(Fire-linked turbolasers are often described as “batteries,” but this is not the same thing as a weapon battery in game terms.) With every attack, fire-linked missiles and torpedoes consume a number of shots of ammunition equal to the number of fire-linked launchers. Starships of the Galaxy, page 45.Weapons of any type that deal damage can be fire-linked to increase their output, using up more space than a double or quad weapon but costing less. Launchers: The ammunition capacity of a concussion missile launcher is determined by its size: light, 6 medium, 16 heavy, 30.Additional capacity can be added, increasing the cost by 20% for each additional missile (up to a maximum of double capacity). such missiles have penetration 10 (ignoring the first 10 points of DR or SR) but cause a −5 penalty on attack rolls with the weapon. All concussion missiles have a 4-square splash radius.Īrmor-Piercing Concussion Missiles: Although all concussion missiles are designed for heavily armored targets, some are optimized for this role however, these warheads require a more precise shot to detonate properly. Because of their bulk, concussion missiles are generally preferred to space transports and capital ships. When one explodes, it gives off a powerful concussive blast that disrupts delicate instruments and equipment, causing shock and blast damage to more durable targets. Starships of the Galaxy, page 45.A concussion missile carries a warhead containing a compact energy pack. These values are representative, and a Gamemaster is free to modify them as they desire.ġ Colossal (frigate) or larger ships only
It’s impossible to detail every weapon system for very manufacturer throughout every era. Note that the damage given for these weapons is typical, not absolute, and naming conventions are far from universal. Several common (and some not-so-common) weapon systems are detailed below. Similarly, no matter what documentation you have, a vessel outfitted with heavy turbolasers is viewed with suspicion unless it belongs to a well-known ally. Every weapon is required to have an arms load-out permit, but as long as a civilian ship isn’t bristling with proton torpedo launchers, very few officials care to check such things.
Most starships carry at least one or two weapons, for defense against pirates and asteroids if nothing else.
