d10), radiation shielding, chaff (12 bundles)Sensors: Class II sensor array, targeting systemCommunications: radio transceiver, laser transceiverWeapons: 1 battery of 3 heavy lasers, 2 dual fire-linked laser turretsGrappling Systems: none Flight DeckThe flight deck can hold up to total of 15 fighters or 10 fighter/bombers or bombers at once and at the ready, capable of launching 4 fighters at a time (two each side). When not in use, fighters are lowered into an internal hanger for refueling, arming and repairs, with a total of 5 fighters or bombers can be carried internally at a time, with the rest sitting on the deck, 4 ready to launch at any given time. Takes 2 full rounds to move a craft from the flight deck to the internal hanger or vice versa. Alternatively, if no fighters are carried, up to 3000 tons can be held in sealed containers on the flight deck. Variants Heavy CorvetteThis variant strips out most of the hangers, leaving a smaller hanger in the bow for one third of the drop ship capacity, for a total of 6, and most of the troop capacity. Replacing all this is a pair of CHE missile launchers and the dual lasers are replaced with heavy lasers, while the heavy lasers are replaced with neutron gun for greater range.Make following changes to Corvette Transport to make Heavy Corvette:Change crew to 75, plus 16 pilots plus 24 support;Reduce passenger capacity to 220 troops;Replace battery of 3 heavy lasers to battery of 3 heavy neutron guns (10d8, 20, energy, 6000 ft, single);Replace dual fire-linked laser turrets with dual fire-linked heavy laser turrets (12d8, 20, fire, 4000 ft, single);Add 2 fire-linked CHE missile launchers (9d12, 19-20, ballistic, -, single 16 missiles each, 32 total);Hanger only carries 6 DX class drop ships;PDC +1 CEC Striker CorvetteThe New Republic, and former Rebel Alliance forces found a few disabled UCF Corvette Transports and hired Corellian Engineering Corp to restore and alter the basic hull. The triple turret is replaced with a triple turbo laser battery. The two dual laser turrets replaced with two dual light turbolaser turrets. The DX hangers and launch bays are modified into a single larger hanger. The  top flight deck is replaced with a second triple turbo laser, fire-linking the two batteries for improved fire power. The drop pod chutes are replaced with a battery two concussion missile launchers, with a large payload. Shield generators are also installed for added defense. Rounding out the upgrades is a x2 hyperdrive and a tractor beam mounted near the hanger to aid in retrieving craft or capturing enemy craft. CEC Striker Corvette (PL6-7)Type: Light Subtype: FrigateSize: Colossal (-8)Tactical Speed: 3000 ftDefense: 7 (-8 size +3 class +2 Dex)Flat-Footed Defense: 5Autopilot Defense: 5Hardness: 30Hit Dice: 58d20 (1000 hp) shields 280 hpInitiative Modifier: +4Pilot's Class Bonus: +3Pilot's Dex Modifier: +2Gunner's Attack Bonus: +2Length: 1804 ftWeight: 5100 tonsTargeting System Bonus: +3Crew: 40 (trained +4) plus 30 droids, plus 51 pilots and 75 support crewPassenger Capacity: 10 non combatants/VIP, 700 troopsCargo Capacity: 100 tonsGrapple Modifier: +16Base PDC: 62Restriction: Mil +3Attack:2 fire-linked batteries of 3 turoblasers -1 ranged (18d8, 20, fire, 9000 ft, single, front arc only, ignore 20 DR) and 2 fire-linked light turbolaser turret -8 ranged (15d8, 20, fire, 9500 ft, single, ignore 15 points DR) and 2 fire-linked light turbolaser turret -7 ranged (15d8, 20, fire, 9500 ft, single, ignore 15 points DR); orAny arc 2 fire-linked light turbolaser turret -3 ranged (15d8, 20, fire, 9500 ft, single, ignore 15 points DR) and 2 fire-linked light turbolaser turret -8 ranged (15d8, 20, fire, 9500 ft, single, ignore 15 points DR); orAgainst small craft (fighters, shuttles, small freighters) Battery of 2 concussion missile launchers +0 ranged (10d10, 19-20x2, 4000 ft, single) Attack of Opportunity: Point Defense System + ranged (2d10x12) Bonuses: +5 Fort vs radiation, -5 to -10 to sensors with chaff (30% miss for missiles) Turbolasers -1 to attack roll size Ultralight, Concussion Missiles +2 Ultralight subtypes shuttle and similar sized or smallerStandard PL(6) Design Spec: hanger (30 fighters or 15 shuttles/light freighters, 1 shuttle/freighter takes up space of 2 fighters)Engines: thrusters, fusion torch, x2 hyperdriveArmour: vanadiumDefense Systems: autopilot, damage control (2d10), radiation shielding, shieldsSensors: Class III sensor array, targeting systemCommunications: radio transceiver, laser transceiverWeapons: 2 fire-linked batteries of 3 turbolasers, 2 dual fire-linked light turbolaser turrets, 1 battery of 2 concussion missile launchers (50 missiles each)Grappling Systems: tractor beam Concussion MissilesConcussion missiles are a type of short range anti-vehicle missile generally deployed by a starship, vehicle mounted or even shoulder launchers.
